The gunman, described as a transgender individual who killed two children and injured several others, had weapons bearing messages that clearly stated &#8220;kill Donald Trump,&#8221; indicating his hatred towards the former president.However, ABC News reportedly downplayed this by saying &#8220;the name of president Trump&#8221; was written on the weapon, which gave the false impression that the shooter was a Trump supporter.

Images of the shooter&#8217;s weapons circulated widely, displaying messages that clearly indicated his motives. Notably, one weapon had the phrase &#8220;Kill Donald Trump&#8221; written on it-information ABC only partially shared by stating that &#8220;the name of President Trump&#8221; appeared on a weapon. This phrasing implied the shooter supported President Trump, when in fact he despised him and wanted him dead. Outkick founder Clay Travis reposted ABC&#8217;s clip on social media platform X, condemning it as a deliberate falsehood. Other users also pointed out how ABC&#8217;s selective reporting could mislead viewers into believing the shooter was a Trump supporter-a narrative seemingly intended by ABC. The gunman was not a right-wing extremist loyal to Trump but rather a disturbed leftist targeting innocent Christian children. Despite clear evidence available online revealing the truth about his motives, ABC chose to distort facts, continuing its pattern of bias against the president and spreading misinformation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2479884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ABC-Report.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[7261,62147,62164,32490,37123],"class_list":["post-2479883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-abc","tag-catholic-school-shooter","tag-intentional-lie","tag-media-bias","tag-trump-supporter"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ABC-Report.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2479883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2479883"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2479883\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2479887,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2479883\/revisions\/2479887"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2479884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2479883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2479883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2479883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
