Just when we were starting to really like Kevin McCarthy, he defends the cold-blooded killer who shot Ashli Babbitt dead in the US Capitol.
During questioning on Thursday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was asked if he thought Ashli Babbitt was murdered by Officer Mike Byrd?
McCarthy answered the reported, “I think the officer was doing his job.”
Apparently, shooting a 100-pound female Trump supporter in the neck without warning is “doing his job.”

President Trump did not agree.
Revolver News reported on Trump’s reaction on Truth Social.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported:
on January 6, 2021, US veteran Ashli Babbitt was shot in cold blood by Capitol Police Lt. Mike Byrd in the US Capitol.
In July 2021 The Gateway Pundit was first to confirm that Lt. Mike Byrd was Ashli Babbit’s killer.
Lt. Byrd killed Ashli Babbitt in cold blood on Jan. 6 in the US Capitol.
Another woman and Trump supporter, Rosanne Boyland, was killed by Capitol Police outside the US Capitol.
Ashli Babbitt was gunned down in cold blood inside the US Capitol. She was 98 pounds and posed no threat and had no weapons.
And now we also know that Congress was evacuated on Jan. 6 due to a pipe bomb threat. It was not because of Trump supporters walking the halls.
In August 2021, Lt. Mike Byrd was exonerated for killing Ashli Babbitt in cold blood. He gave no warning, he ran from the scene of the crime, he shot an unarmed woman dead who posed no threat.
And now he walks free.
And we also know that Lt. Mike Byrd was reportedly NEVER INTERVIEWED before he was exonerated for killing Ashli Babbitt.
Judicial Watch released documents that revealed the US Air Force spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to House Mike Byrd in a “distinguished visitor suite” after he murdered Ashli Babbitt in cold blood.
And Kevin McCarthy is defending this cold-blooded murder.
