This is a real sore spot for this editor. As we all know, Monday was the anniversary of 9/11, which some thought was comparable in scope to January 6 — or that January 6 was even worse because the American experiment itself was hanging in the balance. Nearly 3,000 innocent people died horribly on 9/11; meanwhile, at the Capitol, protester Ashley Babbitt was shot and killed by a cop.
There's this liberal fiction going around since 2021 that several police officers were killed on January 6. The actual number was zero. One Capitol Police officer died the following day of natural causes according to the coroner's report. Even President Joe Biden has claimed that several police officers were killed (but he's a pathological liar) but we never saw the media's fact-checkers jump on that one. The New York Times did go back and correct a story claiming Officer Brian Sicknick was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher (he wasn't).
Here we are on September 12, 2023, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough is still pushing the fiction that cops were killed on January 6.
Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) ~ MSNBC’s @JoeNBC: “You’ve got [Republicans] talking about these people that killed cops [on 1/6], calling them — again, if you don’t think so, ask the family, okay? Ask the family, who killed the cops?”

Ah, Scarborough ... you're such a sleazy, slimy liar.
The answer is nobody ... nobody killed the cops.
Nick Searcy, INSURRECTIONAL FILM & TELEVISION STAR (@yesnicksearcy) ~ {Replying to @tomselliott and @JoeNBC} Name the cops who were killed and who killed them, liar.
He won't - because he CAN'T.
There are hundreds of J6 defendants — which ones have been charged with murder? Manslaughter?
Julie Kelly (@julie_kelly2) ~ {Replying to @tomselliott and @JoeNBC} Which cops and who was charged with killing them?
Rachel Schwartz (@Schwartzenator5) ~ {Replying to @julie_kelly2 @tomselliott and @JoeNBC} They have no limits to their lies. It’s a worsening saga, day by day to stoke fear. The worst part is that people still trust and watch them! #WakeUp
We were assured that social media was going to crack down on misinformation before the 2024 election.
Rick Saunders (@twobenjamins) ~ {Replying to @tomselliott and @JoeNBC} How does this go without a retraction? Where is the litigation?
It's why ... when MSNBC is on the channel ... all but the few retards who watch MSNBC do this ...
Charles X Proxy™ (@Charlemagne0814) ~ {Replying to @tomselliott and @JoeNBC} And people STILL wonder why the media is not trusted.
Lateboomer (@Lateboomer1963) ~ {Replying to @tomselliott and @JoeNBC} Had cops been killed on Jan 6th we would have seen the biggest funeral procession in DC history right down Pennsylvania Ave thousands of cops would have come from all over the country, their caskets would have been flag covered in the rotunda of the capital. Anyone remember that?
Michael Jones (@BahlestKimmie) ~ {Replying to @tomselliott and @JoeNBC} To be clear. No cops were killed on Jan 6. Only person killed that day was an unarmed protestor shot to death by the capitol police.
Truth Ninja (@TruthNinja316) ~ {Replying to @tomselliott and @JoeNBC} No cops died on J6. Cops did murder people on J6 though. #Facts
Voting For (@Trump_Lake2024) ~ {Replying to @tomselliott and @JoeNBC} It's remarkable -- revolting -- to watch a nationally televised program lie so blatantly.
Chris Johnson (@ChrisJohnson725) ~ {Replying to @tomselliott and @JoeNBC} More people have died in @JoeNBC's Congressional office than cops died on 1/6.
There will be no retraction, no correction, nothing. If challenged, we're sure Scarborough would just double down.
Scarborough doubles down on stupidity every time he opens his yap.
