“He makes sure he gets his face out there. The guy’s a #criminal. He’s the reason my son is dead — because of the riot at the Capitol,” Charles #Sicknick, Brian’s dad, told the DailyNews. “He’s a publicity hound. #Trump does whatever will get him votes & helps Donald Trump. There’s nothing good about that man.”

“Every time I see that an #officer has been killed in the line of duty, it really does affect me & I feel for that family.” Kenneth #Sicknick said.

“The fact is [#Trump] states he’s law & order but he sent a mob that ultimately ended up killing my brother. He has such a lack of self-awareness of what he does. He’s using that officer’s death as a campaign platform.”

#Trump was #indicted last year by a #federal #GrandJury for his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, & has been blamed for #inciting the mob that stormed the Capitol on #Jan6.

He is currently under #indictment in #Manhattan for falsifying business records to hide #HushMoney payments to porn star Stormy Daniels. He is also facing #racketeering charges in #Georgia for an alleged effort to subvert that state’s election laws following his loss to Biden in the 2020 election.

#BrianSicknick was 42 & a member of the #CapitolPolice when he responded to the unrest on #Jan6, 2021. During the turmoil, Sicknick was attacked by two rioters who sprayed him with pepper spray. He returned to his base & collapsed. Medics rushed him to a hospital, where he died the next day.

…He reportedly suffered two strokes.

“…Officer Sicknick died in the line of duty, courageously defending #Congress & the #Capitol,” the Capitol police said in a stmnt at the time.
