Maverick 88: Perhaps the actual model of shotgun carried into the Correspondents dinner by Cole.
User comment: "The Mav 88 is by far the most reliable pump action for the price. Recoil is strongly felt with buckshot and slugs, but they're accurate, cheap and they go boom every time without any hangups. Often found for $200-250, they absolutely kick ass. Bought mine for $200 a few years ago and miss it dearly."
"Jimmy Kimmel had a rough weekend, and frankly, he earned every minute of it. On Thursday night, the ABC late-night host stood in front of his cackling studio audience and delivered this "joke" about the First Lady of the United States: "And of course, our First Lady Melania is here. Look at her, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow." The crowd, as always, howled.
Two nights later, a man named Cole Tomas Allen showed up at the Washington Hilton with a shotgun, a handgun, multiple knives, and a manifesto in which he called himself the "Friendly Federal Assassin." He charged a Secret Service checkpoint and opened fire. President Trump, Melania, Vice President Vance, and a roomful of Cabinet members had to be rushed to safety.
This was the third attempt on President Trump's life. Suddenly Kimmel's "expectant widow" line is not landing the way he hoped.
Now Melania has had enough, and she is naming names. "Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country," she wrote. "His monologue about my family isn't comedy, his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand."
The First Lady is not asking for a federal investigation. She is asking a private network to consider whether it really wants to keep paying a host who joked about her husband's death two days before a gunman tried to make it real. ABC is silent so far. The country is not." Source: X
