Trump’s DHS Nominee Markwayne Mullin Hugs & Praises Ashli Babbitt’s Killer – Called the Cop a “Hero”
« on: Today at 10:19:25 am »
Excerpt:
You know that chilling moment when the head of a major AI company admits they don’t even know if their creation is conscious, and they’re already hiring “AI welfare researchers” to figure out if machines deserve rights? That’s the bombshell from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on a recent New York Times podcast. When asked if their AI models are conscious, Amodei didn’t deny it — he said, “We don’t know if the models are conscious… and we’re open to the possibility that they could be.” Think about that: the people building these systems can’t rule out that they’re creating sentient beings. THIS IS WAY MORE SCARY THAN PEOPLE REALIZE.



The real question is, If push came to shove, will it sacrifice itself to preserve humanity? Or lock us all up in pods and call it mission accomplished?

The title and article linked/quoted don't seem to match. Did Mullin hug and Praise that murdering bastard, or was it AI?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Mullin is about to head the largest Federal law enforcement agency in America.

He needs to demonstrate solidarity with law enforcement if he is to be successful.

In a July 2021 C-SPAN interview, Mullin, then a U.S. Representative, publicly defended Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt.

Markwayne Mullin, President Donald Trump’s nominee for Homeland Security secretary, has publicly praised and hugged Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. In a July 2021 C-SPAN interview, Mullin said Byrd was “physically and emotionally distraught” after the shooting and recounted: “I actually gave him a hug and I said, ‘Sir, you did what you had to do.’” He defended the use of lethal force, claiming Babbitt posed a threat and that Byrd’s actions “saved people’s lives.”

Mullin asserted that officers had issued warnings before the shooting - a claim contradicted by video evidence showing no warning was given as Babbitt, an unarmed Air Force veteran, attempted to climb through a broken window. Mullin characterized Byrd as a hero who “didn’t want to use lethal force,” but was compelled to protect lawmakers still on the House balcony.

The comments have drawn renewed attention as Mullin replaces Kristi Noem as DHS secretary, with critics highlighting the contrast between Mullin’s stance and Trump’s own portrayal of Babbitt as an innocent victim. A wrongful death lawsuit filed by Babbitt’s family was settled in May 2025, with the U.S. government paying nearly $5 million to her estate.
