[riversedge]

I agree with Adam Kinzinger --It is really hard for me that the military is doing this--but it seems they will do anything Trump tells them to do--and I do believe Trump told them to do this.
I guess is that Trump is be at the funeral giving himself credit. --wait and see.

If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.

The Air Force decided to extend military funeral honors to deceased Senior Airman Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by a police officer during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

The decision came after Air Force leadership during the Biden administration previously denied the request in February 2021, shortly after Babbitt was killed. The decision also comes on the heels of a wrongful death settlement reached in July, which resulted in the government paying the Babbitt family nearly $5 million.......................

1. The comanders of the Air Force don't have anything to say? Nobody in the military

is opposed to having armed troops deployed against the American people. There was one General Milley?

2. K&R

3. The family got $5,000,000!

4. Who says crime doesn't pay?

[B.See]

9. So does TREASON. When committed

in the name of THEIR god.

[kentuck]

6. Exactly!

Why would they want to change anything?

Trump used the payment as proof that the mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6th have been shown to be innocent and have been paid for the wrongs committed against them.

U.S. military funerals are traditionally reserved for actual heroes, not insurrectionists who attacked their own country’s capitol.

It was a few months ago when Donald Trump’s Justice Department reached a settlement with the family of Ashli Babbitt, the Jan. 6 rioter who was fatally shot by a police officer during the attack on the U.S. Capitol. As part of the agreement, the Republican administration announced plans to give roughly $5 million to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Babbitt’s relatives.

While this was impossible to defend given the weakness of the case — Thomas Manger, the outgoing chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, condemned the payment in no uncertain terms — it apparently was just part of a larger effort. As my MSNBC colleague Ja’han Jones explained:

The U.S. Air Force is planning to offer an official military funeral for deceased insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt, who was shot during the attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to documents released by a conservative nonprofit.

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, a war veteran who’s now estranged from the Republican Party, said in response to the news: “While her death is absolutely tragic and I wish it hadn’t happened, the Air Force giving her honors is in itself a dishonor.”.....

But in June 2021, Trump said that he saw Babbitt as an ally who was on his “side.” A month later, he said the rioter was “innocent.” A month after that, he accused the officer who shot her of being a “murderer.” In 2023, Trump condemned the cop as a “thug” and a “coward” who deserved to be vilified, and earlier this year, he inexplicably claimed that Babbitt was “shot for no reason whatsoever.”

Two months later, Trump claimed that Babbitt “was innocently standing there” and had possibly even tried to help law enforcement by “trying to sort of hold back the crowd” when she was shot.

It was as odious a lie as the president has ever told.

Nevertheless, it’s against this backdrop that his administration isn’t just giving Babbitt’s family millions of dollars, it’s also giving Babbitt a military funeral — traditionally reserved for actual heroes, not insurrectionists who attacked their own country’s capitol.
