The man charged with shooting up a ABC affiliate station in Sacramento, California left a note that stated that Trump officials were "next" in reference to the Charlie Kirk assassination. This comes after Anibal Hernandez-Santana, 64, has been charged on firearms and assault counts.
National Review reported that a handwritten note left behind by Hernandez Santana, stated, “For hiding Epstein & ignoring red flags. Do not support Patel, Bongino, & AG Pam Bondie. They’re next," indicating the officials were "next" after the Charlie Kirk assassination. The note was signed "CK" with the next words stating, "from above."
Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho said the note is “circumstantial evidence” that Hernandez-Santana had a "political motive" behind the shooting. The DA also believes the "CK" on the note stands for Charlie Kirk in reference to the assassination.
"We’re still looking at investigating the case, but he chose a very particular target, and with the notes that he left behind and the target in place and the recent dismissal of the Jimmy Kimmel show, I think there’s circumstantial evidence there to show that this was politically motivated crime by this individual," Ho added.
After "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was pulled indefinitely from ABC last week, Hernandez-Santana allegedly targeted the ABC affiliate in Sacramento with three gunshots. “The MAGA gang is desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said last week, falsely suggesting that Tyler Robinson, who has been charged with Kirk's murder, is of the right when all evidence pointed to him being to the far-left politically.
After the comments were made, Sinclair, a giant broadcasting firm owning many local ABC affiliate stations, said they were not going to be airing Kimmel's show.
