Showing Original Post only (View all)Air Force to provide funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt [View all]
https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5474030-air-force-to-provide-funeral-honors-to-ashli-babbitt/The U.S. Air Force will provide Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt with military funeral honors, reversing a Biden-era decision that denied her familys request, according to a legal group that has represented her family.
Judicial Watch, the conservative legal group, on Wednesday made public a letter from Under Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Lohmeier, extending an offer to allow the special funeral procedures to take place.
I understand that the familys initial request was denied by Air Force leadership in a letter dated February 9, 2021, Lohmeier wrote in the Aug. 15 letter shared by Judicial Watch. However, after reviewing the circumstances of Ashlis death, and considering the information that has come forward since then, I am persuaded that the previous determination was incorrect.
He additionally extended an invitation to her mother and husband to meet him at the Pentagon, so he may offer his condolences.
The Hill requested comment from the Pentagon regarding the veracity of the letter.

She was a traitor and terrorist in the name of Trumpism. That makes her a hero in their eyes.

That's probably next, followed by the inevitable statue and memorial garden.
