What controversy? Babbett was a domestic terrorist bent on Trump inspired insurrection and the violent overthrow of the United States. She got just what she deserved for attempting, with her cohorts, to break into the inner sanctum of the Capital.
She deserved on mercy, and got none. Good riddance!
The winners write history.
Those people, to a man and woman, considered themselves heroes for their actions on 1/6.
They KNEW in their hearts that if they were successful, the nation would hail them as the heroes the imagined themselves to be.
Big "IF."
The winners write the history.
She was taking part in an attempt to overthrow the government of the US and install a dictator.
Whether the French Revolution, the Unabomber, or these people, they all consider themselves the heroes of their "righteous cause."
It is a human need to "be the hero" in their own story.
Do you think the Nazis operating the gas chambers thought of themselves as evil? No, they were heroes of the Reich.
If the Nazis had won, if the South and won, if the Trumpists had won, history would have been written differently but. the winners write history.
Until we get serious and start going after Trump and his associates these attempts to rewrite history will continue.
