At Houston O'Reilly tour stop, Trump falsely says only Ashli Babbitt died on January 6
At a paid appearance with Bill O'Reilly at Houston's Toyota Center, Trump told the audience that no one died on January 6 except Ashli Babbitt, the rioter shot by a Capitol Police officer while attempting to breach the Speaker's Lobby. The claim is false: four other people died in connection with the January 6 attack, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died the next day after suffering strokes, and Trump supporters Kevin Greeson and Rosanne Boyland. Trump acknowledged that other deaths occurred during the ensuing days but characterized them as unrelated natural causes rather than deaths connected to the riot. The remark, made a week before the attack's first anniversary, minimized the documented toll of the day while continuing to describe Babbitt as a wonderful patriot.
“I will go a step further, nobody died that day other than a wonderful patriot named Ashli Babbitt.” Quote verified against source
