    1. There's a definite push among the far right ghouls to exonerate the Jan. 6 rioters & make Ashli Babbitt into a martyr. Trump is now on board and, given experience of last 5 years, this is likely to become more and more a mainstream GOP position. This is very dangerous.pic.twitter.com/aZ6b9373zt

        2. It's unclear whether Democrats have a response ready for this Trumpian embrace of Jan. 6 with Ashley Babbitt as a Horst Wessel-style martyr. It's a mythos in the making and a purely legal investigation can't refute a myth.

        3. On a lower, popular level you see a few liberals responding to Ashly Babbitt sanctification with gleeful derision: "she fucked around & found out" etc. This is also a mistake, not just callous but also shifting blame away from Trump.pic.twitter.com/6PpvoAtypw

        4. Babbitt's death, like everything else about Jan. 6, should be investigated. But main details of story are clear & should turn focus not on her or cop who shot her but the president who incited the riot.

        not the most important detail, but Kerik's last sentence is such a laughable misunderstanding of police consequences it's incredible

        That it's from Bernie Fucking **KERIK** is the cherry on top of that particular shit-sundae.
