A congressman who attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner says that when gunfire broke out, he heard a journalist ducking for cover say she hoped President Donald Trump was shot and killed.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) recalled the incident to podcaster 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 killed the orange MF’,” Rep. Ogles said.

“That was a journalist in the room who was hoping that when she stood up, the president of the United States would be dead.”
The Tennessee congressman went on to say he had gone to the event with the spirit of hoping to have an open dialogue with members of the media.
“But when you have members of the press, openly enticing, hoping, talking about killing the chief executive officer of this country, again, Muslim Jew Hindu, I don’t care, that’s a problem. I hope they killed the orange MF.”
Rep. Ogles did not reveal the identity of the female reporter who made the comment.
