On the Trump train

Sam Kilnaowski made a few false statements concerning Ashli Babbitt.

He stated that Babbitt was “murdered” when, in fact, she was justifiably killed when she chose to be the first of Trump’s thugs to attempt to crawl through a broken window that lay a very short distance from the legislators those thugs were intent upon killing.

Kilanowski then stated that Babbitt “posed no threat to anyone.” But, again, Babbitt was the first of potentially hundreds of insurrectionists who would have gained access to the said legislators had she not been stopped. So she posed a lethal threat to the lawmakers and the vastly outnumbered cops responsible for protecting them.

Per Kilanowski’s claim that she did “nothing wrong,” had the habitually violent Babbitt survived, she likely would have been charged with assaulting a federal officer, unlawful entry, destruction of government property, obstruction of justice, and disorderly conduct.

Finally, Sam asserted that the lack of outrage over Babbitt’s death was because she was a Trump supporter. However, Fox “News,” One America “News,” and others exhibited plenty of outrage but to no avail even amongst their audience.

Newsmax’s Greg Kelly attempted to make a hashtag of Babbitt’s name by tweeting “say her name,” but even his reactionary viewers knew that Babbitt was no Breonna Taylor. Indeed, like Timothy McVeigh, Babbitt was a traitor and a terrorist who doesn’t deserve to be memorialized.

Ultimately, Ashli Babbitt’s cause of death was end-stage stupidity, not murder. She believed such QAnon asininity as “Hillary Clinton is a Satan-worshipping pedophile who drinks the blood of sacrificed babies” and other delusions.

Like thousands of other cognitively challenged individuals who refused to be vaccinated, to social distance, and to wear a mask during a pandemic, Ashli Babbitt chose to ride Trump’s cult train to her death.
