Mic Drop Politics By Cullen Linebarger
When Republicans begin their investigation into the events surrounding January 6th, hopefully they will start with former United States Capitol Police (USCP) Lt. Tarik K. Johnson. He disclosed shocking details with The Epoch Times about the evacuation failures that day which likely played a role in Ashli Babbitt’s untimely death.
The Epoch Times interviewed Johnson over a period of days and released details of those interviews in their article Tuesday. Johnson had served with USCP for 22 years at the time of the January 6th riot.
Johnson makes clear the primary culprit for the evacuation failures lies with former USCP Assistant Chief Yogananda Pittman. On that fateful day, Pittman failed to respond to multiple urgent calls from Johnson to help.
When the call never came, Johnson proceeded with the evacuation anyway, almost certainly saving several lives in the process. Tragically, Ashli Babbitt still lost hers.
