Dupree also called out this tweet where Rep. Moore said, “I Understand it was a black police officer that shot the white female veteran. You know that doesn’t fit the narrative”:

The officer who shot Babbitt is reported “emotionally shattered” and it’s been reported there were Members of Congress behind the door he was guarding:

The USCP plainclothes officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt is said to be “emotionally shattered,” a source who knows him told me. “Nobody wants to shoot someone but those people breaking down the doors were 30 feet from Members still inside the House chamber,” the source said.
