Your calling it a public execution is a foul call.

In late December, the incoming vice-president, Kamala Harris, tweeted about her plans for the first hundred days of the Biden administration. She promised “to ensure Americans mask up, distribute 100M shots, and get students safely back to school”.
Among the thousands of responses was an angry tweet from a 35-year-old air force veteran in San Diego.
“No the fuck you will not!” Ashli Babbitt replied to Harris. “No masks, no you, no Biden the kid raper, no vaccines...sit your fraudulent ass down…we the ppl bitch!”
Babbitt wasn’t just tweeting. She had a plan to fly to Washington DC the very next week to take part in a major public demonstration demanding that Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, be sworn in as president.

Babbitt was a small business owner and self-described libertarian. She owned a San Diego-based business, Fowler’s Pool Service and Supply, according to California business records. Her LinkedIn profile lists her as the company owner since May 2017.
In one tweet, first reported by Bellingcat, Babbitt said that she had voted for Barack Obama before voting for Trump. In recent months, she had become a devoted adherent of conspiracy theories boosted by Trump and others.

Babbitt wrote that she believed the 6 January protest she was joining would be a pivotal moment for the country, and a fulfillment of some of the key events that QAnon believers had been expecting: “Nothing will stop us....they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours....dark to light!” she tweeted the day before the rally, referencing key QAnon slogans.
Travis View, the host of the QAnon Anonymous podcast, said posts showed that Babbitt was “100% a dedicated QAnon follower. She was not casual about it. She was deep into it.”
The scene at the Capitol
At that 6 January rally, Babbitt would listen as Trump urged his supporters to march over to the Capitol building as lawmakers were in the process of officially certifying the 2020 election results, and confirming Biden’s victory.
“You’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong,” Trump told them.
“It was amazing to get to see the president talk,” Babbitt said afterwards, in a Facebook video obtained by TMZ. “We are walking to the Capitol in a mob. There is a sea of nothing but red, white and blue patriots.” She was grinning.
At the Capitol, Babbitt would be among the crowds of Trump supporters who pushed and fought their way past the Capitol police and into the building itself, forcing lawmakers to flee or hide, and temporarily halting the certification of Biden’s election victory.
Take back our country. After the asshole lost an election. He wanted a coup to give him back the presidency. That was your traitor's reaction to his losing an election.
It's too bad Babbitt ended up in bumble-headed Trump-devined rabbit hole, it happens to who had seemed to be decent and balanced people before. Authoritarian demagogues as Trump do that to some.

A ‘Stop the Steal’ organizer, now banned by Twitter, said three GOP lawmakers helped plan his D.C. rally [...] Alexander, who organized the “Stop the Steal” movement, said he hatched the plan — coinciding with Congress’s vote to certify the electoral college votes — alongside three GOP lawmakers: Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Mo Brooks (Ala.) and Paul A. Gosar (Ariz.), all hard-line Trump supporters. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=160948282

Just to keep you up-to-date. Oh, one re the comment, all over the net, that Ali Alexander started the Stop the Steal movement for the 2020 election. That seems to not be quite true. See

‘Stop the Steal’ roots and Capitol attack
While “Stop the Steal” became connected with the 2020 election, Roger Stone started the campaign in 2016 during the presidential primaries, according to CNN. Stone’s 40-month prison sentence for obstructing a congressional investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election was commuted by President Donald Trump in July .. https://www.businessinsider.com/who-is-roger-stone-why-is-fbi-investigating-him-2017-3 .
In 2018, Alexander joined up with Stone and the “Stop the Steal” campaign during the 2018 midterms in Florida. Around that time, Alexander also changed his name — his birth name is Ali Akbar, according to Salon.
Alexander was born in 1984 or 1985, one of two children born to a Christian African-American mother, Lydia Dews,[14] and Muslim father,[3][5][1] whom he says was an exchange student from a "prominent family" in the UAE.[14] His father left when he was two years old, and his mother raised him by herself in Fort Worth, Texas. He graduated from Fossil Ridge High School, where he was a self-described "conservative political junkie."[14]
According to Alexander, he attended the Criswell College, a Southern Baptist institution of higher learning in Dallas, planning to become a minister, before transferring to the University of North Texas. Alexander later said in an interview, "I discovered I really can't do this whole college thing."[1]
Alexander went by his birth name until he renamed himself "Ali Alexander" partway through his career as an activist.[5][15] He identifies as Christian, black, and Arab.[6][16] As of November 2020, he lived in Texas.[5]
Alexander was convicted of felony property theft and credit card abuse charges in 2007 and 2008.[15][17][18]
Activism
Alexander has been variously described as a Republican operative,[19] far-right personality,[4] right-wing provocateur,[20] and part of the New Right. The New York Observer wrote in 2018 that Alexander "has a history of dog whistling to the nationalist wing of the MAGA movement".[18] Alexander has worked with other far-right personalities including Alex Jones, Roger Stone, Jacob Wohl, and Laura Loomer.[17]
