WASHINGTON ― Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) claimed Wednesday that people who commit mass shootings are often Democrats.
The first-term Republican congresswoman made the comment at a discussion about last weeks Florida school shooting after criticizing the government for failing to act on several tips that might have prevented the deaths of 17 students and adults.
Its interesting that so many of these people that commit the mass murders end up being Democrats. But the media doesnt talk about that either, Tenney told WGDJ Talk1300 radio.
Although law enforcement officials said there were no known ties between Nikolas Cruz and a particular white supremacist group, the 19-year-old suspect in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre had repeatedly expressed racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic views in private group chats, CNN reported.
A spokeswoman for Tenney did not immediately return a request for comment on or evidence to back up the congresswomans claim about the political affiliations of mass shooters.
The fact-checking site Snopes found that an online list purporting to show that assassins are more likely to be Democrats was, in fact, wildly flawed: Among other errors, it simply ignored any mass shooting known to be committed by someone with Republican or conservative views, and it identified shooters who were not Democrats as Democrats.
