At his campaign style speech in Sarasota, Florida, 45th President Donald Trump mentioned Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force Veteran slain on January 6, for the first time publicly.
President Trump revealed that he met with Babbitt’s grieving family, and also asked why so many January 6 protesters are still in jail, and slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for refusing to fight for them.
While discussing “weak” Republican leaders like McConnell, President Trump suddenly changed the subject. “And by the way, who shot Ashli Babbitt? Who shot AShli Babbitt? Who? Who shot Ashli Babbitt? We all saw the hand, we saw the gun,” said President Trump. “I spoke to her mother the other day, an incredible woman, she’s just devastated, like it happened yesterday, devastated.”
President Trump added, “You know, if that were on the other side, the person that did the shooting would be strung up and hung. Now they don’t want to give the name, they don’t want to give, but people know the name, people know where he came from, and it’s a terrible thing. Right, shot, boom, there was no reason for it. Who shot Ashli Babbitt? It’s got to be released.”
President Trump then turned the subject to the January 6 protesters who are still in jail, awaiting trial, almost 7 months since the mostly peaceful protests saw grieved Americans and militia members storm the Capitol Building, committing minor trespassing offense and inexpensive acts of vandalism in the process.
“And how come so many people are still in jail over January 6 when nobody paid the price for the fire and carnage and death that took place in Democrat run cities throughout our country, including Antifa, and BLM? How come, how come?” ....

What was the point, then? I don't get it. If he said "Bi-dumb", I'd get it. Or "bye-done". (Or Bye-Don", which is what happened, because he never bothered to secure the elections, knowing they'd cheat, but that's another story)
Political prisoners are but one byproduct of a coup d’état. Click my screen name for a brief recap of our recent coup.
What the Hell did you want him to do?
The party-crashers are in jail because the Republican Party loves spirit-cooking, child sacrifices, and cocaine-and-adrenochrome parties as much as their Democrat pals do.
“Where are the rest of the Republicans?”
I would think that the Republican politicians, being the opportunists that they are, would be using this issue to raise funds and suck up to their base. Even if they weren’t sincere, it would be an opportunity to show that they care.
But no. They are cowards above all else. Political expediency. No establishment Republican wants to rock the boat. There are a handful of Republicans who are fighters. The rest are pathetic.
who Jao Bai Din is…? Fixed it.
I believe Trump does know. He even said tonight something like, "I think we all know".
He really stuck his neck out for them, didn’t he? He could have helped them when he was POTUS.
Right, thanks, I should have expanded to: but not *still* in jail, especially while Ashli Babbit’s killer walks free.
Yes, those who assaulted the police and National Guard should pay the price.
All of the others were merely exercising their 1st Amendment rights and should be released. Those should also have the right to sue the government for illegal detention.
**with all due respect Mr. Ex-President, YOU should know who shot ashley babbit. You were the president then. Why didn’t you find out if you cared about it so much? Did Jaaaaaaaaaarrred! tell you not to bother?**
Yeah Einstein, he could have demanded that Billy Barr and his deep state doj/fib get on that. They would have found out by sundown Jan. 7th 2024. /s
I saw a list of 532 people and dozens were arrested on grounds of “curfew violation” since they slapped a 6 pm curfew on Washington DC suddenly on January 6th.
Nothing violent there.
~Easy
The killer who shot Ashli Babbitt IS KNOWN! Those who hide his name are as guilty as he, name the killer or we have no justice system. Does anyone think that we have an honest Justice System?
Think, “William P. Barr,” I rest my case!!!!!!!!
That no good bastard will be paid, for life, for NOT DOING HIS JOB!
It’s about time Mr. President. Those are good questions that should be answered post haste.
“Yeah, he was the President who was busy fighting election fraud and watching his presidency get stolen.
What the Hell did you want him to do?”
And fighting another fake impeachment and getting backstabbed by his whole adminsitration and his own party.
They were arrested AFTER he left office. What’s wrong with all these second guessers and armchair quarterbacks?
Xio BuyDUNG
but, Trump has said before that Biden is Shot.
Spelling intentional.
um... because you didn’t PARDON them before you left office!
