Dozens of armed militiamen gathered at the Kentucky state Capitol Saturday in a menacing echo of Wednesday’s Capitol riot, though they did not attack the building. They sang songs and made speeches against Gov. Andy Beshear, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

The group stood in silence for a minute and walked around the building to honor Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran and conspiracy theorist who stormed the U.S. Capitol and was shot and killed during the ensuing violence, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.

Beshear responded on Twitter, “Three days after domestic terrorists attacked our U.S. Capitol, there was a militia rally in Frankfort. They brought zip ties. We will not be intimidated. We will not be bullied. America is counting on the real patriots. Those who condemn hate and terror when they see it.”

I left a video on another post you really need to see. It is very powerful. These morons actually want to hurt someone like it’s their duty.

Just like Goebbels condemned hate and terror? Aggravated breaking and entering is a crime. She was hardly an innocent bystander like the cop they murdered.
