Tucker Carlson Accuses Media, Feds of Protecting Officer Who Shot Ashli Babbitt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday claimed that the media and federal authorities were unfairly protecting the Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt.

During the Wednesday night edition of Tucker Carlson Tonight, Carlson questioned why the name of the Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Babbitt remained unreleased while the name of the former Brooklyn Center, Minnesota officer who fatally shot Daunte Wright on Sunday was quickly released. The U.S. Capitol Police is a federal law enforcement agency, while the local Brooklyn Center Police Department handles its affairs independently.

"We have a right to know who shot Ashli Babbitt and why," Carlson said. "No one will tell us. The Biden administration says the man who killed Babbitt is a Capitol Hill police officer and he did the right thing... If you shoot people without warning because they're in the wrong place, that's not allowed. But apparently now it is allowed."

Babbitt, 35, was shot and killed while attempting to climb through the broken window of a door inside the Capitol building on January 6. An unnamed officer shot Babbitt after "clearly identifying himself and ordering the mob not to come through the barricade," his attorney Mark Schamel said on Wednesday, according to The Associated Press. On the same day, the Department of Justice announced that months of investigation had "determined that there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution" of the officer.
