Tucker Carlson repeated some well-worn and misleading claims about what happened at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. It wasn’t a peaceful protest. Protesters weren’t right that the 2020 election was stolen. And Capitol Police did not act as tour guides.
Chansley was among the first rioters to force their way into the building through a door broken by other rioters. Officers repeatedly asked Chansley to leave the building. This is corroborated by the plea agreement Chansley signed and an officer’s account of the events.
Sicknick, a 42-year-old Capitol Police officer, died the day after the Jan. 6 assault. Initial news reports, citing law enforcement sources, said he had been struck on the head with a fire extinguisher. Follow-up coverage challenged that, saying he had been sprayed with a form of mace, and that the cause of death remained unclear.
But Diaz also noted that Sicknick was among the officers who engaged the mob and said"all that transpired played a role in his condition."
