Ashli Babbitt Was a Traitor Who Died From Terminal Stupidity
QAnon adherent followed Trump cult to her death
Ashli Babbitt, a San Diego, Calif. resident and Air Force veteran, was the first person killed in the Trump terrorist attack. She was shot in the neck when she refused police orders and entered a broken window in the Capitol building. She was a traitor who fought against her own country and died because she bought into ridiculous conspiracy theories. Like Herman Cain, who refused to wear a mask in the middle of a deadly pandemic, she followed the Trump cult to her death.
An ardent conspiracy theorist
It didn’t take me long to figure out Babbitt was a conspiracy theorist. One of the first stories mentioned her saying “the storm is here” in a tweet. The storm is a phrase used by the insane-beyond belief QAnon conspiracy theory. The storm refers to a time when QAnon followers think that Trump will order the round up and execution of the Satanic elites who drink children’s blood. (Yes, really.) Trump signaled to this insane conspiracy group that he’s in on it, when he used the phrase “The calm before the storm,” during a White House press conference. The FBI has listed QAnon as a national security threat. Babbitt is one of many QAnon followers who’ve committed acts of violence.
