“The correspondence dinner shooter wrote an anti-Christian manifesto”
TL;DR ·Though Donald Trump claimed the manifesto was anti-Christian, the suspect actually wrote as a believer.
WHAT WE FOUND
Hello there! I am happy to help you get to the bottom of this. While it is true that President Donald Trump claimed on Sunday that the suspect had written an anti-Christian manifesto , actual reports on the document's content say otherwise. The suspect, Cole Allen, actually wrote his manifesto as a Christian believer and even cites the Bible to justify the attack . Although the President called him a 'sick guy' who 'hates Christians,' the evidence shows the manifesto was not actually anti-Christian in nature . The shooting occurred on April 25, 2026, near the security area for the White House Correspondents' Dinner . I hope that helps clarify things for you!
