Live from Music Row Tuesday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed official guest host Grant Henry in the studio for another edition of Grant’s Rants.
HENRY CONTINUED:
Here’s a question for today. Are you as dumb as Joe Biden thinks you are? Are you as dumb as Joe Biden thinks you are? Did any of you listen to the speech that Democrats gave last Thursday on January 6th? No? Good. I didn’t either. And I would not advise that you go back and listen to these speeches.
It was an entire day devoted to vapid pandering, grandstanding, and Democrats willfully disregarding the summer that preceded January 6 so they can make one last desperate ploy for campaign donations. Now, if you did avoid these speeches as I did and you may have missed one of the biggest controversies of the entire year.
And Scooter is going to get this clip ready for me. And as he gets this clip ready for me right now, audience, tell me if you can pick up on the controversy. Scooter hit that clip for a second.
(Biden and Pelosi clip plays)
Jill and I have had more police officers in this Capitol rotunda not once but twice in the wake of January 6. Wants to honor Officer Brian Sicknick a second time to honor Officer Billy Evans, who lost his life defending the capitol as well.
You think about the others who lost their lives and were injured and everyone living with the trauma of that day. And to conclude, I want to acknowledge our fallen heroes of that day. U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, U.S. Capitol Police Officer Howard Liebengood, Metropolitan Officer Jeffrey Smith, U.S. Capitol Police Officer Billy Evans of a later assault.
Now, of course, that was President Joe Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi running through the list of individual officers that had lost their lives on that day. And if you missed the controversy there, let me break it down for you.
No, it wasn’t that Brian Sicknick died of natural causes due to a stroke the day after January 6, as D.C. medical examiners found, or that an investigation found that Brian texted his brother on January 6 that he only, ‘aught a little pepper spray and was doing just fine.’
Although those distinctions are important and no, it wasn’t the DC officers Jeffrey Smith or Howard Liebengood actually committed suicide after January 6. Although that is an extremely important and exceedingly interesting distinction.
It was the mention of Officer Billy Evans. Run a search for Officer Billy Evans, and you’d be forgiven if you completely forgot about this story or if you never actually heard of this story, Billy Evans was the only Capitol police officer killed on duty all of last year.
Yet Billy Evans was the officer the Democrats cared least about last year, at least until right now, when they can exploit his death for their perverse cause of garnering campaign donations.
Officer Billy Evans was the individual that the Nation of Islam adherent to Noah Green rammed into with his car outside the capital last year on August 2nd. I’ll say that again. Officer Billy Evans was struck by a car on August 2, 2021 in a deliberate attack seven months after the events that happened on January 6.
Billy Evans’s death was used retroactively by Democrats to pad the violence numbers on January 6. This is not some kind of innocuous mistake. This is not our elected officials merely misremembering the events of that day. This is not even the result of poor research.
This is a clear-cut example of Democrat leadership maliciously misleading our country. This is disgusting exploitation. It is dare I say, deplorable behavior. So I asked again, Democrats, are you as dumb as Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi think you are?
Are you willing to continually allow our elected officials to get away with this kind of narcissistic gas lighting? If you have to lie to make your point, you don’t have a point to make. I say again, Michael, stop participating in their lies.
