Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print.

We have an update on charges for the alleged WHCD shooter, oral arguments in the Virginia gerrymandering fight, a nasty attack on Erika Kirk, and an elite university trying to scrub DEI references from its websites.


‘GAY BAKED POTATO’

The suspect who attempted to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was charged Monday and faces life in prison.

Cole Allen has been charged with the transportation of a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, and attempt to assassinate the U.S. president.

The assassination attempt charge carries a potential life sentence.

Allen was stripped upon capture at the Washington Hilton, which sources tell me is standard protocol with shooters who target high-profile individuals to ensure they don’t have explosives on their person. Allen was seen in photographs lying on the floor covered in an emergency blanket.

Mike Solana, editor-in-chief of Pirate Wires, quipped, “Every would-be assassin should be wrapped in aluminum foil and positioned for photos like a gay baked potato. they should tour him around the country so we can all come see the gay baked potato before his public floggings, and throw vegetables.”

Another interesting tidbit from the affidavit: the Secret Service officer who was shot in the chest plate may have been the only officer to return fire on Allen.

“U.S. Secret Service Officer V.G. was shot once in the chest; Officer V.G. was wearing a ballistic vest at the time,” the affidavit says. “Officer V.G. drew his service weapon and fired multiple times at ALLEN, who fell to the ground and suffered minor injuries but was not shot. ALLEN was subsequently arrested.”
