Former president Donald Trump praised the woman who was shot and killed during the January 6 riot at the Capitol as a "truly incredible person" in a video message played at a memorial event on what would have been the 36-year-old's birthday.
Trump issued a message of support for Ashli Babbitt, an Air Force veteran and advocate of the QAnon conspiracy theory, while calling for the Department of Justice to reopen an investigation into her shooting by Capitol police officer Michael Byrd.
The clip of Trump addressing the small crowd at the "Texas Loves Ashli Babbitt" event on Sunday was posted on Twitter by News2Share's Ford Fischer, who live streamed the entire ceremony.

“On that horrible day of January 6, Ashli arrived at the United States Capitol, she was shot and tragically killed. Today would have been her birthday, happy birthday Ashli.
“There is no reason Ashli should have lost her life that day. We must all demand justice for Ashli and her family,” Trump added.
“So on this solemn occasion as we celebrate her life, we renew our calls for a fair and non-partisan investigation into the death of Ashli Babbitt.
BOOM!
A real travesty is that her death ever happened. More so that her killer is scott free while the truly peaceful people who were there expressing their opinion on the still unresolved election theft of 2020 are still jailed.
Shame on Brandon.
LOL! Non-partisan?
Unarmed, crawling through a small window. No violence to anyone. Not warned. No attempt to deal with the threat without lethal force. Just shot in cold blood. I watch officer after officer get investigated and maligned when they have someone who fails to follow commands and has a lethal weapon. In addition, nobody shot armed black panthers when they stormed the building in the 60’s. Unequal justice, base on politics, is always a recipe for future disasters.

Donald Trump Sends Birthday Video Demanding ‘Justice’ For Ashli Babbitt Over 1/6 Death

Pretty said that we have to ask for what Biden's DOJ would never do, a non-partisan investigation.
So, what's so "LOL" funny?
IMO, this crowd had every right to be angry and march on the Capitol. I, too, hate what Biden and the Rats did and I want them outta there ASAP. This crowd apparently made its way into the Capitol building and the woman was climbing through a broken window.
However, from what I’ve seen, I can’t blame this cop for what he did. I could see how this police officer assigned to protect people inside the building, was dealing what he considered to be an exigent circumstance. Breaking and entering into a building brings an allowance for a heightened response. She should have known she was taking a big risk by entering through that broken glass window.
Let the flaming begin.
LOL! Let’s go Brandon is our new rallying cry!
I am very happy that the president thought of her today. For all the “mean tweets,”he seems like a genuinely kind person.
That’s OUR capital..we have EVERY right to be there..go inside, see what is going on. When Kavanaugh was having his hearings, and you had crazed left wing loons throwing their period blood on the walls, no one said a word..that was “Democracy in action” but a bunch of patriots who are pissed about the election being stolen from them, going into the capital, walking around, not committing any crime..they are called “Terrorists”
No flames from me. I understand your point.
Wait a second. The capitol as a public facility is still guarded and screened for the safety for those inside, just like a courtroom is.
>>We must all demand justice for Ashli and her family,”<<
Justice has become an embarrassing policy in the US especially in view of the 2020 election process.
I also with agree with Trump that this should be reopened and full investigation made. If was no wrongdoing, then they have nothing to hide.
The Left is so paranoid and are such liars that even then when they may not have actually lied, cheated, stole, or killed, they run anyway.
“The wicked flee when no man pursues.” Proverbs 28:1.
They didn’t break in. The cops unlocked and opened the magnetic doors to let them in.
Real justice, not the kind that Justine Damond got.
OK, well, did the cop inside know that?
Trump is right - there should be a fair and open investigation to bring our the facts of the case that I’m sure many of us don’t know about.
Was she armed???
Did she threaten anyone???
Did she address the cop who shot in a threatening or hostile manner???
Was she aggressive toward anyone??? Toward the cop???
Did she put the cop into a life threatening position???
From what I've read many times, he's surprisingly soft-spoken, mellow, and kind in person.
