A female reporter at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner openly hoped the gunman would assassinate President Trump, saying “I hope they kill the orange MF” as shots rang out and attendees dove for cover, according to a Congressman who was also present.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) revealed the shocking moment from inside the room during the latest attempt on Trump’s life.
“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 recounted. “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 urged.

The revelation comes as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen faces charges for storming the event armed with multiple weapons. One officer was shot but saved by his vest. Trump and officials were safely evacuated.
This incident fits a clear pattern of radicalization. As we detailed, leftists openly expressed disappointment that Trump survived the attempt on his life, while the shooter’s own tweets mirrored Democratic rhetoric.
Ogles also described how Students at a town hall event he participated in after the assassination attempt were still hostile toward him.

“My good-faith effort for civil discourse was met with shouts and name-calling. My side uses dialogue, the other side uses intimidation,” he wrote.
Ogles captured the bigger picture on X: “To the Left, it’s no longer a battlefield of ideas; it’s open warfare.”
