Rep. Paul Gosar/Twitter
Twitter users erupted in outrage Friday morning after right-wing Republican Congressman Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona posted on Twitter a photo of himself wearing a #ForAshli wristband honoring deceased Capitol insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt.
Gosar, who has referred to the Jan. 6 rioters as "peaceful patriots," is among those who've attempted to martyrize Babbitt — demanding to know the identity of the officer who fatally shot her as she attempted to crawl through a broken window outside the Speakers Lobby.
Here's how Twitter reacted to Gosar's photo:

ISIS and Al Qaeda also believe that their members who die while carrying out terrorist acts are martyrs. https://t.co/S5DO3gT1Mv— Travis Akers (@Travis Akers) 1627634966.0
Gosar is proudly declaring he’s a national security threat. At the least, he should be put on the no-fly list. https://t.co/EGHKhw7uFY— June Day (@June Day) 1627616459.0
