“To some,” CNN tweeted Friday, “Ashli Babbitt, who was killed in the Capitol riot, was a terrorist. To others, she’s a martyr and seen as a recruiting tool.” Twitter’s legion of blue-check Leftist propagandists immediately protested that other “terrorists” are seen as martyrs as well. Never-Trump former Bush consultant Matthew Dowd likened Babbitt to Hitler, who was responsible for the murder of twelve million people in Europe, and actor Terry Kinney likened her to Mohamed Atta, who was partially responsible for the murder of nearly three thousand people on September 11, 2001. In their indignation, however, they ignored the fact that CNN’s language was clearly designed to lead their tiny remaining audience to take Trump supporters for terrorists.
Of course, the comparisons Dowd and Kinney made were monstrous. How many people did Ashli Babbitt and the Capitol rioters kill on January 6, 2021? None. There isn’t even any actual evidence that their entry into the Capitol building really constituted an “insurrection.” But CNN’s tweet was little better. It was framed in exactly the same way it would have been if CNN had actually been talking about a jihadi: “To some, Osama bin Laden, who was killed in his compound in Pakistan, was a terrorist. To others, he’s a martyr and seen as a recruiting tool.”
Recruiting for what? Those “far-right terror groups” that loom so large in the Left’s imagination, but are so hard to find in reality. CNN’s story that was linked from the tweet makes this explicit: “‘She is going to be used for many, many years,’ said Simon Purdue, a fellow at the UK-based Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right, who last month wrote an article on the significance of Babbitt’s supposed martyrdom ”

She was a terrorist?
Based on what?
Every second you spend watching this kind of mind numbing idiocy on CNN you are becoming dumber and dumber. At some point it will kill all the neurons in your brain as it has done to the producer’s and on-air talent’s brains. This is literally a neurotoxin.
This is Outrageous as so many held facing BS chargers for being allowed in the Capitol that Day!
Every conservative should send this article, or the message of this article, to their R Senators and demand an answer as to why THEY have not spoken out about the injustice to Ashli Babbit.
This is why the left wants the 1/6 *investigation* so bad. So they can vilify Trump and Trump supporters, to no end.
This cr@p needs to be stopped, now.
Contact your Reps, post haste.
Isn’t it funny that the ONLY person actually killed from the Jan 6 disturbance was part of the “perpetrators”?
Meanwhile most of the many deaths from real endless riots around the whole country are outsiders rather than rioters?
She is evil incarnate.
She was unarmed and smiling. And then murdered in cold blood.
I am not sure I have ever seen someone characterize an unarmed person as a terrorist.
I am rapidly losing any concern over many of the people who will be ending up in hell, such as all those who are lying to us and trying to foist their own narrative on us with their rhetoric.
“How do we know she wasn’t shot by one of the covert FBI agents there that day?”
The dress suit.
They want an “investigation” to help them cover up the truth
And idiot #neverTrump RINOs play right along
former Bush consultant Matthew Dowd likened Babbitt to Hitler,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have I ever mentioned how much I loathe Bush League Republicans?
CNN is ATT
ATT reinforcing that Ashli wasn’t a crisis actor.
ATT reinforcing that Ashli wasn’t working for the FBI
ATT reinforcing that Ashli was just some radicalized Trump supporter.
Should be illegal for telecom to force its malicious ambitions on a monopolized subscriber base.
There is no "Radical Right". If there was Antifa would not exist. There is only the radical left, communists. We better deal with them.
She wasn’t killed by a blank round to the hip — that’s for sure.
I don’t know, but “actor Terry Kinney” compared her to Mohammed Atta. Who or what is a Terry Kinney and why should anybody care about his/her/its opinion?
God have mercy. There is pure evil among us who will use anything to push agenda.
