This might be one of the most important columns we’ve done.
It might be hard to watch. Indeed, it is hard to watch because below, we are going to insert the video from just prior to the gunfire that ended Ashli Babbit’s life but we are doing it to benefit the country.
If one hasn’t been closely following day-to-day alterations in the MAGA whitewash of January 6th it is critical that you watch the videos below and then send this article to friends. We aren’t saying that to push up views of this article, we have far better ways to go about doing such a thing. We are trying to push back, as Democrats, taking a stand and not abandoning it.
Fact. There are facts in the world and we adhere to them.
It is a fact that Ashli Babbit was among a group of rioters that pushed past security guards, ignoring dozens of warnings and laws, then came dangerously close to breaking through a door that led straight into a hallway with Representatives in the hallway. Babbitt was warned by the security behind the door, with guns, too.
Here is Maria Bartiromo laying out the propaganda changing history for the easiest question Trump will ever be asked, she laid out what we are to believe. We paraphrase Bartiromo:
“Do you know anything about who shot this wonderful young woman who went to a peaceful protest who was trying to climb out of a broken window (implying she was trying to get away), and was shot by a security official for a high ranking official, a Democrat?”
Trump just said he heard the same thing, but that the name was going to come out. (When it does, whoever it was, will have to be put into some kind of witness protection program).
Here is Maria Bartiromo, creating a martyr.

Okay, get that? A wonderful young woman who went to a peaceful protest and was trying to climb out a broken window, shot by a Democrat’s detail?
Now, hard as it is, watch the “FACTS” – Your eyes will not lie, watch what led up to the shooting (The video cuts just as the gun is about to be fired, you will not see the gunshot.) The video is from about 0:10 to :25, and we can tell you that they only played a brief bit of the aggression that led up to the shooting.
And that is how the truth is perverted. Ashli Babbit ignored warnings to move back, Ashli Babbit helped battle through a police line twice, once outside, once inside (She did not attend a peaceful protest, nor did she intend a peaceful protest), Ashli Babbit was trying to break the window to get through to the area where representatives stood down the hall. The only reason to break that window is to get at those people down the hall.
We don’t know, nor care, whether Ashli Babbit was a wonderful woman before that day. The fact is, any of us can be as saintly and innocent as we want. And if on one day we ignore police warnings, break into a building illegally, and put someone’s life in danger after being warned and warned, we are going to be shot. Being a “wonderful woman” isn’t even slightly relevant. Indeed, the NRA should be supporting the officer, a threat was stopped by a “good guy with a gun.”
This is what Trump and the MAGAs do. There are dozens of videos of Trump accusing the Democrats of the old line; “If you say something often enough, hard enough, over enough time, people will start to believe you.” He knows that this is exactly how propaganda works.
Pass this around.
