Media Fibs: Falsely Claims Ted Cruz Blamed “Transgender Leftist Activist” for Colorado Springs Shooting

Once again, the mainstream media—this time the usual suspects being The Hill and Yahoo News—are misrepresenting the facts. In a statement regarding the alleged suspect in the recent, horrendous shootings in Colorado Springs, the two media outlets reported that Texas Senator Ted Cruz said this:

“It was Texas Senator Ted Cruz who took the prize this past weekend for the most outlandish claim regarding the man who opened fire on a Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs, Colorado that left three dead on Friday.

With details and facts still emerging over the Friday shooting, the junior senator first took the opportunity to denounce the “vicious rhetoric on the left, blaming those who are pro-life” to reporters in Newton, Iowa, the New York Times reported. Cruz, who called the gunman “deranged” also added that shooter Robert Dear was “registered to vote as a woman” adding, “it’s also reported that he was registered as an independent and as a woman and a transgender leftist activist.”
