Among those testifying before Congress Tuesday was Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, who kicked things off by claiming that his colleague, Officer Brian Sicknick, “died of injuries he sustained in the line of duty.” It took way longer than it should have, but the medical examiner eventually declared that Sicknick had died from a stroke.
NEW: Capitol riot committee chair Bennie Thompson said "seven people lost their lives." Officer Harry Dunn said Sicknick "died from injuries he sustained in the line of duty." But the M.E. said Sicknick died of a stroke in a "natural" manner.@DCExaminerhttps://t.co/TLtovrf5em

The Washington Examiner’s Jerry Dunleavy checked with Dunn’s lawyer to see if he stood by that claim. Apparently, it was not meant to be interpreted as a medical diagnosis.
UPDATE: I asked Dunn's lawyer Mark Zaid about Dunn saying Sicknick "died from injuries he sustained" even tho M.E. stated Sicknick's death was "natural" & from a stroke. Zaid said Dunn's "comments were not meant to be interpreted as a medical diagnosis."https://t.co/Tbg2NFvVJs pic.twitter.com/lHjJYgoYTx

“Officer Dunn’s statement reflects his personal view of how Officer Sicknick lost his life, and that was in the line of duty fighting against insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the U.S. government,” attorney Mark Zaid said.
Zaid is a class A ambulance chaser. A political hack.

Lol. No one thought that. The problem is he started with a lie. None of his testimony is credible.

They were intended to be used as sound bites all across the country by news organizations who similarly do not care what the facts are. I’m 100% certain that was planned given that fact is so widely known except among liberal idiots

Hard to keep your facts straight when you’re virtue signaling.

It’s sick, but some people really feel they need a fatality on the scoreboard to prove January 6 was worse than 9/11.
