Gallego Seeks to Deny Military Funeral Honors to Ashli Babbitt
Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego plans to introduce legislation to block the Pentagon from providing full military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. Gallego, who served in the military, believes Babbitt’s actions on January 6th disqualify her from receiving such honors, as she attempted to breach the Capitol and was shot and killed. He argues that awarding these honors to Babbitt would bring discredit to the Air Force. This move follows the Pentagon’s initial denial of the honors, a decision spurred by Babbitt’s involvement in the Capitol riot, despite pressure from groups like Judicial Watch who cited her military service and sought to align the honor with clemency granted to January 6 defendants.
