Why Did House Democrats Pressure the U.S. Capitol Police to Provide Compensation and Special Treatment for Lt. Michael Byrd, Ashli Babbitt’s Killer?
Some may remember that three years ago Diamond and Silk spoke out about the blatant hypocrisy and miscarriage of justice surrounding the Ashli Babbitt killing. With President Trump’s transition in full motion, there may soon be a revisit of accountability for this brutal killing of a true American patriot. In Diamond’s words: “It Was Wrong!! It Was Wrong!!” (see video below)
According to internal emails reviewed by Just the News, Capitol Police and House Democrats collaborated to get Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who shot Ashli Babbitt dead during the Capitol disturbance on January 6, a promotion, housing aid, and financial advantages. Byrd received considerably more support than other cops, which raised concerns about accountability and partiality.
In contrast to the $3,000 awarded to other officers on duty that day, Byrd received $37,000 in retention bonuses. Through a GoFundMe that was supported by Democratic members, Capitol Police assisted Byrd in raising more than $160,000. Byrd was eventually elevated to captain in 2023 despite having a lengthy disciplinary record; attempts to promote him began in 2021.
