Ashli Babbitt’s Military Funeral Sparks Outrage Over Treason
The Air Force has offered full military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, a rioter fatally shot during the January 6th Capitol riot, as confirmed by officials. Babbitt, an Air Force veteran who protested the 2020 election results, was shot while attempting to breach the House chamber. This decision follows advocacy from conservative groups and comes after the Justice Department and Capitol Police cleared the officer involved in her death of any wrongdoing. Despite this, Babbitt’s death has become a rallying point for right-wing groups, with her estate having recently settled a wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. government.
