Lt. Michael Byrd, the Capitol Hill Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt, broke his silence and confirmed his identity during an interview with MSNBC’s Lestor Holt on Thursday.
Babbitt’s husband responded to Byrd’s interview in an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show.
“I don’t even want to hear him talk about how he’s getting death threats and he’s scared,” Aaron Babbitt said. “I’ve been getting death threats since Jan. 7 — two, three, five, 10 a day — and all I did on Jan. 6 was become a widower. So, you’re going to have to suck it up, bud, and take it.”
