U.S. President Donald Trump labeled Cole Tomas Allen, the 31-year-old suspect in a shooting during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, as a ‘pretty sick guy’ amid revelations about the suspect's ‘anti-Christian’ views. Trump commended law enforcement for their quick reactions, noting that Allen had been flagged to law enforcement by family members. The shooting took place at a gala attended by high-profile administration officials, and the suspect’s writings reportedly included claims that resisting oppression is ‘not Christian behaviour; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes’. Trump emphasized that the incident reflects the increasing dangers posed by ‘hate speech of the Democrats’. He lamented that societal changes had led Allen, previously a Christian believer, to espouse such disturbing ideologies. The investigation continues to unfold as law enforcement assesses the implications of his manifesto.
