Original Note:
“In the wake of the attack, right-wing commentators quickly spread unverified claims the shooter was transgender, often alongside wider attacks on transgender people overall.” https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/natalie-rupnow-madison-wisconsin-school-shooting-b2665496.html The poster is conflating right wing pundits with the GOP as a whole, but only that part is opinion.
