President Biden marked the third anniversary of the January 6 Capitol protest by portraying former President Donald Trump as a “threat to democracy” and an “insurrectionist.”
Biden repeated the false claim that police officers were killed by the crowd on January 6, attributing their deaths to Donald Trump’s lies.
However, Officer Brian Sicknick’s cause of death was determined to be natural causes, and four officers committed suicide in the weeks and months following the protest. (Trending: Chilling Arrest Footage of Trump Co-Defendant Provides Glimpse Into Jack Smith Probe)

Additionally, the president and other Democrat leaders have included unrelated incidents, such as the killing of Officer Billy Evans, as part of the January 6 “death toll.”
“Three years ago tomorrow, we saw with our own eyes the violent mob storm the United States Capitol. It was almost in disbelief as you first turned on the television. For the first time in our history, insurrections had come to stop the peaceful transfer of power in America,” Biden said.
“Over 140 police officers were injured. Jill and I attended the funeral of police officers who died as a result of the events of that day because Donald Trump’s lies,” he added.
“They died because these lies brought a mob to Washington.”
“Today is a ceremony to honor heroes of Jan. 6,” Biden said.
“We also recognize the late US Capitol Police Officer Billy Evans. His family is with us today,” Biden said a year ago today.
“While they were still cordoning off the Capital because threats by these sick insurrectionists continued to be propagated on the internet — again, all America saw what happened when Officer Evans was killed defending a checkpoint you had to go through to get up to the Capitol because of these godawful sick threats that continue to move forward,” he said.
“And the whole world saw it. It’s just hard to believe, it’s hard to believe it could happen here in America.”
