The Post Millennial ^ | Jan 7, 2023

Speaking at an event at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday evening, Donald Trump slammed the Biden regime over the arrest of Ashli Babbitt's mother. Ashli Babbitt was killed by a United States Capitol Police officer on Jan. 6.

Witthoeft was arrested outside of the Capitol on Friday, the two-year anniversary of her daughter's death.

Trump brought up the arrest during a special CPAC event at Mar-a-Lago, pointing to the weaponization of law enforcement under the Biden regime.



"We have a weaponized country right now with law enforcement. It's a disgrace what's happening to our country. Ashli Babbitt's mother was arrested yesterday, because she was protesting the death of her daughter being shot by a lunatic who got a record of— not so good.

"And then they try and protect him and they do things— what they've done to that family. That they shot her, there was no reason, and then they arrested— because the mother was in a group— and they arrested yesterday the mother of Ashli Babbitt. So she loses her daughter and then on top of it, she gets arrested.

"We're not gonna let this go on. We're not gonna let this go. on these people are horrible, horrible. And what they've done to protest us. I mean, these were protesters, they were protesting a dishonest election.

"And whenever you mentioned that they don't want to ever talk to you because they don't want to have that out there. The one thing they don't want to talk about is a dishonest election. Because they know and they've been caught."

In footage circulated on social media by streamer Woke Societies, Micki Witthoeft was seen being handcuffed and taken into custody by multiple police officers while onlookers protested.



"You murdered [Ashli] inside the Capitol, now you're going to arrest her?" one onlooker said.

"I did not murder her daughter," one officer replied in front of the crowd of people.

On Jan. 6, 2021, Babbitt, an unarmed Air Force veteran, was fatally shot by Lt. Michael Byrd. while attempting to make entry into the interior of the Capitol Building.

According to The National Pulse's Raheem Kassam, Witthoeft was arrested for "jaywalking."

We gripe about the liberal media and how they dissect conservatives to make them look bad. Conservative media is doing this against the Capitol police. She was asked to vacate the street and refused. When a cop approached her, she offered herself for arrest. It is also said she told the officer to arrest her. But she was in the street blocking traffic and was asked many times to move off the street.

Ashli’s husband told Tucker her mother had been protesting in DC since August, and Jan 6 was the date they arrested her.

coincidence?

MTG is the Republican answer to AOC. The latter got into Congress by defeating a standard liberal high up in the Democratic hierarchy. AOC was co-opted by the House leadership. MTG has undergone a similar process.

The hell with their “permission”. These cops have to ask themselves if this was right. The excuse of “I was just following orders” ceased to be relevant in 1945 or so.

Yes, it was right. She refused to leave the street.

Remember the George Floyd protesters who refused to leave the streets. Weren’t we calling for their arrest and at times even more aggressive tactics. Didn’t we say all they had to do was do what law enforcement asked? We seem to change our tune based on circumstance.

Exactly. Can’t claim the moral high ground if you take a dip in the sewer when convenient.

"She's standing at the end of the steps, not in the street."

It is tough though. They have been flashing their bs tactics for over a decade now, and I don’t blame or side responding in kind. Especially with the ballot harvesting. We have decried it the past two big elections. Maybe it’s time to use it where legal, so we can at least get in office to incorporate change.
