TUBERVILLE - Babitt "never charged with or convicted of a crime" because...um...she was dead, Tommy?

Killing Gallego’s resolution required just one senator to object, and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), a Trump ally who has, for years, played down the violence at the Capitol and was one of the first senators to join Trump’s “Stop the Steal” cause, was the one to do it.

“Ashli Babbitt earned these honors through her service to this nation,” he said, noting she had been deployed seven times. “Babbitt was never charged with or convicted of a crime; she has never been found guilty of anything by a jury of her peers.”
