A conspiracy-spouting extremist or a patriotic martyr? Ashli Babbitt, who was shot dead a year ago during the invasion of the US Capitol, is a Rorschach test for the deep political fault line that runs through the United States.
An Air Force veteran who served in Iraq and voted for America's first Black president, Babbitt died wrapped in a flag bearing the name of Donald Trump, the populist billionaire who still insists he won an election that he lost by a wide margin.
Her journey of radical transformation mirrors that of many of the supporters of the real estate tycoon, who, on January 6, 2021, was desperately seeking to preserve his divisive presidency.
That day, Congress was gathering to certify the election of Joe Biden as 46th president of the United States.
Speaking to a large crowd near the White House, an angry Trump once again told supporters the election had been "stolen" and encouraged them to march on Congress.
Babbitt was among the first of hundreds of people to breach the Capitol building's security, as elected officials barricaded themselves in rooms, cowering from an angry mob.
In footage filmed by one of the intruders, the 35-year-old can be seen trying to get through a broken window.
"Go! Come on!" she shouts, encouraging those behind her to hoist her in.
As her head appears through the window, a Capitol police officer fires his weapon, striking Babbitt in the shoulder. She would die from her injuries.

It’s really something to see the entire media line up and follow the narrative. All at once, this is everywhere. Top trending twitter, news.. Man.
Proving they’ve been willfully ignoring her until now. Idiots.
BTW now Trump lost by a “wide margin”? Leftist revisionism one page at a time.

This article is full of lies, not worth a read. Just the fake news media continuing their brainwashing effort.
They’re the French press right? Explains a lot
Dear Laurent,
We Don’t Believe You About Anything Anymore.
Have a nice day.
Vote counting process produced fraudulent totals by a wide margin.
National, local, and social media restricted access to one party via censorship and corruption by a wide margin. Fixed it.
But not without revealing what a leftist piece of trash that AFP is. AFP is nothing but AP/NYT in Frogland....
So far today I’ve learned she attacked her ex’s girlfriend and went from honorable vet to “radicalized” Trump supporter. My, how the Left does like that nuts-and-sluts narrative. *Spit*
What are the lies?
The popular vote total delta of the 2020 election can be explain by two very corrupt states - CA and NY. The margin in votes that made the difference in the electoral vote count, which is the only thing that matters, was razor thin.
AFP is the Agence France-Press, which is the French government funded news agency that writes and controls much of the news read by French citizens.
AFP named best news agency for second consecutive year AFP's video production triumphs again at the AIB Media Awards 2021

Second hit piece on Ashli Babbitt today. What is going on?
“In footage filmed by one of the intruders, the 35-year-old can be seen trying to get through a broken window.”
This is a bald faced lie.

Now we see how our journalism education system works. Journalists go to college, they learn politics, socialist theory, no history or mathematics and the basics of spelling and punctuation.
Now they are fully trained to report their leaders talking points, and only the CORRECT and APPROVED talking points. That is the only way I can explain why all reporting is identical and totally lacking logic or any connection between real facts.
