No, Ashli Babbitt was not executed. And Paul Gosar is not connected to reality.
She was at the front of a violent mob that was literally breaking down the door to the room where members of the House were hiding in fear for their lives - from that same mob.

On January 6th, that mob injured at least 140 cops, chanted “HANG MIKE PENCE” (someone even built a noose outside the Capitol) and included some people who talked openly about wanting to shoot the House Speaker. 
And at the moment Ashli Babbitt was shot, the three people next in line for the Presidency were in the US Capitol. Surrounded by a violent mob which had breached nearly every security perimeter of the building.
Some people are committed to defending these criminals, perhaps because of some sick sense of identity/kinship that they value more than the law. Or so full of entitlement that they don’t think rules or lies should apply to them or to people who they consider their brethren.
But there are a LOT of places the Government protects which will get people killed if they try to violently break in.
Try barging violently onto a nuclear sub base. Nobody cares that you say “but I’m a taxpayer!”

Even though her actions in trying to climb through that compromised window is what caused her death, I feel bad that she’s dead. She was a human being. She has a family who is mourning.
But this is not somebody else’s fault.
