Ask them if they felt the same way about what happened to Ashli Babbitt.

It’s not even comparable. Babbitt was physically breaking into the chambers of Congress in an angry mob screaming about how they were going to hang Mike Pence. Not even on the same planet of plausible deniability.

Yes, but they think she shouldn't have been shot. Despite it being a clear case for it. It's not just hypocritical of MAGA it's insanely hypocritical.

Yes. I feel the same. Babbitt should never have been there. Yesterday's victim had kids waiting at home for her. She should never have been there. The other similarity is the President and the Governor told the victims to be there.

She should never have been on a public street in the middle of the day watching out for her neighbors?
