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.

I guess the Insider didn’t see the photos of the gender confused shooter he posted of himself on Instagram.

not to put too fine a point on it, but "transsexual leftist illegal alien" and "18-year-old male resident of Uvalde" are NOT mutually exclusive.

There are two different pics of a crossdressing male being circulated and one of them is not the shooter.
I swear this crap is done on purpose so the media can twist the narrative back on Republicans who fail to triple check the veracity of the information.

If he’d been an illegal, he probably wouldn’t have acted like that (re. quote in my previous comment).

Oh man, I thought of something so funny it would make readers spew coffee on their keyboards and I can’t post it because of the gravity of this story and the fact that I have somehow acquired scruples.
Dang it.

Except, unlike Obama, we have no reason to believe at this point that this guy was an illegal.

no offense but your hand-wringing is a waste of time.
leftists don't consider lying a big deal. and independents are way more concerned by the price of gas.

Too late. I have seen the pictures of him primping in his bedroom dressed in a little tennis skirt with pleats.
Either he was a Transgender or an occasional Transvestite.
One o the other.

article:
"the suspected shooter was a "transsexual leftist illegal alien." Yep. That explains a lot; it takes a sick foreign mind to kill innocent children. It is totally against human instinct. We humans are programmed to protect children. That is the way God made us.
