GOP Rep. Paul Gosar was slammed after praising Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by police while storming the Capitol on January 6.

In a tweet, Gosar wrote: "They took her life. They could not take her pride. #onemoreinthenameoflove."

The message paraphrased lyrics from the song "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2, which is about Martin Luther King Jr.

Babbit was one of five people who died after supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol.

2. Nice guy, Rep Paul Gosar (Rep - Dementia). I'm sure he would like to have a 1/6 investigation ...

... out of concern for the departed, right Congressman?

4. I just watched her getting shot on a. MSNBC special.

Her GQP pals kept the real police from helping to save her.

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Federal prosecutors have charged at least eight people who were in the crowd around Babbitt in the moments before she was shot. They include Christopher Ray Grider, a Texas winery owner who is accused of trying to kick in the Speaker’s Lobby doors; Zachary Jordan Alam, of Pennsylvania, who is accused of smashing the glass pane Babbitt attempted to crawl through; and Chad Barrett Jones, of Kentucky, who is accused of smashing another pane with a wood stick that had a Trump flag attached.

Authorities had suggested the possibility of bringing felony murder charges against rioters if Babbitt’s death was a foreseeable consequence of felony conduct by others, according to a person familiar with the matter. But they have since ruled out that possibility, given case law that allows such charges only in instances when an accomplice is responsible for a victim’s death, not a law enforcement officer.

D.C. police are required by law to identify officers involved in serious uses of force within five business days of an incident. They are also required to release video from body cameras of the officers directly involved. The law only applies to D.C. police. Capitol Police are not equipped with body cameras.
