As Twitchy readers know, Secret Service has confirmed there was an officer-involved shooting near the White House. Trump himself was interrupted during his press conference by Secret Service for his own safety. When the president returned he informed the press there had been a shooting but had no details outside of that.

U.S. Secret Service tweeted this:

The Secret Service can confirm there has been an officer involved shooting at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Ave. Law enforcement officials are on the scene. More information to follow.

To which Greg Pinelo, a so-called Democratic strategist, and ‘Obama ad maker’ responded by insinuating the president had staged the event.

Don’t make that face, we didn’t say it.

Of course, the Obama bro deleted it.

But we grabbed a screenshot of it because we thought he might.

Always keeping it classy on the Left.

Wow.

No wonder he tried deleting that.

what a sad tweet

Why’d you delete your cool tweet about today’s event possibly being staged?
