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.

I’m just curious why she thought getting that close to the White House and trying to get inside was a good idea. It’s not surprising that they reacted with lethal force, especially after all of the riots throughout the year. You can’t tell at a glance if someone is intending harm or not, particularly when they’re trying to make their way into a building that is under heavy guard.
It’s so sad, and we clearly lost someone who loved their country. I feel horrible for her family.
If our elections were trustworthy and these judges actually took the evidence of fraud into consideration, she would still be alive.
Unfortunately, all is said and done.
After the siege, everyone caved.
It’s over.
Now Trump has to come up with an exit plan.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”Our Republic has been destroyed by the Democrats and you are squimish about storming the capital?
― Samuel Adams
The fact that your garbage is allowed to be posted on FR is why I never donate. Absolutely disgusting.
I thought it was the Capital Building. And from the video they were allowing people to walk around the floor aimlessly so I don’t understand what the big problem with her was.
I 100% do not believe in what happened today.
I don’t really think Trump is either. I think what he wanted was a massive sign of support with people on the steps waving their flags.
He did not want an Antifa style siege.
I can’t believe people here are supporting that kind of thing...but hey Don’t put me on the list, FBI.
As you celebrate.
Celebrate???
What I saw today sickened me.
Plus, I had to listen to the media while I watched it blaming it all on Trump.
This is NOT what Trump wanted and the people HERE who claim it is acceptable and what he would have wanted are just nuts
Well said.
I bet she was unarmed
Go to hell!!!!!!
Good possibility you are right
But when you are storming the Capital trying to get into a barricaded room there is no way for the Police to know that.
In the words of that great American satirist Bugs Bunny, “Shaddup, you ignorant maroon.”
Crispus Attucks (c.1723 – March 5, 1770) was an American stevedore of African and Native American descent, widely regarded as the first person killed in the Boston Massacre and thus the first American killed in the American Revolution.

america was shot at today
Yep. I realized that after reviewing her past comments.
Just another Swamp Toad in the pool.
You just know that she was Antifa. Her MAGA hat was on backwards...//sarcasm
RummyChick is a Swamp Toad. Best to leave her alone to avoid getting warts from contact with her.
She served her country in uniform.
moron.
