SAY HER NAME! The Real & ONLY Victim Of January 6 Was A True Conservative Patriot

Aaron Babbitt, the husband of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot to death by a U.S. Capitol Police officer throughout the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, told Newsmax his goal is to keep his wife's name before the American public a year after her death in the Capitol building.

"I woke up this morning much like I woke up Jan. 7 of 2021, the day after Ashli's death," Babbitt declared Thursday on "Greg Kelly Reports." "It still feels the same. I stayed busy with my full-time day job. And then my full-time Ashli job, so I've had a lot to keep me occupied today."

His "Ashli job," he stated, is not letting the public forget about his wife, the 35-year-old Air Force veteran who was the only person to die on the scene of the attacks in the Capitol building that day, though other deaths, including those of some protesters outside the building and police officers who died later, were attributed to the events.

Over the past several months, several on the political Right have pointed to Babbitt's case as proof that the characterization of Jan. 6, 2021, as an "insurrection" in which the Right did all the harm is grossly inaccurate.

Back in October 2021, former President Donald Trump recorded a video marking what would have been Ashli's 36th birthday. In it, he advocated for her and her family, stating he was offering his "unwavering support." Without delving into the specifics of her death, he announced there "was no reason Ashli should have lost her life that day," according to an account by Forbes.

Trump also pressed the Department of Justice to further investigate the case, which it closed last April after finding insufficient evidence supporting any criminal prosecution.

For his part, her husband announced he never tires of talking about Ashli and does so every chance he gets.

"I love every opportunity I can to do so because that's what keeps her name above the surface," he stated. "Ashli just loved life. ... There wasn't an obstacle that was too big for her to get through and get to get over. She just loved the challenge."

Babbitt announced he is preparing a lawsuit against the government because he thinks Ashli's shooting wasn't justified and that the officer who shot her, Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, should be held accountable.

Meanwhile, Babbitt's mother stood on the Capitol steps Thursday and claimed her daughter was exercising a legitimate right to protest when she was killed.

"My daughter was an amazing, energetic, independent, powerful woman. I miss her every day," Micki Witthoeft announced through tears as members of Congress gathered inside to remember the first anniversary of the attacks.
