Sen. Ruben Gallego, Democrat of Arizona, will seek to block the Pentagon from offering full military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, a member of the crowd that rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Gallego, who has criticized the Pentagon for agreeing recently to provide Babbitt with an honorary military funeral, will attempt to pass legislation this week to prevent the honor from being conferred.

He told CBS News, his legislation "comes from a sense of patriotism, you know, as someone who served this country, as someone who unfortunately buried a lot of Marines with full military honors."

"The idea that they're giving this to a person who actively tried to overthrow the government, who was violent in nature, who knowingly was entering a restrictive zone while we were trying to conduct the safe passage of democracy, and the idea that they're just going to give this without a fight, it's just not going to happen," Gallego said.

He said he's noticed that top officials, the secretary of the Air Force, defense secretary, the vice president and president have "never even said this," and "they just kind of have been trying to sneak this in under — in the dark."

1. 'She received an 'honorable discharge' from the AirForce.

Then she went on to dishonor her oath, her fellow service men, women and America. She betrayed the country she swore to defend.

2. Exactly. She was a pos

But magats live to align themselves with traitors & losers, hence their great love of Civil War confederates.

Boggles my mind.

3. They are all pathetic.

They love traitors because they are all traitors themselves.

She wAs a TRAITOR!!!!

[Warpy]

15. Good. Apparently her service record was far from the best

and she sold out the constitution and her country in slavish devotion to one man once that service was over.

While I'm fine with anyone who chose to serve, badly or not, with being interred in a military cemetery, the "full military honors" thing is out of line for someone who later became a traitor.

So plant her, give her a headstone, let a preacher send her off to glory, but no gun salute, flyover, or other trappings of a life lived honorably.

MAGAts want to make some sort of heroine out of the woman, but that is one thing she was decidedly not.

(plink, plink)

17. Good! That POS already got what she deserved!

19. Ashli Babbitt is not that. She is a traitor. She will be a traitor. She died a traitor."
