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 dont support it.

Count me out on the lay siege on the Capitol crowd

I am not now nor have I ever been part of the crowd that believes in terrifying Congress and making them barricade behind police as the mob lays siege like wild men as they are trying to do their business.

What did YOUR plan of attack get you. NOTHING...and made it worse

.

“Insurrection” ???

When the 250000 unarmed Trump Supporters stood around, and stayed for a few hours, and then went home ?

If it was an ‘Insurrection’ it would still be occupied by 1000s still. Sorry No armed mob - a protest.

-

“Terrorism’ shrieked the demlefty media ...
A few dozen who look to include antifa types easily break into the Capitol Building (during highest security EVER).

-

“Violence” “Riot” ???

Pushing some barricades ? Standing around on the steps of the Capitol which they just walked upto ???


The demleft media glorified the antifa/blm arson/looting/assaults/rioting and labels this THE SAME .

Sane America should have all the proof they need about who is working against THE PEOPLE - propagandists labeling themselves journalists.
