the actual shooter or the Tea Party member that ABC reporters Ross and Steponallofus implied was the shooter?
The Tea Party Jim Holmes made this statement regarding the worthless liberal media.
“What kind of idiot makes that kind of statement?†Holmes told The DC. “Really, seriously, how do we take a journalist seriously when it’s pretty clear they really haven’t done any sort of check on their facts?â€Holmes has the unfortunate coincidence of sharing a similar name with James Holmes, the 24-year-old accused of going on a rampage during a midnight showing of the “Dark Knight Rises†in Aurora, Colo., early Friday morning.
Because of this, ABC News reporter Brian Ross, appearing on “Good Morning America†on Friday, suggested the suspect could be a member of the tea party, citing the fact that “there’s a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea Party site.â€
But Ross had the wrong guy: The tea partier he was referring to is this 52-year-old former law enforcement officer. ABC News was forced to apologize online.
Holmes told TheDC that ABC News didn’t call him before going to air and he still hasn’t heard from them or received a direct apology. “No, not a thing,†he said.
“They could’ve contacted me through the Tea Party Patriots website,†said Holmes, who said he only recently joined the group and started attending lectures.
