We published a piece on this very thing early yesterday, and apparently, it has taken a Nancy Pelosi letter (also covered this morning) and a few more hours, this afternoon, for Twitter to really catch up in its anger about Donald Trump’s most chilling statement in months, putting Capitol Hill Police’ lives in danger because of his need to make Ashli Babbit a martyr, while transforming the riot into something justified and good.

Quite frankly, people are fcking sick of it and him.

First, they’re sick of him using presidential statements that are then posted to Twitter by his spokesperson on her account, for all intents and purposes, avoiding his ban.

But mostly they are sick of a movement that lionizes a man like Trump, accused of more assaults than… a movement that considers a young white kid with a rifle a hero, a movement which hates the Capitol Hill Police but sympathizes with Officer Chauvin, and, well – it’s all about Trump, and “whiteness,” which goes hand in hand, stronger and stronger, with each passing month.

Trump says that “everyone knows” who shot Ashli Babbitt (the police and courts are trying to protect his identity to protect his life) while tenderly consoling Babbitt’s “wonderful mother,” in an environment where there was so much love in the air.

“So much love in the air” sounds like a cliche one would read in a history book about a ruthless dictator who believed that all homage to him was “righteous” and “selfless.” Upon reading it, one would shake their head and say how could people be so stupid?

Well, not everyone is that stupid, the vast majority are not stupid, and they lit Twitter up this afternoon:

I am so sick and tired of some people asking us to feel sorry for Ashli Babbit with the subtext being that our sympathy is warranted for a white woman because she was "tricked".

She was a grown adult. She was a terrorist. Hold white women accountable when we do these things.

You can tell a lot about people by who they embrace as heroes. Nazis killed Heather Heyer b/c she peacefully championed justice & stood against Nazis. Police killed Ashli Babbit b/c she violently undermined justice & stood with Nazis.

GOP ignores Heyer & praises Babbit. Horrid.

It is, in fact, deeply misogynistic to suggest Ashli Babbit shouldn't be held accountable as a terrorist.

To be clear and I don’t know how many times we have to say it but Ashli Babbit was domestic terrorist killed by this man 🤷🏼‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/LAz4EHb1bU

Was Ashli Babbit's middle name "Karen?" https://t.co/kkflutyiUO

It’s kind of odd that the party that wants everyone to have guns so they can “protect their property” thinks it’s an atrocity that Ashli Babbit was killed breaking into THE PEOPLES HOUSE!! You don’t get to be on both sides.

Next time one of you stupid fucks want to honor Ashli Babbit for her “sacrifices”, take a look at the number of REAL patriots who sacrificed their lives for your freedoms, instead of a loser climbing through a broken window. pic.twitter.com/63AIuwTPp2

Ashli Babbit is dead because she didn't believe she would have to face any actual consequences for her own actions.

Your daily reminder that:

Michael Flynn is a traitor

Ashli Babbit was a terrorist

Bill Barr needs to be in jail

Kavanaugh, ACB, and Gorsuch are not legitimate justices

Trump is a mass murdering serial rapist, sexual assaulter, traitor and white supremacist#ArrestTrumpNow https://t.co/eBxnbTs1Ij
