Michael Leroy Byrd has revealed himself as being the killer Ashli Babbitt’s. Michael Leroy Byrd had his identity hidden until his softball, fawning NBC interview with Lester Holt tonight. Byrd, is a good actor, pretending to tear up during his interview with Holt, and not being pressed with any really legit questions
Now it’s time to bring the lawsuits against Michael Leroy Byrd and the Capitol police for their bloodthirsty, almost ISIS-K style murder.
The veteran US Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot defended his actions Thursday, telling NBC News that “I was doing my job” and insisting that Babbitt was a threat to lawmakers and congressional staff on that fateful day.
Lt. Michael Byrd came forward days after he was exonerated from any wrongdoing in Babbitt’s death by an internal use-of-force probe.
The 28-year veteran shot Babbitt, an Air Force veteran and devotee of the QAnon conspiracy theory, as she attempted to enter the Speaker’s Lobby via a broken door. The officer told NBC News’ Lester Holt that seconds before he fired his weapon, he had been screaming at Babbitt and her fellow rioters to “please stop” and “get back.”
“You’re ultimately hoping that your commands will be complied with,” Byrd said, “and unfortunately, they were not.”
Byrd also shed more light on the chaos of the day.
