Kevin McCarthy told reporters that he believes the police officer who killed Ashli Babbitt was just doing his job.
This comes after Marjorie Taylor Greene said Ashli Babbitt was murdered.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) broke with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Thursday when asked about the death of Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by Capitol police during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, concluding she was not murdered, as Greene has said.
“I think the police officer did his job,” McCarthy told reporters when asked if he agreed with Greene that Babbitt was murdered.
Babbitt’s case came back into the spotlight this week when Greene compared her case with that of Tyre Nichols, the 29-year-old Black man who died after being beaten by officers in Memphis.
Donald Trump responded on Truth Social saying he disagreed with McCarthy.
Trump said, “ASHLI BABBITT WAS MURDERED!!!”
I totally disagree with the Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, in that the Police Officer “Thug,”
who has had a very checkered past to begin with, was not just “doing his job” when he shot and killed Great Patriot Ashli Babbitt at point blank range. Despite trying to keep him anonymous, shielded, and protected, this MISFIT proudly showed up on NBC Fake Nightly News “bragging” about the killing. He was not a hero but a COWARD, who wanted to show how tough he was. ASHLI BABBITT WAS MURDERED!!!
