Ashli Babbitt did not hide her far-right political views. Outside her San Diego bungalow, located blocks from the beach, she flew both an American flag and a QAnon flag emblazoned with a giant Q and the acronym WWG1WGA, for “Where we go one, we go all.” She plastered her SUV with pro-Trump bumper stickers and a Blue Lives Matter flag. On the door of the local pool-servicing company that she ran with her husband, uncle, and brother, a poster declared it to be a “mask free autonomous zone, better known as America” and added, “If you need to wear a mask outside, I’m not sure we can help you.”
Even so, people close to Babbitt said they had no idea how devoted she was to Donald Trump and his movement until they saw her with a mob inside the U.S. Capitol. Wearing a Trump flag over her shoulders, Babbitt made it as far as a cloakroom just off the House floor when she climbed through a window and was shot by a Capitol police officer on the other side. Babbitt, 35, later died of her injuries. Now her family members are trying to reconcile their own image of the feisty but private woman they knew with the one who stormed Congress as part of a violent mob that called for the killing of lawmakers.
“I actually saw it first on video when I was on the phone with multiple hospitals trying to find her,” said Kayla Joyce, 29, who said she is the mutual live-in girlfriend of Babbitt and her husband, Aaron. “We found out through the news. Through live television.”

No, I’m not kidding. Not at all. Throughout Trump’s presidency his supporters were beaten, rolled, stoned, spat upon, egged, shot at, and many more things besides, all while they were bravipely attending his rallies and just generally supporting him. He rarely acknowledged this schitt was ever happening. On January 6th, he told his supporters to march on the Capitol building, which they did. I don’t agree at all with the characterization of the march as an “insurrection” but his supporters were there on his behalf. Bobbit was shot and killed by a corrupt and incompetent security officer in the most disturbing manner. Trump should at a minimum recognize her support of him and bring attention to the way she was killed.
Instead of “Who dies for Donald Trump” it should be titled “Who Gets Shot Due because of Trump Derangement Syndrome?”
I have been perusing the charges brought against 1/6 protesters. Many of them are akin to loitering. Some were not even in the area of the capitol. If they policed Antifa like that, downtown Portland would be pristine and beautiful.
Ashli did none of that so stop lying about it.
The violence was perpetrated by Trump haters. Try to keep up.
Oh give e a break....I know as do all how this became a riot....but a riot it did become.
Then you’r not informed...someone in front of a riotess mob telling armed security to get out of the way because they’re not going to stop IS a participant in a riot...and she did just that.
better question is ..who kills BECAUSE of DJT....
It was an excecution because the killer got away with it. We don't even know their name.
We will certainly disagree.
Ashli Babbitt had some pool cleaning business...I guess she needed some help...
Did Mr. Tucker Carlson reveal his source for that information?
I don’t believe so.. But Tucker usually is correct on his info...
Another victim of QAnon.
I spent 16 hours of my day going to his rally in Minneapolis at Target center. We waited in line forever.
President Trump acknowledged then that the left does not play fair, that they are violent, and thanked us for being there for him. I and 45,000 other people personally experienced his gratitude. Your statements lead me to believe that you never did attend a rally.
After the rally, it was a s#itshow leaving the place. Antifa started fires in the streets, assaulted people and rocked the cars of people attempting to leave. You don’t need to educate me on the violence of the left.
BTW, calling for a march on the Capitol does not mean INTO the Capitol.
I agree that what happened to Ashli was horrendous and should not have happened. Trump, however, did not ask people to go inside and attempt to take over the building. That was not the kind of support he was asking people to demonstrate.
