(RepublicanInformer.com)- An unarmed protestor was shot and killed on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, and this time, the left doesn’t have much to say about it. A woman, identified as Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, was shot by law enforcement.
Babbitt, a 35-year-old San Diego resident, was a staunch supporter of the president and attended the rally to support his fight for election integrity.
It remains unclear precisely why Babbitt was shot, but footage of the aftermath of the shooting has been shared widely online.

Babbitt was one of four people who died during the unrest in D.C., with three other people dying from “medical emergencies” according to Washington, D.C. Police Chief Robert Contee.
Contee also told the press that Babbitt was shit by the Capitol Police, but has yet to provide details surrounding why she was shot or where the shooting took place.
Video footage circulating online shows people attempting to get through a barricaded door before a single gunshot rings out among the crowd. Other pieces of footage appear to show police officers performing first aid on a woman who was lay on the floor and bleeding. It is understood that the video shows Babbitt on the floor dying, just before she was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
The tragic shooting of Babbitt has prompted a “Say Her Name” campaign, similar in style to the ones used by Black Lives Matter campaigners.
Kevin D Greeson was reportedly one of the others who died during the protests, a 55-year-old resident from Alabama who died of a heart attack in the Capitol.

And yet, Black Lives Matter has nothing to say. Why is that?
Scenes of violence were explicitly condemned by President Donald Trump on Wednesday – something that the Democrats never did when their voters were out burning down American cities.
However, President Trump’s calls for calm were deleted by Twitter and his account was suspended for 12 hours.
Could 2021 be off to a worse start?
