A spokesperson for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned former President Donald Trump’s recent statement threatening the officer who shot Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt and called on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to stand up to Republicans who continue to attack members of law enforcement who fought to protect the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
“Enough is enough,” wrote Robyn Patterson, Pelosi’s deputy communications director, in a statement Thursday. “These attacks are disgusting, wrong and a wholly unacceptable way to treat the men and women who went through hell to protect our democracy from armed insurrectionists.”
Patterson was responding to a statement issued by Trump on Wednesday, in which he claimed that Babbitt, an Air Force veteran who was shot while trying to climb through the broken window of a door to the Speaker’s Lobby inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, was “murdered.”
“We know who he is,” Trump said of the U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot Babbitt. “The Radical Left haters cannot be allowed to get away with this. There must be justice!"
**SNIP**
She was almost immediately embraced as a martyr by the far-right.
In April, the Justice Department announced that its investigation into Babbitt’s death found insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution against the U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot her. Despite this, prominent Republicans, including Trump, have continued to promote the narrative that Babbitt was an innocent victim and patriot whose death was politically motivated. At a House Oversight Committee hearing in June, for example, Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., suggested that Babbitt had been “executed” and claimed that “the Capitol Police officer that did this shooting appeared to be hiding, lying in wait and then gave no warning before killing her.”

Just like Ashli?
The person who murdered Ashli is a democrat party soldier.
Is this Marxist bimbo trying for a Emmy or some other kind of Hollywicked award?
Robyn doth protests too much.
She persists on using the lie that this was an insurrection.
She knows it’s a lie.
How do you sleep at night, Robyn? How do you look at yourself in the mirror?
“...armed insurrectionists...”
Who was “armed”????
But to be fair it must be acknowledged that Ashli Babbitt,an honorably discharged Air Force veteran,was armed with a backpack.
An armed insurrection? The Amazon Compost would even give that 4 Pinocchios.
Woman, you have no idea about either going through "hell" (temporal or eternal) or about "armed insurrectionists".
Pray that you do not become personally educated about either.
My God, these people would sell their dead mother's soul to the devil for the party!!! Disgusting!!!
I was reading a book on Pol Pot and there was a photo of two protesters shot dead, it caused me to think of Ashli.
We’re not really so far from all that. (revolution before Pol Pot)
Compare to the martyr of the left: George Floyd.
who went through hell
/\

Would that be the same ones who
Removed barriers ?
Opened electronically locked doors?
Waved people in?
Led folks and directed folks where to go?
Posed, smileing, with folks for selfies?
Fist bumped folks?
Shot an unarmed woman?
Those men and women?
What “ hell” ?
Liar.
Pathological liar !!!
Filthy dog face pony soldier liar !
“Robyn Patterson, Pelosi’s deputy communications director, in a statement Thursday. “These attacks are disgusting, wrong and a wholly unacceptable way to treat the men and women who went through hell to protect our democracy”
Hey, Robyn: did you also say this about the dip who murdered Ashli?
The 1/6ers are all pleading guilty to jaywalking inside the capitol. There was no “insurrection.”
So, calling for justice for a murderer in unacceptable to DemonRat socialists.
“..Liar.
Pathological liar !!!
Filthy dog face pony soldier liar!...”
Would anyone with a sane mine expect anything less from the vile, demonic Botoxian? Really? Can one say; pure evil manifested in the flesh? Thought so.
Demons always lie, especially to protect one of their own. The Botoxian is one of Satan’s finest in this day and hour. They’re all in the image of their Big Daddy; they’ve come to steal, kill and destroy.
So far, they’ve done a damn fine job of it too.
We have no way of knowing what was on her mind as she lay there dying, but I wonder if it weren’t, “I have only one life to give for my country . . . I died for a cause!”
Most of them did have arms as I could see in the videos. I didn’t see a lot of amputees in the crowd. A little word meaning jujitsu for the media to print it without being technically wrong…
ALL DemonRats are PURE EVIL!!!!
Mo.
Could she have veem artrested for trespassing and physically subdued?
Yes, without a doubt. Many uniforms were concurrently about her, within reach, including the shooter.
Was she warned of being shot, saying "Halt, stop, or I will shoot!"? No.
Was excessive force used?
Yes, far more than necessary.
Were the surrounding uniforms or other civilians endangered?
Yes.
**********
The shooter could and should have been detained, recorded, charged, and publicly identified. There was no valid purpose not to immediately sequester, charge, and investigate him; especially as to his motive for abrogating well-known S. O. P. for lawful detention of a person committing an infraction.
Sis she break the window?
No.
Was the person who broke the window immediately arrested and charged?
No.
Was this scenario a pre-planned event?
That is obviously a matter to be investigated, is it not?
********
This is a central event that should be examined as closely as was the shooting of John F. Kennedy, for instance; or more to the point, that of Rep. Steve Scalise in reference to this shooter.
I believe that this shooter should have been detained, charged, and put to the close scrutiny of a courtroom and jurors, who would be very interested in the key element of every homicide investigation, and that is MOTIVE.
Should not this shooter be placed under the burden of proving a legitimate purpose and motive as was Derek Chauvin? Eh?
