SATIRE CNN: 'Trump Voter Shoots Mentally Ill Man In Church'
The Babylon Bee ^ | January 2nd, 2020

Posted on 01/05/2020 6:12:47 PM PST by metmom

ATLANTA, GA—Churchgoer Jack Wilson shot and killed a mass shooter at West Freeway Church of Christ, preventing what could have been a much worse shooting.

But CNN reported on the event with the headline and caption "Trump voter shot a mentally ill man in a Texas church," causing some to question whether CNN might be a biased source of news.

"Once again we see that Trump voters are hopelessly wicked," said one somber anchor as footage came in of a shooting in a Texas church. "There is nothing they won't do to attack the oppressed, mentally ill community. All this man wanted to do was express his true identity and live out who he really is, and he was stopped by yet another psychotic Trump voter."

CNN hosts called for Texas to designate their churches "gun-free zones," so that the mentally ill can do whatever they please without being stopped by deranged conservatives.

Hopefully, the tongue in cheek nature of this article is enough to tip everyone off that it's The Bee.

I just hate putting the satire tag on a perfectly good headline that is all to plausible.

I know it’s satire but did they ever release the name of the shooter in that church? Was he a muzzie?

Actually, that’s what CNN and anyone who still supports that party now believe.

Ex-FBI agent murders a mentally ill man in cold blood at a so-called house of worship simply because he was shocked to find a gun in his pocket and was trying to empty out the bullets that accidentally hit a couple of evil, racist churchgoers.

I hate to say this, but I could actually see the Brian Stetler types at CNN saying something as absurd as this.
