To the editor: Ashli Babbitt was a part of a gaggle of traitors whose try to overthrow a legitimately elected authorities is related to the deaths of 5 federal legislation enforcement officers. Now the felon President Trump is agreeing to present Babbitt’s household $5 million (“Trump administration agrees to pay nearly $5 million to settle suit over Ashli Babbitt shooting in Capitol,” Could 20). Actually? Simply curious, how a lot cash is the administration planning on sending to the household of Thomas Matthew Crooks? In spite of everything, his assassination try resulted within the deaths of solely two folks.
I’m disgusted past phrases that my tax cash is getting used to reward the households of those that engaged in treason in opposition to the U.S.

To the editor: The barrage in opposition to reality in our present bizarro world continues with the abysmal information of a pending settlement within the Babbitt matter. Easy methods to fight this? My technique is to quietly state info, indeniable, about what truly occurred: On Jan. 6, a horrible, violent riot occurred, unsuccessfully trying to steal my vote. Babbitt was an lively participant. The officer who shot her was cleared of any wrongdoing by the U.S. lawyer’s workplace for the District of Columbia and by the Capitol Police.
Now, an opinion: Bear in mind the tasteless outdated authorized joke concerning the boy who killed his mother and father asking for mercy as a result of he’s an orphan? I’m not laughing now. Babbitt’s household doesn’t deserve a cent.
