I remember reading after the Capitol riot that the officer that died, had died of a stroke. That was information directly from the head of the Capitol Police Union...someone I would assume would have accurate info.

That was QUICKLY changed to claim he died from being beat with a fire extinguisher by "the pro-Trump mob". And that's been the narrative ever since. It's been the single worst thing about the riot, that so-called conservative, pro-police people, killed a police officer. It's also the main catalyst that pushed the 2nd impeachment. It was cited during the arguments.

Except...it's not true. The officer in fact died from a stroke the next day and his autopsy showed no signs of blunt force trauma.

They did the same thing as the Russia investigation, used outright PROVEN FALSE media bullshit stories from anonymous sources as evidence.
