TFG calls police officer who killed Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt a murderer: 'We know who he is'

Former President Donald Trump ratcheted up his rhetoric against the law enforcement officer who shot Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt, calling them a murderer and ominously warning that "we know who he is" in a Wednesday statement.

Babbitt died after being shot by a law enforcement officer as she tried to climb through a broken window to get into the Speaker's Lobby during the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol.

"I spoke to the wonderful mother and husband of Ashli Babbitt, who was murdered at the hands of someone who should have never pulled the trigger of his gun," Trump said. "We know who is he is. If this happened to the 'other side,' there would be riots all over America, and yet there are far more people represented by Ashli, who truly loved America, than there are on the other side."

Trump then added: "The Radical Left haters cannot be allowed to get away with this. There must be justice!"

And Trump goaded her to do it.

They are both traitors. The worst kind.

Best case, it would leave him entirely motionless and unable to speak, but fully conscious.

Is that too much to hope?


By the way, to all groupies lurking here from the various online KKKonservative cesspit forums: Go fuck yourselves.

The best thing for everyone is him to pass gently in his sleep, but that it's also wrong to hope for someone's death.

It's likely he won't die for years, galling as that is. Cheney is still alive.

so I think about what I wish would happen to TFG as I toss and turn. Mostly, I want him to get verbal truth diarrhea. The sort of condition where he has to tell the truth when asked a question in excruciating detail.

ex:
"what are you hiding in your taxes?"
"do you want to bone your daughter?"
"what do you think about your supporters?"

And maybe get him killed and then dump will hold up his hands and say don't blame me. Why can't the POS just fucking die of cardiac disease.

The latest on MSNBC tonight was Joyce Vance, noting the strong evidence, against former trump COS Meadows.

Vance also noted that DOJ will work through a grandjury quietly, until an indictment is announced.

Still inciting his followers.

He's giving them their marching orders: "If this happened to the 'other side,' there would be riots all over America..."

He is speaking in "code" to his followers.

He wishes for them to riot or commit some sort of violence in his name.

The enemy is the Far Left and the Libs.

He wants so much for another insurrection. He is a boil on the ass of America.

It's mob talk. He says something obvious without actually saying it.

Armies of Republicans train to talk that way; but he's a natural at it.

BTW, if there had been a Leftist/Hater invasion of the Capitol, it wouldn't be one dumbass that would have been shot. It would have been all of them.

I don’t think he should be ignored or dismissed. He is, indeed, a threat to be directly handled.

Trump is not politically stupid- he knows what buttons to push to ramp up contradiction and his hold on a party and a movement.

the former guy who tear-gassed protestors so his goons could build a big razor-wire wall to keep them blocks and blocks away from him?

He has no scruples against just putting out some name, whether it's the right person or not, just to give him and his supporters pleasure.

trampled to death. I mean Ashli wasn't the only one that died that day. The tourists literally trampled a woman to death in their mad dash to write on the walls of congress with their own shit.
