Brother-in-law of Capitol riot victim: President Trump to blame for inciting violence that killed ‘four of his biggest fans’

The brother-in-law of a Georgia woman trampled to death in the U.S. Capitol riot laid the blame for her death squarely on President Trump.

“It is my own personal belief that the president’s words and rhetoric incited a riot (Wednesday) that killed four of his biggest fans,” said Justin Cave, whose sister-in-law Rosanne Boyland was crushed as protesters stormed the building after an incendiary two-hour speech by the president.

“And I believe that we should invoke the 25th Amendment at this time,” added Cave in a Thursday statement calling for Trump’s removal from the Oval Office before the end of his first and last term in the White House.

Boyland, 34, traveled with a friend from her home in Kennesaw, Ga., to the nation’s capital to join other “Make America Great Again” protesters — only to die as the rabid Trump supporters surged toward the Capitol at the president’s urging.

Three other protesters who traveled to Washington for the demonstration-turned-riot also died before the violence ended, with one shot to death by police inside the Capitol.

The Georgia victim’s friend Justin Winchell, speaking with WGCL-TV in Atlanta, said he and Boyland followed the president’s call for a march on the Capitol and wound up trapped in a clash between rioters and police.

Demonstrators starting pushing people, and “they basically created a panic,” he recalled. “And the police in turn push back on them, so people started falling.”

Boyland was pinned to the ground as the confrontation escalated, and her friend tried in vain to pull the Georgia woman out of harm’s way.

“I put my arm underneath her and was pulling her out, and then another guy fell on top of her, and another guy was just walking (on her),” he said. “There were people stacked two, three-deep. People just crushed ... I lost a dear, dear friend. An amazing friend.”

But Winchell declined to lay the blame on Trump, improbably suggesting outside instigators like Antifa fomented the rioting.

“She was killed by an incited event, and it was not incited by Trump supporters,” he declared.
