Following Tuesday's mass shooting at a Texas elementary school, Arizona GOP congressman Paul Gosar spread a false and transphobic claim that the suspected shooter was a "transsexual leftist illegal alien."
Gosar tweeted the claim even though authorities had already identified the suspect as an 18-year-old male resident of Uvalde, where the shooting occurred.
As of Tuesday evening, the GOP representative has not commented on his tweet, which was deleted about two hours after being published.
This false claim has been proliferating on social media with photos of a transgender person unrelated to the attack. The images appear to have been taken off the Reddit account of a transgender artist.
Among the social media accounts that shared such images is a Facebook page called "North Florida Patriots."
The page has since corrected its post, with its operators stating that they "won't be lectured" by people looking to make the shooting a political issue and turn it into a "gun grab."
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has identified the suspected shooter as an 18-year-old male who lived in the Uvalde community. Authorities say he shot his grandmother before heading to the school with two military-style rifles he bought on his 18th birthday.

Fog of war. Bullied, violent, Mom a druggie, no word of her citezenship, he may be an anchor baby. Said “Uncle” recently took him hunting. Wonder if uncle is with the cartels or maybe even an eff-bee-eye trainer. Timing of these seems related to political opportunity.
The left created this confused person.
Intentionally. This is what they want - a destruction of children, society and America.
Babies died and the left celebrates this.
“check to see if he was an “anchor baby?”
I wondered that myself. That would make him an illegal in my eyes.
Who is surprised that this was exactly the purpose of hiring Jankowicz and creating the Disinformation Governance Board?
I think the photo of the person in the Coca Cola shirt has been shown to be someone other than the shooter. The photo above it, with the very long hair and short skirt, I’m less sure of.
Has the media called him a "white Hispanic" yet, like they did George Zimmerman?
It is a different person in the coke shirt. He’s still alive. The top pic on Instagram posted is the shooter.
That status will be determined by his grandmother’s birth and or citizenship. Do we know if the grandmother is a U.S. citizen?
The media cracks me up. Whether he was a tranny or not, he was still a male, was always going to be a male, and died a male.
Isn't the media guilty of violating its own rules on using the person's preferred "pronouns"?
The Washington Compost??? Really???
Gosar tweeted the claim even though authorities had already identified the suspect as an 18-year-old male resident of Uvalde, where the shooting occurred.
Arizona GOP Congressman's claim is NOT refuted by Gosars statement. Both may be true.
Why do GOPers always remind me of Wile E. Coyote?
It’s both. Trolls sowing confusion for those of low perception to spread around.
That appears to be the only thing that was incorrect.🤔
Well,he was definitely a cross dresser.🤔
They were big enough to fight back. Grade school kids were not.
A mental case regardless of designation.
Washington Post does not qualify as a valid news source.
Saw the pictures on another thread. His/her/it’s Instagram.
