Breaking: Suspect Accused of Shooting Up ABC Affiliate After Kimmel Suspension Appears to Be Anti-Trump Leftist

Anibal Hernandez-Santana, the man suspected of shooting at an ABC affiliate studio in California, is reportedly an anti-Trump leftist.

In Sacramento on Friday, days after comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, Hernandez-Santana reportedly shot at the news station, according to Variety.

Nobody was injured.

The alleged shooter, 64, was later arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, negligent discharge of a firearm, and shooting into an occupied building.

While police are still investigating the motive, an X user with the same name often posted anti-Trump rhetoric, Variety reported.

“The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete,” one July post read.

“CBS+ caving, big law firms in DC, the subservients FBI and AG, university presidents stepping down, fan boys SCOTUS, public radio, ICE goons. We are going to have to ‘fight like hell’. Rules don’t apply if election was stolen. FIGHT!” another post read.

“Where is a good heart attack when we need it the most?? Please Join in my thoughts and prayers for the physical demise of our fearful leader,” a Thursday post read, one day before the shooting.

He is currently being held on a $200,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
