The former US President is again downplaying the Capitol Riot that took place on January 6th, referring to the incident as an unfortunate event while calling for the attacker of Ashli Babbitt to be named.
Trump spoke at a recent Press Conference that was held at his resort in Bedminister on Wednesday.
Here, the former Commander in Chief spoke about the severely unfair forms of treatment that his supporters receive while calling out how Antifa supports with a special mention on how ‘nothing happens to them or to the officer that attacked slain support and former Veteran Ashli Babbitt.
According to local media outlets, Trump was reported as stating, “The officer who shot Ashli Babbitt dead, boom, right through her head, just boom. There was simply no reason for that behavior,” he added.
In the same way, Trump put forward his complaints regarding how the police officer that killed Ashli Babbitt still had not been publicly named and that was a major concern. Ashli Babbitt was shot while trying to make an entry into the Capitol building’s Speaker’s Lobby.
The former US President added how a bipartisan report from the House of Senate regarding the violent January 6th Riot blamed him for ‘no reason.’
“When the report initially came out, a few weeks back, there was no mention of my name,” he added. However, sources claim that his name is actually mentioned at least 44 times.
