Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement erupted on Sunday after the alleged White House Correspondents' Dinner shooter's manifesto was published online.

Trump, first lady Melania Trump, and several cabinet officials were swiftly whisked away from the Washington Hilton in the nation's capital after shots rang out during the annual gathering of lawmakers and members of the media. The alleged shooter, Cole Tomas Allen, exchanged fire with Secret Service personnel and was arrested on-scene.

Details of the manifesto Allen sent to his family members before the shooting were published on Sunday. In the document, Allen says he was specifically targeting Trump and other administration officials, excluding FBI Director Kash Patel. He also wrote that he is no longer "willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."

MAGA faithful shared their reactions on social media.

"Cool, hang him," podcaster Emily Austin posted on X.

"The gunman's manifesto is indistinguishable from the views promoted by the mainstream Left, the Democrats, the liberal media every single day," Batya Ungar-Sargon, host of "Batya!" on NewsNation, who describes herself as a "MAGA lefty," posted on X. "Stop saying we have a political violence problem in America. We have a Left-wing political violence problem in America."

"Meanwhile, legacy media and mainstream Democrats keep promoting people who call Trump a pedophile, a rapist and traitor," Ben Shapiro, co-founder of The Daily Wire, posted on X.

"This was always the point of their lies," podcaster Tim Pool posted on X. "They want to get Trump and conservatives killed."

In the wake of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting Saturday, several guests expressed shock Sunday at what they characterized as an unprecedented lack of security at the event, a dinner attended by President Donald Trump and many of his top officials.

“I was never asked for a key, but could’ve produced one from a different city. Also never asked for ID, and waltzed through the lobby and lower ballroom areas like I owned the place,” wrote Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, a prominent libertarian commentator and radio personality.

“Only saw one [law enforcement] dog by the red carpet, which also had surprisingly lax security. Having been to this event several times as early as 1995, this was probably the least security I’ve encountered.”

Questions quickly mounted around the event. Remarks made moments before the shooting fueled an online frenzy, while additional scrutiny followed reports that journalists were able to move freely, unrestricted, through the scene within hours. The apparent lack of security only prompted further concern.

“I flashed my ticket and was waved through in one second. My name was not checked against any list, I showed no ID, I was not patted down and did not go through a metal detector. I probably could have shown a ticket from a prior year or a fake one as they barely looked at it,” wrote Fox News’ Bill Melugin in a social media post on X.

“From that point, I walked into the hotel with no further security check, and I walked down to the Fox pre-party where there were multiple ballrooms that were absolutely PACKED with attendees. Still did not go through any security at that point. Hypothetically, if I had hidden an explosive in my shoe or my jacket, I would have had no problem getting into one of those ballrooms.”

Within a matter of hours, two MS NOW journalists were able to walk through and document the scene of the Saturday shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD), sparking confusion among critics who questioned why the area had not been restricted by law enforcement.

The annual WHCD – attended for the first time by President Donald Trump while in office – was disrupted Saturday at the Washington Hilton hotel by a suspected shooter, later identified as 31-year-old California resident Cole Allen. And yet, despite the suspect reportedly penning a manifesto naming Trump and his top officials as targets, two MS NOW journalists apparently had no issue walking onto the site of the shooting.

“I was covering the red carpet last night when shots rang out,” wrote MS NOW reporter Julia Jester Sunday in a social media post on X. “This morning after law enforcement left the Hilton, my MS NOW News producer [Lillie Boudreaux and] I (to our surprise) were able to walk into the scene.”

That journalists were able to enter the scene of the shooting so soon after the incident left some critics dumbfounded.

“Able to walk into the scene less than 24 hours after a shooter attempted to breach the WHCD. I've been to gas station murder scenes where crime tape was up longer,” wrote journalist and podcast host Grant Hermes in a social media post on X.

Jester also shared exclusive photos and video of the scene, which showed discarded first aid materials strewn across the carpet floor at the hotel. The video and photos also showed large, square holes cut out from the hotel’s wall, which Jester claimed were bullet hole sites. Law enforcement often removes sections of wall at the site of bullet holes to better preserve evidence.
