he very likely prevented them from reaching the members of congress that he is sworn to protect. that is the job of law enforcement literally. and as the video clearly shows, that officer did what was necessary under difficult and unpredictable circumstances. so giuliani s claim that the shooting was somehow orchestrated is frankly unhinged. if anything, babbitt was a victim of the big lie that giuliani helped create. that s what makes him tonight s absolute worst. but it s also ironic that rudy, rudy giuliani of all people, would side with a capitol insurrectionist over law enforcement, and that is coming up next. oming up nex t. oh! are you using liberty mutual s coverage customizer tool? sorry? well, since you asked. it finds discounts and policy recommendations, so you only pay for what you need. limu, you re an animal! who s got the bird legs now?
