#SpeakerMikeJohnson claims Trump won in 2020. So why isn't he investigating and having hearings? Why isn't #Trump and his supporters, especially the friends and family of #AshliBabbitt, demanding that he do so?
Same reason nobody tests the communion wafer and wine for transubstantiation. Cause it's a creed, not a factual belief. Your job is to be mostly docile, say the right words and hope the community holds together as long as possible.
#Trump runs a cult but remember that most people don't believe the craziest claims of their religion or do everything they are supposed to. They say what's necessary and show up on occasion for the community. He still says the election was stolen and they claim to believe him, but they do nothing. His supporters are keeping up appearances for each other. Very few stormed the capitol and nobody followed behind #AshliBabbitt. He entertains them but the vast majority won't risk anything for his BS.
“Mike, this is a political career killer if you do this,” Trump told #Pence by phone the morning of #Jan6 acc/to the WH #valet who was w/TFG for much of the day & told #Congress he’d overheard the conversation.
My wife @elenacardone
started a $354,000,000 GoFundMe account to fund the UNJUST judgement against @realDonaldTrump
@DonaldJTrumpJr
@EricTrump
and Trump Organization.
Give something & DEMONSTRATE that the people of America are standing together against unjust rulings like this where a bias judges & corrupt legal system is out of control.
Because #Trump (and a lot of his supporters) still claims he won in 2020, I hope DeSantis drops out ASAP and Haley takes it to the convention. And she needs to get a lot more aggressive. Punch the bully in his fucking face. #AshliBabbitt died cause she believed his selfish bullshit.
Beyond those who knew better and willfully lied for their own selfish reasons, it's hard to know who else exactly to blame when misinformation leads people to suffer or die unnecessarily. There should be a better culture of critical thinking, but also a society less full of people desperate enough to believe anything. And more of a sense that we can truly listen to opinions and facts presented by those we disagree with. #AshliBabbitt#JAN6
Who will apologize to #AshliBabbitt's family when they all finally drop #Trump and admit he didn't win in 2020?
Lies can kill. Someday maybe, you'll care more about the public interest and what's actually true than being entertained. But probably not until you're the one suffering. #jennaellis#chesebro#sidneypowell#scotthall#meadows
“Zach Alam--the guy who would have followed #AshliBabbitt through the door if she hadn't been shot--found guilty of all charges”
Alam, then 29, repeatedly smashed windows of the Speaker’s Lobby, opening the route to Babbit’s death. It’s on video and led to the moniker #HelmetBoy.
He also robbed an antiques mall in Lancaster County PA in 2021.
I'd love to talk to the guys behind #AshliBabbitt on #J6. Why fall back? They had to know the cop couldn't kill them all. Maybe some that day wanted to peacefully protest, but the group with her clearly had a bigger goal, were willing to break down barriers and had to know there would be some lethal force protecting Congress.
imo #MAGA (and #Q etc) was cosplay and her death woke them up. Politics as entertainment, trolling as fake fighting and their leader is a WWE/realityTV star. Fuck civics.
Witthoeft, 58, was spotted by The Daily Beast being taken into custody just after 6:45
She struck the anti Fascist woman before shoving her off the sidewalk then grabbing her megaphone & smashing it before she ran off #magats
