Ain't No Roads Named After Her!

Ashli Babbitt died because of a lie and her actions on Jan. 6, 2021 were to violently overthrow the results of an election on behalf of Donald J. Trump.

You will never any roads, scholarships, bridges and schools named after this woman.

There may be a mural or a song from a far right extremist. Yeah, Forgiato Blow is most notorious for dedicating a song to this woman.

The Republicans continues to push the notion that Ashli Babbitt was denied justice.

The California woman along with thousands of Trump supporters unlawfully entered a restricted building, damaged property, stole property and violently attacked law enforcement. And even if she was unarmed, Babbitt was there to cause a violent insurrection.

"Nothing can stop us....they can try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours....dark to light...."

These are the words of a violent extremist.

Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd was justified in protecting the lives of Congress members and staffers. He saved the life of former vice president Mike Pence.

The conspiracy theories and racial attacks on Byrd are the latest of extreme political rhetoric found on X.

Yet, Congress wants to ban TikTok.

X is by far the worst when it comes to misinformation, state run propaganda and content not suitable for children.

Babbitt's attempt to climb through a shattered window beside a barricaded door into the Speaker's Lobby was thwarted when she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer. After a USCP emergency response team administered aid, Babbitt was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she died. The USCP deemed the shooting was "lawful and within Department policy" and "potentially saved Members (of Congress) and staff from serious injury and possible death".

The husband of Babbitt has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government for $30 million, according to court records released Friday.

Attorneys with Judicial Watch, a conservative legal activist group, filed the suit in California federal court on behalf of Aaron Babbitt and his estate for wrongful death, and assault and battery. 

His wife was shot and killed by law enforcement during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol when she tried to climb through a barricaded door near the House chamber.

The suit alleges that Byrd was negligent when he fired at Babbitt, a supporter of former President Trump.

“The facts speak truth. Ashli was ambushed when she was shot by Lt. Byrd,” the attorneys wrote, arguing that she traveled to Washington, D.C., only to attend Trump’s rally.

“Ashli did not go to Washington as part of a group or for any unlawful or nefarious purpose,” they wrote, claiming Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, “posed no threat to the safety of anyone.”
