Khaberni - The "New York Post" reported that the shooter during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Cole Thomas Allen, criticized the U.S. administration for halting aid to Ukraine.
According to the newspaper, Allen consistently condemned the Trump administration in more than a thousand posts across various social media platforms, and it appears his grievances escalated as American support for Ukraine waned.
According to the newspaper, Allen was particularly critical of Vice President J.D. Vance for his comments in April about refusing aid to Ukraine.
The newspaper added that Allen did not stop at criticism but also supported numerous fundraising campaigns to equip the Ukrainian forces.
On Saturday evening, armed with a hunting rifle, Allen stormed into the banquet hall of the "Washington Hilton" where President Trump, his spouse, and numerous senior officials and media were attending the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner. The hall was immediately evacuated, and a Secret Service agent was injured before the guards could neutralize the threat and arrest the attacker.
Meanwhile, the American "NBC" network reported that Allen had no criminal record and had acquired the weapon legally.
It is noted that Trump has repeatedly stated that Washington spent up to 350 billion dollars on Ukraine without receiving anything in return, promising to end the Russian-Ukrainian war within a short period during his presidency.
