Newsweek - An attorney known for defending January 6, 2021 Capitol riot participants compared former President Donald Trump to Jesus Christ in light of his rumored arrest next week. ...Joseph D. McBride, a conservative lawyer known for defending several January 6 defendants, took to Twitter on Saturday with a reaction to Trump's claim about an impending arrest. He compared Trump's situation to the death and resurrection of Jesus. He also urged Trump supporters to protest the potential arrest peacefully, and to vote to reelect him in 2024. "President Trump will be arrested during Lent—a time of suffering and purification for the followers of Jesus Christ," McBride wrote on Twitter. "As Christ was crucified, and then rose again on the 3rd day, so too will [Donald Trump]. Violence is never the answer. Winning the election is. Vote for Trump!" He added in a further tweet: "JESUS LOVES DONALD TRUMP. JESUS DIED FOR DONALD TRUMP. JESUS LIVES INSIDE DONALD TRUMP. DEAL WITH IT."

Even more stupid stuff: at Common Dreams today, Kenny Stancil ("Threat to the Nation") claims that "Multiple people died as a result of the failed coup".
That is the kind of shoddy claim that fuels the Trumps of the world.
Only ONE person (F,35) died "as a result of" (= caused by) "coup" activities, and she seems to have been delusional in that she ignored the cop's obvious intention to shoot her, which is what he did when she continued trying to climb thru the window. He shot her in the shoulder, apparently near her neck, and she received emergency medical care while being transported to the hospital, but died later anyway. Why she died from a shoulder wound was not explained, but it may really have been a neck wound or it may have been due to the psych trauma of having her delusion violently interrupted.
2 other rioters (M,50; M,55) died of natural causes: stress affecting pre-existing cardio disorder. Any stress would have done it; they just happened to choose joining a riot.
A fourth rioter (F,34) died from the stress of drug use, not riot activities.
The fifth person, Officer Sicknick, died of a pre-existing cardio disorder. Like the 2 rioters with cardio conditions, he might have survived for a long time without the stress of the day, but any stress would have fatally overloaded his system.
