Who killed Ashli Babbitt?

Description

PRESCOTT, AZ - Representative Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) issued the following statement in remembrance of Ashli Babbitt, who was killed in the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. “Six months ago today, Ashli Babbitt, a 110-pound woman with nothing in her hands, not a rock, not a stick or a bat, was shot dead by a still unknown Capitol Hill police officer. Her death has been ruled a homicide. Yet, we have very little information about her death. Our fake news media has asked no questions or sought information about this tragedy. So, I have. And now President Trump has joined me in seeking the truth. In many instances, when a law enforcement officer kills an individual for any reason, that officer’s name is publicly released. There is then an investigation and the public is given updates, briefings and ultimately a copy of the investigation. But not in the case of Ashli Babbitt. Instead, there is a determined effort to cover up the full circumstances of this homicide and the American people won’t stand for it. The Air Force identified the woman shot and killed during riots at the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday as 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt, formerly Ashli Elizabeth McEntee, an Air Force veteran who served on active duty from 2004 to 2008. A security forces member, Senior Airman McEntee last served active-duty at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, before joining the Air Force Reserve from 2008 to 2010, Air Force chief of media operations Ann Stefanek said in a statement. She then joined the Air National Guard from 2010 until 2016. A San Diego native, Babbitt deployed at least eight times, according to a 2014 press release about her unit, the 113th Security Forces Squadron. That experience allowed her to mentor younger airmen gearing up for their first deployment. “The newer airmen have been coming to us and asking about the living conditions, the weather, the gear, the schedule, how we work as teams, the hours we work,” Babbitt said at the time. “As we have a large amount of first-timers deploying with us, I think we can offer comfort and knowledge.” Her Twitter page indicates she was a devoted supporter of President Donald Trump. Why won’t the Department of Justice identify the shooter? Why won’t the Department of Justice release the nearly 14,000 hours of surveillance video taken on January 6? I have asked for this for months. Why haven’t the SWAT team members standing by Ashli at the moment of her murder been interrogated and their statements released? They were right next to her and saw no threat. Certainly, no lethal threat. Why were there no warnings given or escalation of command and force in proper law enforcement technique? Why have no charges been brought against the shooter for negligent homicide or more? It is unjust to sweep Ashli’s death under the rug by merely saying she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, as so many have. Her life mattered. We do not allow the execution of citizens by street “justice” in our country. We have rejected vigilantism and police abuse for generations. Ashli’s family and the American people deserve to know the truth about her death. A fair investigation is needed, and this cannot just be hidden from public scrutiny. Transparency is critical for the public to accept the conclusions. I will not stop my quest to find answers to who killed Ashli Babbitt,” said Rep. Gosar. We the people want to know the facts of this homicide by the police. If she was a black woman there would have been protest in our streets demanding answers. The protesters that attacked the police are behind bars and most likely be there for a long time. Some are still waiting for a trial date and are being refused legal council. Is this the "New America"? Before you scream bull shit and start name calling imagine if it were your loved one that lay dead with a bullet to the head.
