BREAKING: The Trump administration confirms it has reached a settlement in principle with the family of Ashli Babbitt, the Jan. 6 rioter who was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer while trying to enter the House chamber.

The terms of the settlement are not yet public. DOJ and lawyers for Babbitt family say they have not signed the agreement but are working to get it on paper and signed within the next few weeks.

She asked for it.

She wasn't a victim.

She wasn't innocent.

She was a domestic terrorist, she asked for it, she got it. No need for any "settlement" beyond that.

Sucks that she made that life choice, but her family doesn't deserve our tax dollars.

Was this a reversal of the Biden’s DOJ position? Was it a rightful settlement or a political settlement that plays to Trump’s base?

It’s our money, we’re entitled to know.

She got what she deserved frankly good riddance. And fuck her mother too I hope she agonizes over her dead daughter for the rest of her miserable life.
