Fact
Five people died in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot and its immediate aftermath. One pro-Trump rioter, Ashli Babbitt, was shot and killed by police as she climbed through a broken part of a Capitol door into an area where members of Congress were sheltering from the rioters.
More importantly, Brian Sicknick, a police officer who died the day after battling the rioters, and four additional officers who responded to the riot killed themselves in the following weeks and months.
It should also be noted that Trump previously referred to Ashli Babbitt’s death on January 6th but apparently forgot that fact during his gaslighting efforts at his August 8, 2024 news conference.
