Maria Bartiromo describes Ashli Babbitt as “a wonderful woman, fatally shot on January 6th as she tried to climb out of a broken window.”

Ashli Babbitt was trying to climb *into* a broken window, to attack Congress and VP Pence.

Bartiromo says she “went to peaceful protest.”

in order to disrupt Congress and possibly capture and lynch the Vice President. An officer with a gun was clearly visible and the mob was warned to get back.

Peaceful protester, my fat pink ass.

Lethal force authorized areas. Especially, with respect to the Air Force.

A better question would be why wasn't Trump rushed to the bunker during an armed insurrection?

OK to shoot a black kid out of his neighborhood or something, but a violent traitor attacking the US Capitol is supposed to get treated politely. She was a member of the military, she should’ve been treated even more harshly

I worked for a hedge fund manager and this guy came out from NY to visit. He saw Maria on T V and said she was known for her bj’s to get access to Wall Street guys on her show. I was shocked and at the time offended, not so much anymore. I heard it several times from different men who came in the office and saw her on tv.

He probably has his knee pads mounted on the wall of his dressing room, in case he needs them again.

they would be asking drumpf if he regretted the lies he told that inspired Babbitt to betray her country. HIS WORDS radicalized her into a terrorist. And we must sit here and watch history, captured on video, rewritten before our very eyes.

I was at her house watching CNBC, and I told Mom that I thought Bartiromo was cute and so nice. Mom watched her for about a minute and then snapped, "She's neither to me!"

it first went from the rioters being antifa in disguise to make trump look bad, to the insurrection being really no big deal, and now to the attack being justified and poor Ashli Babbit was an innocent victim and is now a martyr.

They have to get their bullshit straight and have everyone on the same page.

Babbitt is responsible for her own death.
Trump is guilty of arranging the circumstances of her death.
Fox News propagandized her with lies. They pushed Babbitt into the ring.

We KNOW all this. We have lots of video of all of it happening in broad daylight.

This man, this party, this propaganda channel, all need to be taken down. Many more will die until that happens. When Mo Brooks delivers messages like the Hitleresh message he delivered yesterday, the FBI and Homeland Security need to be there to take him away.
