   But for Trump to describe the wounded—& deceased—police officers of Jan. 6 as “the other side” was just chilling.

   “The other side.” My God.

     Surprised this hasn’t gotten more attention. During the debate, when #Trump claimed (falsely) that on #Jan6 “nobody on the other side was killed,” the “other side” he was talking about was the police & Congress. He also called the rioters “we” before he caught himself.

     & yes there were lots of false statements here. People on “the other side” *were* killed. Ofc Brian Sicknick, 42, had a stroke on Jan. 6, eight hours after being sprayed in the face with chemicals, & died Jan. 7. & the suicides of Ofc Howard Liebengood, 51, & injured Ofc Jeffrey L. Smith, 35, on Jan 9 & Jan 15 were each ruled line-of-duty deaths stemming from J6.
     Finally, Ashli Babbitt’s blood is on *Trump’s* hands. If not for Trump’s lies, she’d be alive today. ...
