SUMMARY
Following the attempted assassination of former President Trump, social media posts from government employees sparked controversy. Jenna Howell, reportedly a former FBI NICS Firearms Background Check Unit employee, lamented on Facebook, "The memes... the memes are gold," and criticized gun rights supporters, saying, "Y’all gun-toting, 2nd Amendment-loving hillbillies better just sit down and stay quiet." Former FBI analyst Chris Toompas criticized Howell's remarks, noting, "The only thing leftists love to do is hate those who disagree with them." Democratic congressional staffer Jacqueline Marsaw, in posts now deleted, expressed disappointment, stating, "I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time."
