Trump on who shot Ashli Babbitt: "I've heard also that it was the head of security for a certain high official. A Democrat. It's gonna come out."

Maria Bartiromo strongly hints that someone associated with Chuck Schumer shot Ashli Babbitt. Completely irresponsible stuff.

That's what will eventually be the sixty-four thousand dollar question. Not that he shot and killed, not that he was the only one who shot and killed nor that he shot TO kill. The question will be "why" the lack of consistency or follow-through. I think it'll come out that his state of mind suffered an overload which overrode his training.

I fearlessly opine thus based on zilch.

I had an OP that day fairly early into the breach when we already had footage of officers being assaulted, stating that they needed to start shooting a few of those people or things were going to get exponentially worse. The OP did not survive but I stand by everything I said.

The cop carried out his protective duty honorably!

Who was President when Ashli went to her doom? Why didn't the President stop the insurrection? Instead, some poseur came out to tell the insurrectionists that he loved them and that they were very special people.

Y'all know there is extensive video from that day, right?

But I hope the officer is in a witness protection program.

Horseshit. She was shot trying to enter a secured area by climbing through a broken window. A secured area with a line of armed defenders explicitly demanding that no one enter the area.

It's somewhat chaotic, but they do show her trying to climb through the window in this video. You hear the shot and see her fall at a little bit past 2 minutes into the video.

Were they to big to fit through the broken window or did they expect the first one would be shot or captured and unable to unlock or clear the door?

The feminist in me suspects that those cowards used her to see how serious the guards and House Members were about resististing them.

so many questions.

And that's another definition of "Fox Noise": A nutshell. It shields the nuts of the QOP from ever hearing the truth.

They're pure propaganda now. No facts or truth shall ever escape the black hole of "Fox Noise".

That's the way the Trumpanzees roll. They're so eager to please their Golden Covfefe, they committ completely outlandish acts of violence, on the outside chance he may utter their name on "Fox Noise", and then become a new martyr for the QOP.

That's how empty and insane their lives have become in "Trumpy World".

... to get into the the Speaker's office in order to hurt her or other members of Congress in order
to stop the peaceful transfer of power. She was there because Trump invited her to come to D.C.
on 1/6/21 and go wild in order to "stop the steal." Her death is is on TFG, Fox News and other right
propaganda networks, and all those mouth breathing racists who broke into the Capitol on 1/6/21.

Ashli Babbitt's shooting was 100% justified and personally the Capitol Police would have been well
with in their rights to have shot more of the insurrectionist bastards.
