Rep. Andy Ogles Reveals He Heard Reporter Say ‘I Hope They Kill the Orange MF’ While Hiding from the Shooter During WHCD Assassination Attempt
Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles has said that he personally overheard a reporter wishing for President Donald Trump to be shot, while hiding from the shooter herself, during the assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.
The congressman said that while attendees were hiding, he heard a female reporter declare, “I hope they kill the orange MF.”
Ogles went public about what he heard during a conversation with podcast host Lynden Blake.
“There was a reporter, I probably shouldn’t say this, but I’m going to say it, there was a reporter in the room who was under a table, and when the shots went off, and everybody’s hiding, she said, ‘I hope they kill the orange MF,’” Ogles explained.
“That was a journalist in the room, who was hoping that when she stood up, the President of the United States would be dead,” he emphasized.
