Trump DISHONORS All Military Members! - Glenn Kirschner [View all]
On January 6, 2021, Ashley Babbitt was a rioter and insurrectionist who was shot as she attempted to climb through a busted window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker's Lobby as members of Congress were being evacuated from the U.S. Capitol. While she was in the process of committing crimes by trying to breach the Capitol, she was shot and killed.
Even though she was an Air Force veteran, Babbitt was rightfully denied military honors at her funeral . . . until now. The Air Force just reversed course (undoubtedly at the direction of Donald Trump), and will now give Babbitt full military honors.
This horrific decision DISHONORS all of the men and women of the United States military, each of whom took an oath to protect the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. - Glenn Kirschner - 08/28/2025.
