Why Are Dems Appeasing the Cop Who Killed Ashli Babbitt?
By Jack Cashill
Incredibly, U.S. Capitol Police captain Michael Byrd, the cop who shot J6 protester Ashli Babbitt, appears to have been extorting the Democrats for favors, including a promotion. Even more incredibly, leading House Democrats have obliged him. Much of this bizarre saga Rep. Barry Lourdermilk (R-GA) has documented in a detailed letter to U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) chief Thomas Manger.
What is undeniable is that Byrd shot and killed an unarmed woman of a different race. Undeniable, too, is that no police officer in recent memory has received anything like the treatment proffered to Byrd for a comparable shooting. Indeed, only in the DIE-infested miasma of the D.C. swamp does Byrd’s story make any sense at all.
In the way of background, Ashli Babbitt entered the Capitol alone on the Senate side through a broken window at 2:23 P.M. on January 6, 2021. Upon entering, Babbitt climbed over a velvet rope to honor the walking lane designated for visitors. She had less than 20 minutes left to live.
Still alone, Babbitt continued to explore the Capitol. At 2:36, citizen-journalist Tayler Hansen, camera rolling, followed her down a long, narrow corridor leading to the Speaker’s Lobby. Guarding the lobby doors were three USCP officers. A 14-year Air Force veteran with military police experience, Babbitt identified with the officers and joked with them.
