Trump commemorates Ashli Babbitt's birthday: 'We must all demand justice'

Former President Donald Trump sent a prerecorded commemoration video to the family of the late Ashli Babbitt on her birthday, saying, "We must all demand justice," as they mourned the 35-year-old former Air Force veteran who was shot while trespassing in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Babbitt was killed by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd while she was attempting to climb through a broken doorway window and into the Speaker's Lobby during the riots at the Capitol earlier this year. Both Babbitt's family and the former president have called on the Justice Department to reopen its investigation after Byrd was exonerated.

It is my great honor to address each of you gathered today to cherish the memory of Ashli Babbitt, a truly incredible person," Trump said in the video, which played at a ceremony for Babbitt on Sunday in Freeport, Texas .

"On that horrible day of Jan. 6, Ashli arrived at the United States Capitol. She was shot and tragically killed," Trump said. "Today would have been her birthday. Happy birthday, Ashli."

In his message, Trump said, "We renew our call for a fair and nonpartisan investigation into the death of Ashli Babbitt. I offer my unwavering support to Ashli's family and call on the Department of Justice to reopen its investigation into her death on January 6."

Roughly two dozen attendees at the gathering in Freeport erupted in applause after the former president's message, the latest of his calls on the DOJ to reopen the investigation.

Former President Trump spoke at the Ashli Babbitt birthday commemoration via pre-recorded video: "Her memory will live on in our hearts for all time."

"There was no reason Ashli should have lost her life that day. We must all demand justice for Ashli and her family," Trump said.

Babbitt was killed by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd while she was attempting to climb through a broken doorway window and into the Speaker's Lobby during the riots at the Capitol earlier this year.

This was truly the key point in this sentence "she was attempting to climb through a broken doorway window and into the Speaker's Lobby during the riots at the Capitol."

She was an unarmed woman Ron. Byrd is a coward.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, October 11th 2021 at 7:57PM

She was also in a secured area and was told to stand down and the rest is history.

Byrd is a coward and Babbitt is dead by her own actions.

Steve Williams Monday, October 11th 2021 at 8:49PM

There were two cops standing right next to Babbitt. Why didn't they just restrain her Ron?

Steve Williams Monday, October 11th 2021 at 8:53PM

Byrd decided to make an example of her, and you don't care. An unarmed female. Taken from her family unjustly, just as surely as my Andrew was taken from me by a murderer. But this cop has gotten off scot free.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, October 11th 2021 at 9:27PM

YOUR WORDS: There were two cops standing right next to Babbitt. Why didn't they just restrain her Ron?


MY REPLY: That is a good question but from reports, Babbitt was given an order while at gunpoint, and she failed to reply and that action cost her, her life.

The question should be: Why was Babbitt at the siege of The U.S. Capital Building in the first place using force to break in, Steve? It really sounds like she was a part of the insurrectionist, performing her orders from TRUMP.





Steve Williams Monday, October 11th 2021 at 9:56PM

Let's just see what you say the next time it happens to an unarmed colored man who is told to stand down and he doesn't. I just want to see what you say then. Especially if the cop is unilaterally cleared by her fellow cops. Can you think of such a case Ron? That's what I thought.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, October 11th 2021 at 11:34PM

Steve, if a “ unarmed colored man “ was breaking in your house and he made it inside your walls, You would be justified if you shot him too.

Wrong don’t Right nobody and I don’t care what color you are Steve.




Steve Williams Monday, October 11th 2021 at 11:48PM

Even as a private citizen I was trained to make every attempt not to shoot. Even when you're in your own home. Byrd didn't have to shoot, Babbit was no threat.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, October 12th 2021 at 7:06AM

She failed to obey a lawful order by The Capital Police and she paid the price in her belief of TRUMP'S THE BIG LIE, with her life.

Steve, do you still believe that The 2020 Presidential Election was stolen from TRUMP?

Steve Williams Tuesday, October 12th 2021 at 7:39AM

Of course Ron. I'm way ahead of you.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, October 12th 2021 at 7:55AM

Steve, do you still believe that The 2020 Presidential Election was stolen from TRUMP?


Steve Williams Tuesday, October 12th 2021 at 8:25AM

You saw.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, October 12th 2021 at 9:36AM

Can you be more specific?

Steve Williams Tuesday, October 12th 2021 at 7:46PM

What I said.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, October 12th 2021 at 9:04PM

What are you talking about now, Steve?

Steve Williams Tuesday, October 12th 2021 at 11:36PM

I answered your question. You saw what I said Ron, don't act like you didn't.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, October 12th 2021 at 11:43PM

Can you be more specific Steve?




Steve Williams Wednesday, October 13th 2021 at 1:13AM

Can you read what you asked me? Twice?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, October 13th 2021 at 6:37AM

NO!!! I don’t understand your point and Since you can’t clarify your point, don’t worry about it, later Steve.



Steve Williams Wednesday, October 13th 2021 at 2:28PM

Steve, do you still believe that The 2020 Presidential Election was stolen from TRUMP?

You must have short-term memory loss Ron, hmmm... The answer is YES!!!

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, October 13th 2021 at 4:29PM

So, after all this time and After Trump’s so-called evidence was thrown out of 63 US courts as incredible but yet you still believe Trump’s BIG LIE.

I really want to understand why do you still believe TRUMP. Why do you still believe in THE BIG, have you seen any evidence that makes you believe TRUMP?

If so, show me your evidence, can you do that?

Because Ashli Babbitt was lost her LIFE, based on TRUMP’S BIG LIE.

Steve Williams Wednesday, October 13th 2021 at 6:41PM

No Ron, Ashli Babbitt lost her life because Michael Byrd fatally shot her. He didn't have to, and he should be investigated just like anyone else.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Wednesday, October 13th 2021 at 8:17PM

You didn't know Steve! Michael Byrd was investigated and he was exonerated from any wrongdoing in Babbitt’s death by an internal use-of-force probe.

I really want to understand why do you still believe TRUMP. Why do you still believe in THE BIG LIE, have you seen any evidence that makes you believe TRUMP?

If so, show me your evidence, can you do that?

Or can you put that LIE into words?

Steve Williams Thursday, October 14th 2021 at 12:30AM

You should know Ron, an internal PD investigation is not an objective investigation.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 14th 2021 at 5:57AM

It was Enough to allow Michael Byrd to walk FREE from prosecution, despite that excuse you I talking about.

Steve Williams Thursday, October 14th 2021 at 5:10PM

It was enough for Trump to call for justice for Ashli Babbitt. Ashli Babbitt is a martyr. MSNBC was broadcasting and we all saw her body bleeding out as she was carried out of the Capitol. The fatal shot quelled the mob and that is why Byrd murdered her. MAGA will not forget.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 14th 2021 at 7:30PM

Only in your mind that Ashli Babbitt is a martyr, Steve. You can't even tell me or the people here on Black In America, what was she fighting for Steve? Why didn't Ashli Babbitt failed to obey orders from The U.S. Capital Police after she broke through a glass window? If that's what you call a martyr, that is out of the normal qualities of a Martyr.

Ashli Babbitt died because she believed THE BIG LIE more than you do.

It looks like you were a witness to history.





Steve Williams Thursday, October 14th 2021 at 11:07PM

To us she is a martyr. She is the voice of the people and you can't silence her Ron. Just like the sacred flag they pledged to in Virginia last night.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Thursday, October 14th 2021 at 11:38PM

That is your right.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, October 30th 2021 at 2:38PM

Hey Steve, don't hear much from you now that you are learning the truth about "TRUMP'S BIG LIE" and that's all it was, right Steve?

Steve Williams Sunday, October 31st 2021 at 8:48PM

I'm here Ron. I'm in my second year of studying Mandarin Chinese and Zhou Laoshi is much more demanding than you are.

Steve Williams Sunday, October 31st 2021 at 8:51PM

I joined Fox Nation so I can see Tucker's special documentary that starts tomorrow.
