Air Force to provide funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt

The U.S. Air Force will provide Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt with military funeral honors, reversing a Biden-era decision that denied her family’s request, according to a legal group that has represented her family.

Judicial Watch, the conservative legal group, on Wednesday made public a letter from Under Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Lohmeier, extending an offer to allow the special funeral procedures to take place.


“I understand that the family’s initial request was denied by Air Force leadership in a letter dated February 9, 2021,” Lohmeier wrote in the Aug. 15 letter shared by Judicial Watch. “However, after reviewing the circumstances of Ashli’s death, and considering the information that has come forward since then, I am persuaded that the previous determination was incorrect.”

That takes care of honoring a vet maliciously killed, but what about the living person who killed her still roaming free on this earth?

When will he be arrested?

Democrat Ruben Gallego Files Legislation to Block Military Funeral Honors for Ashli Babbitt

Sean Moran 10 Sep 2025

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is hoping to block the Defense Department from offering military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, a veteran and January 6 protester shot and killed by a police officer during the protests.

Gallego has attacked the Department of Defense (DOD) for agreeing to provide Babbitt with an honorary military funeral and now hopes to pass legislation that would bar the funeral from being carried out.

Gallego said his bill “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,” he added.

“I’m gonna put people on the record to make sure that we know who stood with your traitor, Ashli Babbitt,” Gallego said.

On Aug. 15, 2025, Under Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Lohmeier announced the decision to grant Babbitt military funeral honors.

In a letter to the Babbitt family posted by Judicial Watch, Lohmeier stated, “After reviewing the circumstances of Ashli’s death, and considering the information that has come forward since then, I am persuaded that the previous determination was incorrect.”

“On behalf of the Secretary of the Air Force, I write to extend the offer for Military Funeral Honors for SrA Ashli Babbitt,” the letter stated.

Gallegos’ resolution claims that Babbitt does not deserve the military funeral because Babbitt “attempted to force her way inside by climbing through the door’s broken window, where a Capitol Police Officer intervened to protect dozens of House members and staff cornered nearby.”

“Ashli Babbitt’s actions on January 6, 2021, constitute disqualifying conduct under section 985 of 4 title 10, United States Code, the rendering of military funeral honors to her would bring discredit upon the Air Force, and she is not eligible for such honors,” the resolution continued.

His comments border on slander, if they do not pass over that line.
