Mediaite reports:
During a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on the January 6 Capitol riot on Tuesday, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) had quite the characterization of the death of rioter Ashli Babbitt, while questioning FBI Director Christopher Wray. Babbitt was fatally shot by a Capitol police officer.
“Director Wray,” said Gosar. “Do you know who executed Ashli Babbitt?” “It’s disturbing,” said Gosar. “The Capitol police officer that did this shooting appeared to be hiding, lying in wait and then gave no warning before killing her.” Gosar repeated that Babbitt had been “executed.”
Read the full article. Gosar, who has attended QAnon and white supremacist events in recent months, has characterized the Capitol rioters as “peaceful patriots.”
