NEW: Photos and Videos From Idaho Shooter Wes Roley’s TikTok Emerge — And He Definitely Doesn’t Look Like MAGA
It didn’t take long. Before the smoke even cleared from the deadly ambush in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho—where 20-year-old Wes Roley allegedly set a fire and then gunned down three firefighters, killing two—leftist Twitter accounts were already hard at work.
Their “proof”? A photo of Roley’s stepfather wearing a Trump hat. That was all they needed to start blaming Trump supporters and MAGA conservatives for the attack.
But here’s the thing: the facts are already getting in the way of their narrative.
According to new reporting from the Idaho Tribune, photos and videos have surfaced from Roley’s alleged TikTok account—and let’s just say, he’s not exactly the face of conservatism.
Screenshots show that Roley appeared to be a “Brony”—a male fan of My Little Pony—and identified with the online “Furry” community. One video, shared by the Tribune, shows bizarre animation edits and hashtags completely unrelated to anything political, let alone MAGA.

The account, tied to the username “Biarus._,” was reportedly linked to a chess gaming profile under Roley’s full name and listed his location as Scottsdale, Arizona—where Roley was known to have lived. The content? Disturbing in a different way.
Let’s be honest: this doesn’t exactly scream Trump rally material.
And yet, the usual suspects online immediately tried pinning the blame on conservatives, dragging Trump into the mix before anyone even knew the shooter’s name. It’s the same tired playbook: Ignore the facts, find someone in the background with a red hat, and run wild with it.
Never mind that the shooter’s own social media suggests a completely different profile—one more in line with the chaotic, identity-fragmented subcultures the Left pretends don’t breed instability.
So no, this wasn’t a MAGA attack. But don’t hold your breath waiting for an apology from the smear merchants who blamed Trump before the bodies were even identified.
