CNN anchor Jake Tapper took extra care to properly identify transgender mass shooter Robin Westman, who killed two children and injured 17 others before taking his own life.
The cowardly attack took place on Wednesday morning, when Westman set his sights on the Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, and his gender confusion created plenty of confusion with the left eager to blame an angry white man.
But Tapper ensured the use of proper pronouns, as pointed out by U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas).
“A deranged killer slaughters innocent children. CNN’s Jake Tapper: But did we use the right pronouns? Let’s not misgender them. Babies are DEAD and this is how CNN responds. This is how broken the Left has become,” Hunt posted on X, including a clip of Tapper’s egregious effort.

The irony here is that the gunman, whose birth name was Robert Westman, published his manifesto online before his unconscionable act and disavowed being transgender, writing, “I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain-washed myself.”
Hard to believe they’re arguing over “He” or “She” after the deranged lunatic disavowed his own trans status.

Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) had what may be the best response to the trend of transgender mass shooters, posting on X, “When you ‘affirm’ mental illness instead of treating it, people get hurt.”
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on the social media platform X:

Normalizing mental illness has been a disaster of epic proportions. The Dems have been on the wrong side of every single issue since 2008. When they control the narrative, more people die!

This is the current state of MSM. More worried about insulting a d*ead homicidal maniac than the victims and their families.

You are dealing with forces of darkness and should not expect better.
