Former President Trump said Thursday that he “totally” disagrees with Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on the death of Ashli Babbitt, a Jan. 6 rioter who was shot and killed by Capitol Police.
After Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed on Tuesday that Babbitt had been murdered during the pro-Trump insurrection, McCarthy broke with the Georgia congresswoman, who has become one of his most important supporters within the Republican conference.
“I think the police officer did his job,” McCarthy told reporters when asked if he agreed with Greene’s take on Babbitt’s death.
Trump fired back in a post on Truth Social, claiming that the officer “was not just ‘doing his job’ when he shot and killed Great Patriot Ashli Babbitt at point blank range.”
“He was not a hero but a COWARD, who wanted to show how tough he was,” Trump added. “ASHLI BABBITT WAS MURDERED!!!”
Babbitt was attempting to climb through a shattered window into the Speaker’s gallery just off the House floor on Jan. 6, 2021, when she was fatally shot by Lt. Michael Byrd. Lawmakers were still being evacuated from the House chamber at the time.

Trump is RIGHT!!!!!
She was killed point blank... Trump is right.... Now I would wish he could do some research on free republic. And figure out that vaxx problem floating around....
.
McCarthy is a DC Insider who had to be dragged screaming to make agreement after agreement to Win the Speakership precisely because they knew what was actually was going to do after seizing power.
Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, Frank Luntz …
The P.O.(s) could have fired a warning shot but guess he knew he could get away with cold blooded murder.
Disgusting.
Imagine if the races were reversed
Absolutely - President Trump is RIGHT!!!
Good for Trump.
Is McCarthy’s true color showing through?
What about Miriam Carey? They actually were clapping and congratulating the D.C. police for shooting her five times in the back, and keeping the president, Obama, and HOR. She had her 18 month old son in the car with her. Where is the outrage?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Miriam_Carey
She was a unarmed protestor at a mostly peaceful protest who was cold bloodedly murdered by a cop.
Who ever said protests had to be polite?
Am I doing this right corporate media? Those are your words after all....
MTG or Trump MUST SHOW Kevin the VIDEO of COLD BLOODED MURDER!
For me the jury was out on McCarthy, I was willing to see if he not just another DC AHole. Well the jury came back and yep, he is.
Time to dump the RINOCRAT.
Vacate his ass.
McCarthy is an establishment guy, and will protect the status quo while at the same time giving lip service to change. The establishment and the deep state don’t won’t any talk of murder or collusion on their part with the Jan. 6 event. Attention might bring about a closer examination of what really happened, and they certainly don’t want that.
True that.
And there you have it - the first betrayal by McCarthy. Watch for many more to come.
