CLARIFICATION: Only one person died as a direct result of the protest at the Capitol. She was a 35-year-old Airforce Veteran named Ashli Babbitt and was shot by law enforcement for refusing to follow a lawful command.
2/ The only non-protester to die was 42-year-old police officer and Air National Guard veteran who supported the president. The circumstances of his death are still under investigation, but his family has asked that they not be politicized against the president.
3/ The remaining three deaths were related to underlying health conditions that had NOTHING to do with the protests including a heart attack, a stroke, and a respiratory issue.
4/ Calling the 'protest' deadly is accurate but it should be noted that the only people who had guns were the police and the only people who were shot were protesters.

BREAKING: CNN’s Jade Sacker penetrating the Capitol with a member of BLM/Antifa cheering, “We did it!” And then asking her conspirator if he was filming, he said he’d delete it, he lied. CNN was in on it.
2/ To make this clear. CNN was embedded with BLM/Antifa pretending to be Trump supporters videoing them incite a riot. This is freaking huge. If CNN is allowed to maintain its press access anywhere in DC there needs to be a serious overhaul of our entire system.
3/ According to sources she was working on a CNN project, but she's done a lot of work for NBC and NPR.
BREAKING: The FBI has arrested #BlackLivesMatter self-described anti-fascist John Sullivan for leading the charge during the insurrection at the Capitol. Sullivan goaded the first casualty of the event to climb through a window just before she was killed. justice.gov/opa/page/file/…
2/ The FBI alleged that moments before breaching the Capitol's security John Sullivan told a crowd of disguised counter-protesters, "we about to burn this shit down, we got to rip Trump out of office, fucking pull him out of that shit, we ain't waiting until the next election...
3/ "...we about to go get that mother fucker, it is time for a revolution."
Shortly afterward Sullivan could be heard goading Ashli Babbitt to jump through a window as he filmed her being shot and killed by law enforcement.
BREAKING: For the first time since the Civil War a U.S. city is occupied by armed forces, not under the command of the Commander in Chief. The 20,000 National Guard troops in DC are from over 30 states meaning they are outside the chain of command of the commander in chief.
2/ Guardsmen from 30 states are authorized to provide armed support for the U.S. Capitol Police to protect members of Congress and their staff. The Secretary of the Army authorized the National Guard Bureau to send the troops. militarytimes.com/news/your-mili…
3/ FYI the only National Guard troops under Trump's command are those permanently stationed in DC.
1/ 2020 ELECTION REPORT THREAD: Former Democrat and Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, Peter Navarro, drafted the three-part Navarro Report analyzing the 2020 Election from an economist's perspective. A MUST READ. @RealPNavarro
2/ Volume 1 of the Navarro Report, The Immaculate Deception, assessed the fairness and integrity of the 2020 Presidential Election by identifying and assessing six key dimensions of alleged election irregularities.@RealPNavarroimg1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/be36…
3/ Volume 2 of the Navarro Report, The Art of the Steal, examined the institutional genesis of the six types of election irregularities. @RealPNavarro img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/be36…
1/ PROFILE THREAD: So just who were the people who entered the Capitol on the afternoon of January 6th? If you believe the media they were wealthy, well-armed, white nationalists seeking to overthrow the government - a riotous insurgency. Here are the stories of a few of them:
2/ Klete Keller, an Olympic swimmer, was seen on videos from inside the Capitol standing 6'6" wearing his U.S. Olympic team jacket. Klete completed in three summer games earning two gold medals, a silver, and two bronze medals.
3/ The economic downturn hit the former Olympian very hard resulting in the loss of his family and home. Klete was homeless for almost a year before finding work just after President Trump was elected. amazon.com/Gold-homeless-…
TWITTER HATE TREAD: The messages Twitter won't censor and Apple, Google, and Amazon won't suppress: @dave_suspect
2/ Trump has never called for the death of anyone on Twitter and yet he has been banned. Iran threatens an entire religion and nation and their leader is still on the platform. @khamenei_ir
3/ Twitter users call for the death of supporters of the President of the United States routinely and yet they're allowed on the platform. @B1GBUD
