One of them said: “Further confirmation of complete abuse of security or staging either way doesn’t look good.”
Another added: “Why is hotel security at the front door and not the secret service?”
A third said: “Many of these journalists knew in real time before anything happened that these events looked suspicious.”
Following the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, many false conspiracy theories and rumors spread on social media.
These claims, which White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described as “crazy nonsense,” range from accusations of a “staged” incident to theories about foreign interference.
Some users claim that the event was held to justify the $400 million construction of a new, secure ballroom at the White House.

This theory gained traction after President Trump said at a press conference that the incident proved the need for such a facility.
Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, was charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump.
Allen, who described himself as a “Friendly Federal Assassin” in his writings, is being held without a plea until a hearing on Thursday.
Preliminary findings indicate that the attacker specifically targeted Trump and members of his administration.
Authorities are currently examining a manifesto found in the suspect’s hotel room that allegedly outlined his intention to target authorities.
