Trump loyalist pushes 'false alarm,' and it backfires spectacularly: 'Seek help'


Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) faced immediate criticism after commenting on a report of an active shooter at the University of South Carolina.

School officials at the University of South Carolina issued an all-clear late Sunday after a schoolwide alert warned of a shooter on the Columbia campus, urging the community to avoid the area and shelter in place. The alert followed what the university called a “a credible report” of an active shooter at the library. Subsequent messages stated that there was no evidence of a threat.

Mace had initially published multiple images of a man walking on campus, describing him as the “alleged shooter.” She wrote that he was a “white male,” wearing “black shorts, grey tshirt, backpack.”

Social media users were quick to pounce on her posts.

The photo had been given to us by the police. Still we had to pay up, I think it was settled at around $5000, not that much considering how the guy’s reputation was ruined. The camera was actually off one frame, I’m still not sure who the real bank robber was.
