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.”

Well, yeah, McCarthy is right. Byrd was doing his job, As a hitman for Nancy Pelosi.
I hope that officer is no longer anywhere near the Capitol.

What a damned shame.
The damned fool just shot himself in the foot, and after he had just started making some believe he was going to be alright.

You got on the wrong side of this one, Kev. But what about the J6 prisoners then who continue to waste away in the DC jail?

Right, and what exactly was his job? And who was he doing it for?
The ’Gestapo’ were only doing their jobs too.

Have a cop gun down an unarmed 110lb woman trying to rob a 7 11 without any warning or threat to life and limb and try to call that a righteous kill. Guess where the street LEO will end up. McCarthy proving exactly what he is.

Let's flip "races" of the cop and victim... would you still think he, "did his job," Kevin?

Deleted. Bad language in any form is not permitted. I suppose not allowing a doctor to give aid to her and perhaps save her life was also the capital police doing their job.

Stop Kevin if you like your new job but you just might step in it proving Matt Gatz was right to boycott your nomination. Be careful you are supporting a murderer of an unarmed innocent woman. FKM

Oh yea Kev, cause Ashley Babbitt, a United States Veteran, was armed and was shooting the joint up. She aimed her weapon at everyone and needed to be stopped. Byrd is a hero....except the "hero" shot an unarmed person. Who was not a threat to anyone, Not even to officer Byrd who was hiding by the stair well, and as soon as he shot Ashley (say her name!) hid back under the stairs so no one could see him. What a guy, Byrd along with all the other capitol police who know the truth, and will not stand up for truth are nothing but cowards. Probably rich cowards, but still cowards. Who do have to answer to God Almighty, for eternity

Ignorance of the circumstances. The question was a trap. Set by Democrats. This was intended to cost him the support of his own party.

Kevin has a long long record of protecting the status quo. He never stood up against election fraud, never stuck his neck out for his POTUS when he was under fire for four years. He could care less about Ashli. He will stick up for those thugs called Capitol Hill police.

At least he could have said he has no comment until the incident is investigated with a written report to Congress.

This is such a strange comment or opinion from Speaker McCarthy. Just as the lack of effort by republicans, other than a very few, to remind people of the ongoing persecution of some January 6 “invaders”.

Expect a "clarification" of what he "really" meant in 3-2-1.
An evil RINO sniveling coward will always be an evil RINO sniveling coward. Sadly, based on the Republi-Can't leadership in both houses of Congress, that apparently is the job description for those positions these days!!!!!

Did you see the video Kevin? Shooting randomly into a crowd is not a police officer's job, Kevin. That job goes to the palace guards for a dictator. What is wrong with you? Who do you work for?

That is NOT OK. Shooting an unarmed woman for, at MOST, trespassing is NOT acceptable. And McCarthy is dead wrong on this. This is a reason to not trust this man.

According to Kevin, killing an unarmed woman is A-OK with him. And he's ok as Speaker. Yeah right. He's thrown Ashli under the bus, at first chance, he will throw us under the same bus.

Wrong non-answer. Take a side Kevdogg. You know she was no imminent lethal threat to anyone and that the cop that shot her was out of the line of duty by drawing his weapon and shooting her. Let justice be done. You lost a lot of supporters on this one. There is always time for a re-do on this. Better do it.

Perhaps the question was a set-up, but he should have known that question would come up sooner or later and had a decent response. The answer he gave was unacceptable.

McCarthy just canceled out every attaboy he has accomplished since he became Speaker. If that's all that veterans are worth to him, don't be surprised if nobody volunteers to defend this broken country and its stupid communist government for a long time to come.

This will forever taint the face of Kevin McCarthy. And not speaking out about American citizens held in jail 2 years without trial, and now held for 18 mos. longer than anything they could have been convicted of. This has surrounded you with a very foul smell that will follow you the rest of your days, McCarthy.

So far, the only killing that took place on January 6th was by Capitol police officer Mike Byrd shooting Ashli Babbitt to death. Ashli was an unarmed 100 pound female military veteran. The fact that Byrd was never even charged for this crime shows how lawless and perverted the DC swap is. I am flabbergasted that McCarthy should say something so stupid.

He should watch the tape, assuming he hasn't. Regardless, since when is it the job of Cap Cops to use deadly force on an unarmed woman, she wasn't even waving a MAGA cap in the air.
Again, all he has to say is, "We are investigating the investigation, and will review the tapes AS THEY are also presented to the public for a true hearing on Jan 6... including how it's possible to have confined in prisons for two+ years without trial, made bankrupt, poor "legal" assistance and other travesties of "justice."

I agree. This was really disappointing response by the Republican leadership. It was cold blooded murder. Shooting an unarmed protester with no warning at all, regardless of how the press and the Democrats pimp it out, is murder, not a legit shooting.

McCarthy's true colors will continue to come out. It can't be helped. Believe them when you see them. He ain't changed; he's learned how to dupe the base, that's all. If he stays in power long enough, he'll be just like Mitch; he won't give a flip about the base or the American people as a whole. RINOs gotta RINO.

Just when I was starting to think McCarthy was gonna be ok. The cop— an overdressed clown— killed that unarmed girl without warning. He’d previously left his service sidearm behind in a toilet by mistake. Politicians— they must have an errant gene; missing the one for truth.

I walked up the long concrete Capital stairway and into the front entrance. I looked around at people talking in small groups, I spotted a few police by off in the recesses. No one shot me, no one pointed a gun at me, no one even gave me the evil eye. Of course, that was 1965.

McCarthy has always been off and on about Jan 6. From the start. First, he said it was all Trump's fault. Then he didn't. I am surprised that he didn't keep it zipped on this. Winning streak gone.

Kevin McCarthy most likely did not want to anger the Capitol Police who protect him. But McCarthy certainly tripped over his tongue when he made his remarks about the killing of Babbitt, as there has not, as far as is known, even been any sort of a competent investigation into that killing, that is routine they days all over the USA anytime a law enforcement officer kills a member of the public.

McCarthy, now safe in his position, shows he could care less about the two dead ladies murdered by the CapPolice. We at least know now he has no intention of intervention in the plight of the political prisoners still in jail thanks to Pelosi. Oh wait, they are McCarthy's political prisoners now. Does he realize that reality yet?
