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.
Arizona House Rep. Paul Gosar (R) pressed President Trump’s former acting US Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen for answers on the death of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot in cold blood by a DC police officer on January 6.
“Say her name.” That cry from Black Lives Matter and other anti-police activists has been a call to action to memorialize victims and mobilize mobs against police shootings — and yet the name of Ashli Babbitt has not passed their lips.
Ashli Babbitt’s family is planning to sue the U.S. Capitol Police Department and the officer who shot and killed Babbitt during the incursion of the Capitol on Jan. 6, their attorney announced Thursday.
The family of Ashli Babbitt, the only person shot during the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, plans to sue the police department and the officer who fired the gun for at least $10 million, their attorney said.
