Ashli Babbitt’s killer has finally been named – and the Establishment want you to think he’s a hero who “saved countless lives”.
For eight months, the family of Ashli Babbitt was blocked from even knowing the name of her killer. For all those eight months, the Washington establishment and the mainstream media have pushed a string of knowing lies about what happened on that fateful day, January 6.
Now, they’re trying to top it all with a lie so monstrous that even a Soviet Commissar would blush.
Aaron Babbitt, Ashli’s husband, has been fighting for the name of his wife’s killer to be released since her death. After seven long months of fighting what they consider a cover-up, [Lawyer Terry Roberts] announced that Ashli Babbitt’s shooter was Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Leroy Byrd.
As many speculated during the eight months of secrecy, Byrd is black. Now, this shouldn’t matter. It certainly doesn’t make Byrd any more or less culpable. But it speaks volumes about the toxicity and the sheer hypocrisy of the left-establishment. Derek Chauvin was a household name almost the instant George Floyd stopped saying “I can’t breathe”. But Chauvin is white, his victim black.
When the racial roles are reversed, the establishment instantly closes ranks. Nothing to see here.
Critics say the identity of police officers in America who shoot unarmed victims is usually announced before the victim’s name had been authenticated. So why the need to keep him a secret?
“The U.S. Congress wants to protect this man. He’s got friends in high places, and they want to protect him,” believes Terry Roberts. He said the shooting and then the attempt to run cover for Ashli Babbitt’s killer is no “a proud moment for the U.S. Capitol Police or the U.S. Congress.”
Rumours that Byrd was the shooter abounded long before his name was publicly announced. In June Tucker Carlson speculated that Babbitt’s killer was the same officer who had left his loaded handgun in a public toilet. A gun which “did not have a safety mechanism to prevent it from being fired”.
It was.
But this is no reckless, trigger-happy klutz. Oh, no, this is a genuine American hero, folks.
Byrd went on NBC Nightly News to explain why he shot an unarmed American after giving no verbal warnings before firing. Byrd admitted in his interview that he was afraid of the 110 lb unarmed woman, and although she was unarmed and he could have physically restrained her if she made it through the door, killing her “saved countless lives.”
Babbitt was not armed. None of the protesters was, no matter what the lying media have tried to claim. There was no one else in sight in the corridor on Byrd’s side. There were heavily armed SWAT officers on the other side, surrounding Babbitt and the other protesters – none of whom had laid a finger on officers – who had felt no need to use their weapons.
Watch former cop Brandon Tatum’s step-by-step analysis of Babbit’s shooting and Byrd’s excuses, here:
The only video available of the shooting shows Byrd hiding in the vestibule with a loaded gun. Byrd had stated that he yelled to “please stop, get back, get back, stop.” Only one witness has backed up this statement. Many others claim they saw the gun and started informing others that the weapon was pointed at them right before the shot was fired.
“What made you pull the trigger?” Holt asks. “Last resort,” Byrd replies. “I tried to wait as long as I could . . . but their failure to comply required me to take the appropriate action . . .” The video shows he spent 14 seconds. That is how long he waited before he decided to kill Ashli Babbitt.
Tatum Report
Law professor Jonathan Turley has written that he doesn’t believe the shooting was justified. Retired LAPD officer Jack Dunphy describes Byrd, not as a hero, but “a long-serving middle manager of modest abilities, one who should be nowhere near any situation requiring split-second, life-and-death decisions.”
“It was a bad shooting, and no amount of spin can make it otherwise.”
