      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.

          There's one detail that I haven't seen highlighted nearly enough: if the officer doesn't shoot, Babbitt gets through, then she's followed by dozens more insurrectionists and it's likely they get to MoC. This was an incredibly important moment in holding back the insurrection.

          agree completely wi @HeerJeet ‘s point here, but also think the context has been under-reported -the no.’s 1, 2 & 3 in presidential succession are barricaded, pipebombs found on premises & a rioter wi backpack attempts to climb thru said last barricade-the shooting was inevitable

          Her death need not be investigated, it was documented. She refused a lawful order. She was advancing on unarmed lawmakers. Not only did She did not follow lawful direct orders, she was climbing thru a window to keep advancing. She could have stopped at anytime. She did not.

          What’s to investigate? A good guy with a gun shot a bad guy, or gal in the case. Isn’t this the world Rs always wanted?
