What happened in an Annapolis newsroom today was absolutely horrific.
As I mentioned earlier, the shooter has been identified. Despite many’s fears that this may have been a politically motivated attack, it has now come to light that the shooter was taking sick “revenge” on the paper after having his lawsuit against them dismissed.
President Trump has tweeted the following about it:
Prior to departing Wisconsin, I was briefed on the shooting at Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Thank you to all of the First Responders who are currently on the scene.

The media, however, is trying to turn this into something.
Reporters thought THIS was the appropriate thing to do:
“Can you please talk to us about the dead reporters in Annapolis?”
“Do you have any words of condolence for the families, Mr. President?”
“Why are you walking away?”

Wow.
What was he supposed to do? Shout across the lawn about the people who lost their lives?
Listen to this unhinged mob.
They don’t want his reaction, which he already made public. They want to grandstand in the wake of a horrific massacre and still-unfolding investigation.

Exactly.

Shocker.
He had already released a statement. https://t.co/gaiFlHQNdx

But it wasn’t enough for them. They wanted to accuse him of “walking away.”
Shameful.
