A Seattle journalist is being condemned for her tactless tweet over the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
The former president, 78, survived the attempt on his life when the bullet missed him by less than an inch on Saturday afternoon, at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Corey Comperatore, the retired fire chief of Buffalo Township, was killed in the shooting and two others were taken to hospital in a critical condition.
Shortly after the attack, Ashely Nerbovig, a journalist for Seattle’s alternative biweekly newspaper The Stranger, posted a shocking message on X.
‘Make America aim again,’ Nerbovig said.
Critics immediately began to slam the journalist across social media for her revolting remarks.
‘As a member of the media, this was not responsible or even okay,’ said one person.
‘Absolutely disgusting. And unforgivable,’ said Seattle radio host Jason Rantz.
‘This woman needs fired. I encourage everyone to let your thoughts be known to her and her employer. Regardless of who your candidate is, you can’t be a journalist and say this kind of s**t,’ a third person said.
‘Who employs this evil hate filled person? She needs to be fired immediately. This behavior is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated,’ another said.
The Stranger responded by condemning political violence and Nerbovig’s author page has been removed from the website.
DailyMail.com reached out to The Stranger and Nerbovig for comment.
Nerbovig was previously fired from her job at the Montana Television Network after she was arrested on felony burglary charges, reported KMMS.
Although the charges were dropped, court documents said she broke into her ex-boyfriend’s house and tried to steal the dog they previously shared.
Warped liberals joined in sharing their disappointment in the shooter’s aim, insinuating that they wished Trump had been fatally shot.
‘We were a second away, we were a centimeter away from half of the problem being gone and you missed,’ cried on TikToker.
Another screamed, ‘How do you miss that? We don’t miss those! Come on man! F***!
