A social studies teacher at Kaukauna High School posted on social media Saturday morning expressing disappointment that a gunman failed to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner the night before.
Patrick Meyer, who teaches social studies at the school in the Kaukauna Area School District, wrote on X:
“I am not impressed with recent presidential assassins. It’s fucking embarrassing! Booth, Guiteau, Czolgosz, Oswald must all be spinning in their graves! MAGAA (make Americans great assassins again)! Sad!”
The account associated with the post, @looper1973, appears to have been deleted since then.
The comment came hours after gunshots were fired at the dinner of the White House Correspondents Dinner. Trump and other officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Cabinet members, were evacuated by the Secret Service and were unharmed.
The suspect, identified by law enforcement as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, Calif., was taken into custody after charging through a security checkpoint. Authorities said he was armed with a shotgun, a handgun and knives and appeared to be acting alone. No one was injured in the incident.
Meyer’s LinkedIn profile lists his employment as a teacher at Kaukauna High School in Appleton, Wisconsin.
