Say Her Name! “Ashli Babbit”

Ashli Babbit (an Air Force veteran of 22 years) rallied at the Capitol in response to a rigged election, as has been fully revealed in the (now fully documented) Maricopa Cover-up. Perhaps observing the toleration by authorities granted other protesters throughout 2020 (e.g., police precincts and cars being set on fire by protestors deemed, “mostly peaceful”), she may have expected a bit of leeway. She did not get it. When Ashli tried to climb over someone’s back into the Capitol, and was (unarmed) shot point-blank in the throat by a cop of a different color than she.

“These previously secret records show there was no good reason to shoot and kill Ashli Babbitt,” stated Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, which obtained the documents through a May 2021 FOIA lawsuit. “The Biden-Garland Justice Department and the Pelosi Congress have much to answer for the over the mishandling and cover-up of this scandalous killing of an American citizen by the U.S. Capitol Police.”
