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.

Ogles later posted the clip on his X account, writing, “To the Left, it’s no longer a battlefield of ideas; it’s open warfare.”

While I was in the room, a gunman tried to kill President Trump, cabinet members, and other elected officials in DC Saturday night.
