The MAGA fanatic fatally shot by police at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, will receive a funeral with full military honors—a reversal made possible by an appointee of President Donald Trump.
Loved ones of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot as she crawled through a smashed window toward a U.S. Capitol Police officer, successfully lobbied the branch to reverse its years-old decision.
“After reviewing the circumstances of SrA Babbitt’s death, the Air Force has offered Military Funeral Honors to SrA Babbitt’s family,” an Air Force spokesperson told NBC News.
Babbitt, a retired senior airman, was 35 at the time of her death. Her family, along with many in MAGA, have contended that she was murdered by Lt. Michael Byrd, who fired a shot at her in self-defense as he tried to fend off a mob of Trump supporters.
