Terrorist shot in attempt to overthrow the government.

She was a traitor not a patriot, she had what she was looking for.

Welp here we go. Gonna beat this story like a dead horse and stretch it like taffy for weeks 🤦🏾‍♀️

Ashli Babbitt turned traitor and got what she deserved.

People watch this video and learn the TRUTH! The election WAS rigged and Trump did NOT incite violence!

She was not a patriot, she was a insurrectionist.

Excellent patriot? 😂🤷‍♂️

Just because you were a veteran does not make you a patriot. I do feel sad for her grandad.

No she was not a patriot. She was participating in insurrection, and the military would have court marshaled her.

She was no Patriot

This wouldn’t have happened if she would have simply complied with the requests of law enforcement, good lesson to be learned here.

A patriot is loyal to our Constitution not a President

Nah girl, she dumb as rocks. And clearly not an effective combat veteran...

“I remember a sweet kind little girl who loved puppies but my memory isn’t so good anymore.” Grandpa Babbit

She fucked around and found out. 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I mean..her family should ask this...what was she planning to do when she got past the doors that were blocked..ask for an autograph..no she was there to hurt someone

Nothing is more symbolic of how little Trump cares about his followers than the fact that he said “I’ll be there with you” and then retreated to the White House. He couldn’t give two f*cks about these people & that just encapsulates it so perfectly. They’re useful trash to him.

Babbit Maga was ex military - show the other ex military - they all brought zip ties to tie up Pence ALESHI babbit died with her Maga hat and her Trump flag and house Republicans quickly called her Antifla cause they feared losing donors over this Maga insurrection

Terrorist

....her tweets were radically subversive and she opened to attack the govt trying to enter the chamber with an weapon ... that's not patriotic... she'd been indoctrinated with Trump white supremacist propaganda

Don’t care. Stop humanizing them. They are TREASONOUS TERRORISTS .

She was a terrorist and you should delete this. No one cares about the fascist's grandpa.

She’s dead because she put her sour grapes politics and cultist, insurrectionist instincts above the welfare of our nation, her family, and even her own child. There is NO defense for what she did.

TERRORIST plain and simple she was not a good person she was evil spawn from your DNA.....

Even her papaw knew she was delusional.

And the trump family are accusing her of being part of “antifa” and not one of their supporters. So see she died for a man that throws her under the bus for HIS cause! She was NOT a hero or a martyr she was a DOMESTIC TERRORIST!

So why didn't they just put her in handcuffs and arrest her ? She was unarmed and surrounded by police Why didn't her life matter ?

Well,well,well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions

So it’s just a hunting gameuntil someone gets killed?

Did ABC fully review her work record and put it in into this report NO!

Sad he did not and cannot see the domestic terrorist she became. By continuing to leave out accurate descriptions of the MAGAts as Terrorists only further reinforces the naïveté, denialism, and delusions of these monsters and their families.

Sorry for your loss but there is absolutely nothing whatsoever patriotic about terrorizing your own Capitol and own fellow Americans for any reason, let alone over election results

This woman was a traitor who was radicalized by MAGA. Stop with this reframing. She deserves to be stripped of her rank and military honors. And stop interviewing her complicit family. Shame on you ABC. This woman was not an innocent victim of police brutality

It is sad when people get lead in the wrong direction and make poor and illegal and dangerous choices. Prayers for all the families that lost loved ones.

AT THE END IF THE DAY SHE BROKE THE LAW ALTHOUGH NO ONE SHOULD HAVE DIED FOR INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP. SHE DIED A VICTIM OF TRUMPS BIG LIE.

Fuck this shit, ABC, and fuck you for pushing it.

This is embarrassing

sociopath or a fascist terrorist who chanted hang Pence Who aided the murder of Officer Brian Sicknick, who attempted to hold House Members hostage, and lynch? IMO not an appropriate story ABC.

It this were a black lady you would be portraying her very different fuck you abc! I’m tired of hearing about this thug who broke into the Capitol.

She was a patriot alright. She gave up her life for the American dream!

she was a thug she should have obeyed the law

Cost of terrorist action

She should not have been there if it wasn't for Trump

Although sad She knew better than Anyone there by neing in the Military You absolutely do Not go into the Capital Building like that & then into the inner chambers

Un-armed woman murdered in cold blood Cops standing right next to her 4 or 5 of them Could have grabbed her and cuffed her, but her life didn't matter so they just shot her dead

I honestly don’t give a fuck

When the looting starts.......

The word patriot now has a negative connotation... how sad

I SWEAR REPUBLICANS NEED NOT EVER RUN FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DUE TO CRIMES THEY HAVE COMMITTED! THEY HAVE CORRUPTED, FRAUD, LIED, GREED FOR POWER, CHEATED ETC ETC AND DESTROYED OUR CAPITAL AND COUNTRY!!!

These were not protestors... they were insurrectionists, a mob, terrorists

Why do police use guns against people without guns. 2 officers can arrest one person. Come on guys!

Was following Trump worth her life?

Lol it's a lot of hypocrites in the comments. I bet if this was a minority running from the police and was killed they would say 'he should have complied with the officer.'

You can see he doesn’t get her fascination with Trump but he also knew her in a different way and he loved her even if he didn’t agree with her. It’s just a story not a glorification. An insight to this woman from her grandfather.

The whole family is wack!

She was part of a mob participating in a coup attempt. They were there to take hostages and prevent the government from functioning. If she was a veteran, she took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution. She violated that oath.

She was not shot for “voicing her opinion”. She was shot because she was crawling in a broken window threatening govt officials. She stormed the Capitol as an insurgent and was shot. There’s a big difference.

Is there any better way to encourage more of these lunatics to commit more violence?

Her long arrest record would day otherwise dummy

Don’t worry, trump will give her the Purple Heart he got from a veteran and will pardon all who he “loved” that were arrested during the protest.

The video shows a black plainclothes cop shooting her at point blank range. No warning shot.

She shouldn’t have been there.....officers had to protect themselves!!

Stop. She served her nation. and died for nothing

She was fed a daily diet of hate by right wing advocates who wanted to manipulate these people for political and economic purposes.

So sad, he looks drained, Trump and his rhetoric has ruined so many lives. Trump must be held accountable for his actions; he encouraged people to attack and did not provide police protection. Only God kept the, out of control, mob from killing and blowing up the Capital.

She was not passionate about the gift of her life

She knew the law and she was breaking it! She was a good soldier gone rogue, that’s how it ends ! Sorry for the family

BS... She didn’t “get killed for voicing her opinion”.. She was shot for attempting to break through the window where the house representatives were. She was told to stop and get back several times in the video. She almost made it through when she was shot. No sympathy!

So did Timothy mcveigh, jeffery dauhmer, and lee harvey oswald. There veterans and then there are POS that pass through.

Passionate!! Please she broke into the Capitol building!! WTF did she expect?!!

One cannot be a patriot AND a supporter of tr*mp. They’re mutually exclusive.

Cant fault her gramps for not condemning her. Especially in public. The media shouldn’t be bothering them anyway.

She has a history of being a bully based on 2016 court records. You broke the law, stormed the capitol building and refused to stop when warned. My sympathy bucket is empty, sorry.

Military couldn't teach her anything about dodging a bullet?

The united states of america are a fail state thank's to these ppl realDonaldTrump FoxNews tedcruz LindseyGrahamSC MitchMcConneII

Decent country wouldn't interview the grandfather of the deceased the day after she died. That didn't last long

usairforce starsandstripes Babbitt dishonored the US Air Force. She should have protected the legislators & the electoral ballots, rather than supporting an attemptedCoup She failed in her oath to the USA. Ask why a “lifer” did not make 20 yrs service.

She is not a rioter. She is a White Domestic Terrorist. WhitePrivilegeIsReal

The Air Force needs to do a posthumous dishonorable discharge immediately on this terrorist babbitt.

I am sad to say, your grand daughter was a Terrorist.

He fed her lies!

Why didn’t she just comply? Why did she show disrespect to law enforcement? If you’re not doing anything wrong...nothing to worry about, right?

Sounds like Oswald's mom

It's sad she died.but she committed treason.she forgot the oath she took the day she was admitted into the armed forces of the United States of America.

She put herself in that situation. I’m not saddened at all.

对于这场闹剧的始作俑者,是否会受到公正得审判?这才是须要关注的焦点! 在巨大的历史事件中,个体的力量是脆弱不堪的,特别是一个受过专业训练的人,是什么促使她可以违背誓言,践踏她所热爱的世界,是被胁迫还是被心理暗示?她的死,必须有人负责,而不是被各种理由搪塞!热爱生命,敬畏生命!

Nobody deserves to die,,,but

Judging from the article and the quotes selected, I’m not hearing any remorse. This is what comes of Trump’s weak condemnation, these people think they won.

The family has lunatic realDonaldTrump and the rest of the GOP senatemajldr tedcruz HawleyMO LindseyGrahamSC marcorubio KenPaxtonTX to blame for her death. They enabled the lunatic cult leader and she decided to join and be a follower of the cult.

Stay away from Robinhood. They are always getting hacked and tech support is useless. They even issued a debit card for my mothers account to someone in Indonesia. Her account is registered to an address in Georgia !!! They sent a card to Indonesia.

She is a terrorist. Period.

Sorry you are not a patriot when you participate in an insurrection

Why is the media wasting time giving this domestic terrorist a platform? She was a member of Trump’s cult and vowed to do harm in Trump’s name. That’s nothing to applaud someone for

ABC come on you have to get it together. Its 2021 how was she that damn passionate? That's called domestic terrorism.

It is sad she lost her life but if things were guarded properly; they all would have been shot or arrested and should have been but someone didn't send in the FBI AND NATIONAL GUARD

Well she was a terrorist so 🙃

And she was out right executed. We won’t forget

She was engaged in a violent insurrection which cost one Capitol police officer his life and injured many more. That more demonstrators weren’t injured or killed raised questions about why peaceful demonstrators on the left are routinely attacked, but the right gets kid gloves.

ungerbn103

Maybe if she didn’t associate herself with thugs she would still be alive.

ungerbn103 Q anon. A psyop

Traitor

They did same thing with that terrorist that blew himself up on xmas,, showing the softer side of terrorists 🙄she was a terrorist

she is/was a traitor, end of.

Voicing her opinion? If she had been standing behind the barricades shouting her love for Donald Trump, that would have been accurate but no sir......she was breaking and entering a federal building. Sorry not sorry.

She was a rioter. She was not a patriot. Do not elevate her status beyond a common criminal. She knew the risks involved.

Let’s get video of people remembering other traitors to this country. Like come the fuck on abc this really isn’t it.

She died for Trump, not for the country...

you raised her wrong, now she will go down in history as a traitor to democracy

The news should stop glorifying White Supermacist, then pretending with surprise for what Trump and his terrorist groups capable for. I watched this woman ranting videos.

She is a thug and a criminal!!!!! I’m saying this sarcastically. I don’t believe it but if she were black and dying for my rights this what her president would have said
