Emma Vigeland: Trump is now saying that it like a Democratic operative helped or killed Ashli Babbitt.
Sam Seder: Oh we do have that. She's the woman who was climbing through the broken window of the door into the main chamber of where the Congressional offices were there was a cop who was behind the barricaded doors yelling, "Don't come in, don't come in, don't come in." You could see it with the video is quite explicit on what happened.
Emma Vigeland: And there was a gun that was pointed out.
Sam Seder: And there was a gun pointed at her, and as she jumped through, he fired. I mean, I don't know if that was a justified firing, to be honest with you. I don't know why you don't fire up in the air once. The guy was terrified, I have no doubt. Scary situation. But it's quite clear what happened there, right. There was an assault on the Capitol. And I don't know how these people are like, "We're busting through these doors, but we don't mean a threat to anybody."
Emma Vigeland: And they're comparing it to George Floyd, who was accused of using a counterfeit bill, was completely subdued, and slowly murdered over nine minutes, while she was charging through broken glass.
Sam Seder: And to be clear, she wasn't alone. There were a mob, hundreds, if not a couple of thousands of people. So it's not analogous. But what's interesting is they are now making her some type of martyr, and what's also interesting is that they're doing this months later, when there is distance between the right-wing talking points of "Cops are right in all circumstances." And now there's some distance. And so now they can afford to do that. Here's Donald Trump both lionizing her and implying that the Dems took her out. Maria Bartiromo: Well that's right, and I want to talk about that. Because Ashli Babbitt, a wonderful woman, fatally shot on January 6th as she tried to climb out of a broken window...
Sam Seder: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. She wasn't trying to climb out of a broken window, she was trying to climb in through a broken window.
Emma Vigeland: Which was broken by members of the mob that she was a part of and again it's a tragedy that she died. It's a tragedy that she was brainwashed to the point that she was doing this. That's the tragedy.
Matt Lech: Yeah, that's the point is, the people who pulled the trigger are the people who said the election was stolen. Because stolen elections justify a certain amount of resistance. Now I think those people are completely misled, but they were misled by Republicans, and that's who she's... if she's a martyr to anyone she's a martyr to GOP propaganda.
Emma Vigeland: Yeah, the GOP gave this cop the gun, put his finger on the trigger, and then put pressure on it. And now they're trying to hold like some sort of funeral for the person...
Sam Seder: We also know that they know that they're lying when they have to say she's trying to climb out of a window. Climb out?
Maria Bartiromo: ...wonderful woman fatally shot on January 6th as she tried to climb out of a broken window. Her family has spoken out. Her family has been on Tucker Carlson, and they want answers as far as why this wonderful woman, young woman, who went to peaceful protest was shot. Do you have any information? There is speculation that this was a security detail in a leading member of Congress's security detail, a Democrat. What can you tell us in terms of who shot Ashli Babbitt? What do you know Mr. President?
Donald Trump: So I've heard that... I will tell you they know who shot Ashli Babbitt. They're protecting that person. I've heard also that it was the head of security for a certain high official, a Democrat, and we'll see, because it's going to come out, it's going to come out.
Emma Vigeland: "It was the same head of security that killed Seth Rich."
Sam Seder: We need to pull the other video. This idea that she was shot climbing out of a window, it is amazing. I just presumed everybody saw this.
