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.

No body should be in jail b/c of Jan 6.
COME BACK, PRESIDENT TRUMP!
I SURE MISS HIM
Go Trump! About time! Where are the rest of the Republicans? America First!
He certainly called out the Rats and malicious Rat prosecutors.
Keepin up the heat! Thanx Mr. President.
I like this man, Trump, more and more. He has guts, he has strength, he has conviction.
Lord, I miss our President. Shed some tears tonite watching this great man and his loving supporters.
Near the start of his speech he gave an inside joke: Who is Joe Bidan; anyone know who Joe Bidan is....? Misspelling intentional.
This was not the “last hurrah”.
This was the beginning of the First Crusade.
And, many of those jailed for minor offenses on Jan. 6th are being held in Solitary Confinement. Several plead guilty to minor offenses and have been remanded to Get Your Mind Right Marxist Propaganda sessions as a condition for their release.
A total sham by our Justice Department. Every American should be worried by this aggressive government power.
Just when you thought that political prisoners were only for communist countries that you realize that you’re in a communist country.
Who is Joe Bidan; anyone know who Joe Bidan is....? Misspelling intentional.
Rule of law? Equal justice? Due process? Of, for, by the people? Freedom and liberty? Pffft! It’s all evaporating under leftist control, globalism.
Disagree
Those who threw things at officers
This who smashed windows
Those who stole things
They should be in jail
...and this goes not only for every leftist rioter who burnt down cites it also goes for the leftists and FIB plants in D.C.on the sixth.
The grandmas who walked in the rope line after capital police opened the door? No, they shouldn’t be in jail
Go Trump go!
His keeping the pressure on the Democrats is the best thing ever.
