On January 6, 2021, Trump supporters violently broke into the Capitol Building in an attempt to stop Joe Biden from being declared the winner of the presidential election. Feeding off the “Big Lie” spread by the loser of the election and his minions, Ashli Babbitt joined a mob hunting Nancy Pelosi and was shot to death when she climbed through a broken window despite warnings from the police guarding the Speakers Lobby. She was one of four protesters who died during Trump’s insurrection. One police officer also died as a result of the actions that day.
