President Joe Biden expressed his sorrow over the death of a Capitol Hill police officer after a violent attack at the Capitol Friday, but he did not condemn the suspect, who identified himself on social media as a follower of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
Biden said in a statement he was "Heartbroken" to learn Officer William Evans of the U.S. Capitol Police was killed in the attack, and that a second officer was severely injured.
The president made no mention of the ideology that likely inspired the attacker.
Noah Green described himself as a "Follower of Farrakhan" on his Facebook page, according to reports.
Green hit two police officers with his car and rammed a security barrier.
Instead of condemning Green's attack President Biden alluded to the mob that stormed Capitol Hill in January to protest his election.
"We know what a difficult time this has been for the Capitol, everyone who works there, and those who protect it," he wrote, and added, "As we mourn the loss of yet another courageous Capitol Police officer, I have ordered that the White House flags be lowered to half-mast."
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
