Right Searches For A Martyr

The failed coup of 06 January has brought about many silly statements and actions by the lunatic Right…..most of their attempts to revise the events of 06 January are not generating the interest they had hoped it would have gone in search of a single person they can use as the face of the insurrection and elevate to martyrdom.

And now it appears they have the person they want as a martyr for the cause…..Ashli Babbitt–the bitch that was shot and killed during the failed coup attempt….

On January 6, motivated by then-President Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election, a mob of pro-Trump extremists stormed the United States Capitol, shattering windows, beating police officers, ransacking offices, and threatening the lives of any lawmaker seen as disloyal to Trump.

Among these rioters was Ashli Babbitt, who was shot by an unnamed law enforcement officer while trying to climb through a broken window to infiltrate the Speaker’s Lobby.

Though the right constantly contorts itself to justify the shootings of unarmed Black people by police, Trump’s supporters instantly enshrined Babbitt as a martyr, rather than someone leading a violent mob into a restricted area of the United States Capitol while calling for the execution of elected officials.

Now, Trump himself is fully adopting that rhetoric, having released a statement hailing her as a patriot.

“I spoke to the wonderful mother and devoted husband of Ashli Babbitt, who was murdered at the hands of someone who never should have pulled the trigger of his gun. We know who he is. If that 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. The Radical Left haters cannot be allowed to get away with this. There must be justice!”

Trump has repeatedly praised the failed insurrectionists. Even hours after they infiltrated the Capitol—when he finally asked them to go home—he emphasized that they were “very special” and that “we love you.”

I think the attempt is not going well….for I have not seen too much jumping on this bandwagon.

But keep an eye on the news…I am sure that this is far from over…..

  1. I really hate (in a way) to make this comparison because there’s already too much blown up in our politics comparting every damn thing to the Nazis when the comparisons don’t apply at all… but…. as soon as Babbitt was killed I thought of Horst Wessel. Ha! I just now see replier above CI mentioned it.

    From Wiki…
    Horst Ludwig Georg Erich Wessel (9 October 1907 – 23 February 1930) was a Berlin Sturmführer (“Assault Leader”, the lowest commissioned officer rank) of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the Nazi Party’s stormtroopers. After his murder in 1930, he was made into a martyr for the Nazi cause by Joseph Goebbels.
