Former President Barack Obama claimed Sunday “details about the motives” of accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter Cole Allen were still unknown despite the gunman confessing he was targeting top Trump officials in a raving manifesto.
“Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all of us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy,” Obama wrote on X Sunday afternoon.
“It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.”

Only an idiot would say something like that. Maybe Hussein is jealous.
Hey Mr. Sotero, STFU!
There’s no one on our side to push back against this absurd nonsense?
Who are “we” Brack?
Couldn’t find his ass with a flashlight.

And the narrative emerges
We still don't have the Tennessee shooter manifesto, do we?
Questions of motive are annoying to me. I really only care about laws broken and law enforcement. Couldn’t care if he was motivated by hate or by insanity. I dont have a problem with police looking for motive, but the ‘lack of a motive’ argument is just there to distract from the crime.
Motive to me would seem more important if you only have circumstantial evident of a crime.
According to the left, blacks can do no wrong. Both the shooter and Obama are black according to the Democrat one drop rule.
This guy is retarded.
I wonder how many Hollywood types have diddled his children.
Plenty of idiots believe him.
I think Cole thought he’d be a rock star. Sucks to be him.
“The first count is attempted assassination of the president of the United States. This count is punishable by up to life in prison.”
“The second count is interstate transportation of a firearm to commit a felony. This is punishable by up to 10 years in prison”
“The third count is discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, which is punishable by a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of ten years, a maximum of life, and the 10 years is consecutive to any other sentence imposed.”
We don’t have the real Barack Hussein Obama birth certificate either, touché, Mr. X Presidente!
You were right the first time.
This should surprise noone. Obama is as dishonest and corrupt as the day is long and will say and do anything to push the Leftist narrative.
It’s not unbelievable, Obamalamadingdong’s entire mission is to confuse people and distract them from reality so he can do as much damage to America as possible.
