You do realize that we do not know yet who she was...?
I suggest you stop throwing that word around.

She was wearing a Trump flag as a cape and trying to break in a barricaded window.

And this is why this was allowed to happen...

This argument is kinda BS. They flipped GA blue for the first time since '92. It may be narrow but the GoP lost a shitload of ground there.

Certainly wouldn't underestimate the GOP's roach-like capacity to survive, but this election and the aftermath are not good for them. This is an act of desperation not strength.

The distinction isn't significant. To treat the GOP as if it's not going to try to bounce back because of 2020 is insanity. Pure insanity.

Several outlets are reporting it there's also another Trump supporter in critical condition after falling off trying to break in.

No, there's video... she's a Trump supporter, who was trying to make entry through a door with broken window panes.

There was an interview where a person who claims he "stomed the capitol" with her had blood on his hands and in another video you can see he was inside with her and they were saying get back but she didn't.

Anyway my care about this is...null. A terrorist got shot and died.

In Trump they trust.

Hopefully that woke a couple of them up. He isn't their savior and not worth dying for.

Oh well, I am mostly reading BBC.
Still calling out "traitors" is quite ridiculous. Brings to mind various not so nice events of the 20th century.

Mike Pence, not Trump, ordered the D.C. National Guard to be deployed. Trump did not give the order. https://t.co/WC0LNPB2X2

Well we now know. This is obvious for many reasons, but dereliction of duty by the President.

They were willing to die from COVID for him, I don't see how this is meaningfully different.

I feel bad for the woman who died. The same way I feel bad for the people who drank bleach at Trump's suggestion.

It's tragic just by virtue of how preventable it was. Condolences to her immediate family, I suppose.

Twitter just locked Trumps account for 12 hours!

ABC News reports that Twitter has locked Trump's twitter account for at least the next 12 hours.
About damn time.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I don't feel bad for a woman that joined an insurrection and tried to storm the Capitol building being shot.

Ud think Capitol Hill had better security, unless *tinfoil hat intensifies*

But its more likely it was just incompetence by the police chief.

There's video of officers letting people past barricades, and taking selfies inside the Capitol building with Nazis.

She was confirmed shot by an officer while charging a barricaded door.

NY post has the video. Not linking as per forum rules.

From the video, she's wrapped in a trump flag trying to push past a barricaded door.
