As Twitchy just reported, Massachusetts Republican Gov. Charlie Baker tweeted a statement “on today’s somber anniversary” that includes the following about January 6th, 2021: “One of those officers who lost his life that day was William Evans, a North Adams native who tragically leaves a beautiful family.”
Except Evans lost his life on April 2 when Noah Green rammed the North Barricade at the Capitol. Another officer was injured. According to the USCP, Green exited his vehicle with a knife after ramming the two officers and was then shot and killed.
Not to be outdone, Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a moment of silence for four law enforcement officers “who died because of #January6th”:

So she also included Brian Sicknick, who was determined to have died from natural causes the following day.

This is debunked disinformation.

None of them died because of January 6th. This lying needs to stop.
— Candy Lamb (@candylamb47) January 6, 2022
None of those people died because of #January6th, you liars. One didn’t die until April in an unrelated incident, at the hands of a Nation of Islam cultist.
What the hell is wrong with you? Delete this.

FACT CHECK: none of them died because of 1/6
— Hirohito 🎯 (@CallMeMrA) January 6, 2022
Clever phrasing and I'm fine with it. But, none died as a result of the activities on January 6, as she obviously implies.

“Because of”
Purposely vague because there was no direct cause
— Ultra-MAGA Magheetah (@Mahgeetah1) January 6, 2022
-Sicknick died of natural causes (Stroke)
-Smith committed suicide days after 1/6
-Liebengood committed suicide days after 1/6
-Evans was run down by Noah Green, a Louis Farrakhan devotee in a separate and unrelated incident.
Only 1 person died on 1/6… unarmed Ashli Babbitt

"Our fallen heroes OF THAT DAY", she says. There is no reason for Evans to be in that list. By the "but she said of later events" logic, she could have mentioned every single cop killed in 2021

This is completely fake and should be banned.

Sicknick died of a stroke. Evans was killed by a leftist lunatic weeks afterwards. The other two were suicides. Pelosi is lying blatantly and shamelessly. But she's in the ruling class so she is allowed to do this without consequence.

As we noted Wednesday, Attorney General Merrick Garland in his speech named five police officers who had responded to the Capitol riot who had died since January 6.
Where are @ddale8 and @glennkessler?
