Mickey Whithoff's Personal Experience and Demand for Justice

Mickey Whithoff's daughter, Ashley Babbitt, was shot and killed during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. She believes that her daughter and others who participated in the protest deserve a fair investigation into the events of that day. Whithoff emphasizes that her daughter, a military veteran, went to the Capitol to express her grievances against what she saw as government overreach. She relocated to Washington, D.C., and organizes nightly vigils outside the D.C. jail to draw attention to what she views as the unjust treatment of January 6 defendants. Whithoff also criticizes the Capitol police for their lack of accountability and calls for a thorough assessment of their actions on that day.
