Ashli Babbit, protester killed at Capitol, was Air Force vet from California

The President Trump supporter killed in the Capitol building Wednesday is an Air Force vet from California who tweeted a day earlier how “nothing will stop us” and “the storm is here.”

Ashli Babbit, who had 14 years in the service and did four tours of duty, was married and lived near San Diego, her husband Aaron told KUSI-TV.

“I’m numb. I’m devastated. Nobody from DC notified my son and we found out on TV,” the husband’s mother, Robin Babbitt, told The Post, saying of her daughter-in-law, “She is a Trump supporter.”

Everything is “pretty surreal,” added Aaron’s brother, Justin. “It’s hard, because we haven’t been officially notified.”

The day before she was fatally shot — apparently by Capitol Police, Babbit tweeted, “Nothing will stop us…. they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours….dark to light.”

Babbit, who used the Twitter handle CommonAshSense, also retweeted Wednesday morning — a few hours ahead of her and other Trump supporters storming the Capitol — a “MUST BE DONE LIST before Congress meets today.”

It included, “Mike Pence@vp @Mike_Pence must resign & thereafter be charged with TREASON,” and, “Chief Justice John Roberts must RESIGN.”

The rioters were protesting Congress’s impending certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election.

Babbit took a fatal bullet to the chest during the mayhem inside the Capitol.

Video footage captured the sound of the gunshot, and showed the woman crumpling to the floor from multiple angles.

She was apparently shot by Capitol Police, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

That was her last Twitter message.

All gave some - Some gave all.

RIP.

I don’t believe she should have been killed but she did deserve to be arrested as does everyone else that participated in the seige.

I dont believe in it.

Anyone remember when asshat Biden told the police to shoot suspects in the leg?
Anyone remember when asshat Biden wanted to defund the police?
Anyone think the press will ask asshat Biden about those policies?

So sad, she gave her life for freedom.
Prayers up for her family and friends.

Your money won’t protect you. Freedom is more important. You will learn that soon.

Yes you can, you just have to oppose Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation.

She was murdered because of who she was and what her beliefs were.

I suppose you are right. People accidentally get swept in when a mob lays siege as the crowd moves forward

A peaceful protest would have been ignored. We needed electroshock therapy.

None of the invaders were armed ...

What WE need to Know : How the hell did this bunch (yellowshirt beard guy has anarchy tats on his hands) every get IN to the Capitol building ??? There was the most security in its History there today(including Pence’s Secret Service ?) Just one officer in each door with a shotgun should have been enuf.

Sounds very strange - almost contrived ....

Antifa people identified as amongst those getting inside.

Meanwhile 250000 outside protesting with no rioting or burning or looting.

I am 100 percent against what these people did. It’s what Antifa does. It’s what BLM does.

You want to wave flags and protest..Fine.

But this was insane.

There's plenty of time to chirp when all is said and done, RummyChick.

All is not said and done as of today's date.

Except I was right.

Does he bear responsibility for inciting with his nonsense as if he has PROOF of various deeds when in reality it looks like he was relying on the twitter user Johnheretohelp

No, he doesn’t bear responsibility.

Everyone is responsible for their own actions
