McCarthy rejects Rep. Greene’s claim that Jan. 6 rioter Babbitt was murdered

And you would have been outraged if a black rioter got shot then, right? If he was going through a broken window of some storefront or something like that?
If the black rioter was a 100 lb unarmed woman and poses not threat and the police did not warn her I'd be pretty upset too. How about you would you be upset in those circumstances?

Her weight has nothing to do w/ it.

I actually feel terrible that she died like that. She seemed like a good person, who got in w/ the wrong crowd/message.

Trump is responsible. Trump has ruined so many people - it's hard to believe so many people still believe him, and are loyal to him. No one has ever benefited from that, in the long run.

She was a bad person. Good people don't attack the US Capitol.

Her weight had a lot to do with it. A well trained cop should have easily subdued her and made and arrest. Using lethal force on a 100 lb 5"2 female is just crazy. Michael Byrd is a coward and a murder. He never even tried to arrest her and she never even resisted arrest. The four armed cops behind her didn't try to use lethal force on her.

Actually, she was not a good person.

She had a violent road rage incident involving (tough to follow) the 6 year GF of a coworker who she was having an affair with. Said GF informed Babbitt's then husband about the affair, and it got violent. Restraining orders are in place.

None of which is a death sentence.

Acting to kill/injure legislators is, though

Dumb answer. The shooting immediately caused the other terrorists to retreat, despite being ordered to do so for hours already

If she was greeted nicely, and invited to tour 'the people's house' as you suggest, there would have been a flood of other terrorists who would have murdered one or more of our legislators.

The dog got what she deserved.
 
I was outraged when the cop murder George Floyd and I called for his arrest and conviction as Byrd should have been arrested and convicted. I'm consistent and you are not.

Chauvin did not murder floyd. Floyd was dying of a drug overdose and chauvin put him on the gound as per PD rules.
 
She was breaking the law, and Trump has done nothing but tell lies about 2020, and everything else. He is responsible for everything that happened on 1/6.

Trump didn't win in a "landslide." He actually lost, and lost by quite a bit. Many Americans went to the polls just to vote against him. He played to the base, ran a terrible campaign and didn't try to broaden his appeal.

He's a loser, who has lost the last 3 elections for Republicans. He wants to lose more for them, too.

Wow! TDaK is really delusional. Notice how after every one of his delusional statements, he always says "...and everybody knows it" to comfort himself into believing it.
Typical of someone with a delusional disorder.
He should take my signature to heart and get some help.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Thursday rejected a claim by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) that Ashli Babbitt was “murdered” by a Capitol Police officer while trying to breach the doors near the House chamber during the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“I think the police officer did his job,” McCarthy said during a news conference when asked if he agrees with Greene’s characterization or if he thinks that the officer did his job when he shot Babbitt as she tried to enter the Speaker’s Lobby through a broken window on that day.

Marjorie Taylor Greene said that Sandy Hook and Parkland were staged and the parents are actors and the kids are really still alive.
Republicans just put her on the committee that oversees school safety.
But Ilhan Omar…

It happened in the middle of a riot, and she was part of a violent, aggressive mob making their way through the Capitol.

I don't think "you're under arrest" would have cut it in that circumstance. Those cops had to react quickly & think on their feet. They were completely overwhelmed.

Babbitt was trying to break in through a barricaded door. She deserved to die.
