Former President Donald Trump complained to guests at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, that Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt was shot by a "lunatic" for "no reason," even though she was shot by law enforcement after crawling through a broken window with a mob of savages behind her, looking for blood with a gallows erected outside.

Micki Witthoeft, Babbitt's mother, was arrested on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack for failure to comply with police after being given multiple warnings to get out of the street while protesting her daughter's death. The group did not have a permit and disobeyed orders from the police. Micki has a lot in common with her daughter. She should have complied.

"The officers and officials told the group to get out of the road or the group would be arrested," the police statement said. "The sidewalk was open. A woman in the group was given multiple warnings to get out of the road. Instead of getting out of the road, the woman refused to leave, turned around with her hands behind her back, and asked to be arrested."

Donald took to Truth Social just after the anniversary of the attack that he incited to lash out over her death even though he's shown no remorse for the Capitol riot.

"So an out-of-control wild man kills beautiful Ashli Babbitt, a true Patriot, who was the only one killed on Jan. 6," he wrote. "Her mother goes to protest her death and memory, and they arrest her mother. Something has to be done about these Communists and Marxists that are taking over and destroying our Country. Pray for Ashli, and her wonderful, brave mother!"

Trump echoed the same dangerous rhetoric at Mar-a-Lago on Saturday night, saying, "We're not gonna let this go on...What they've done to (J6) protesters."

Donald did not pardon the Jan. 6 defendants. Instead, he pardoned Steve Bannon, who ripped off his supporters in the Build the Wall scheme.

Special Counsel Jack Smith needs to work fast. Trump will incite another attack on our country in a New York minute.
