An American story: A peace order was filed against Babbitt for harassment and stalking. On social media, she identified as a gun extremist and QAnon conspiracy theorist. Since her death, her husband has raised $375K through a Christian crowdfunding site 🤷‍♀️

WASHINGTON (AP) — The first time Celeste Norris laid eyes on Ashli Babbitt, the future insurrectionist had just rammed her vehicle three times with an SUV and was pounding on the window, challenging her to a fight.

Norris says the bad blood between them began in 2015, when Babbitt engaged in a monthslong extramarital affair with Norris’ longtime live-in boyfriend. When she learned of the relationship, Norris called Babbitt’s husband and told him she was cheating.

“She pulls up yelling and screaming,” Norris said in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, recounting the July 29, 2016, road-rage incident in Prince Frederick, Maryland. “It took me a good 30 seconds to figure out who she was. … Just all sorts of expletives, telling me to get out of the car, that she was going to beat my ass.”

Terrified and confused, Norris dialed 911 and waited for law enforcement. Babbitt was later charged with numerous misdemeanors.

The attack on Norris is an example of erratic and sometimes threatening behavior by Babbitt, who was shot by a police officer while at the vanguard of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Former President Donald Trump and his supporters have sought to portray her as a righteous martyr who was unjustly killed.

1. She seems sweet and not entitled at all. Nt

2. I saw all I ever needed to know right before she died

She was warned REPEATEDLY to NOT ENTER the restricted area. She participated in breaking the glass and then proceeded to climb into the compromised barrier WHILE KNOWING A GUN WAS DRAWN AND ON HER.

Play stupid games.
Win stupid prizes.
Have your stupidity celebrated by fellow right-wing morons.

Lather.
