GOP Rep. Paul Gosar spread a baseless transphobic rumor that the Uvalde school shooting suspect was a 'transsexual leftist illegal alien'
Insider ^ | May 25, 2022 | Matthew Loh

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.

Finally, someone who understands that in today’s social media world you can’t un-ring a bell so to speak. It doesn’t really matter if the shooter was a qwheer leftist cross-dressing lunatic or not, the first story out there is what will be remembered.

Social media is a cesspool. For most users it is a crutch for the weak-minded who need constant approval of their self-worth.

If he was bullied, it wasn't enough, because it made him more violent instead of scared or docile. Another point, if he was bullied, why didnt he take his revenge on those who bullied him?

insane is insane, don't try and wrap your head around it. Its insane.

someone had to know this person wasnt right in the head. Wheres the karen- HOA when you need them?

Per the article...

The Post reported that Ramos shot the students the day after his classmates graduated.

He had dropped out of school as he was bullied.

The radical leftist policies have created a bunch of entitled, angry warped generation. This is Biden’s America and have created the divisive atmosphere for all this crap…it’s time to hold them accountable for their divisive leftist rhetoric.

Is this a real, not photo shopped, pix of the shooter?

How can anyone be sure about what we are viewing, with ability to manipulate every thing on the net?

“Most wanted him dead. Forensics/profilers would have preferred he were alive.”

Gays would do themselves a favor by not flaunting their gayness among the non-gay population.

Did anyone check to see if he was an “anchor baby?” An “anchor baby” is one born to illegal aliens in the US. - just wondering.
