Conservatives Want Rioter Ashli Babbitt To Be A Martyr So Bad, But…The Facts
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Stephanie Keith / Getty The same people who have made a hero out of Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenouse have been trying to make a martyr out of Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt, but a closer look at Babbitt’s life—before she was shot and killed while joining fellow insurrectionists in forcing her way into a barricaded room in the Capitol building on Jan. 6—indicates that her loyal advocates are terrible judges of character.

Babbitt and Norris’ boyfriend apparently met at work and that’s where their affair began. “He...
QAnon Shaman’s Lawyer Is Big Mad Trump Pardoned Lil Wayne But Not His Client

Jacob Chansley is the real name of the QAnon Shaman who is now naturally citing mental issues for his obsession with Cheeto Trump and to excuse his behavior in the Capitol and in general. This shouldn’t be surprising since previously Mr. Shaman said Trump pardoning Tunechi made him question his loyalty. Oh, that did it? Reports Raw Story: The attorney representing Jacob Chansley, a.k.a., the “QAnon Shaman,” made a rather unorthodox p...
