The ‘Sam Hyde shooter meme’ was shared after what officials are calling an attempted assassination of Trump. The meme has been shared online for years.The July 13 shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania is being investigated as an attempted assassination of the former president, law enforcement officials say. Following the incident, the former president's campaign said that he was"fine."The photo is of comedian Sam Hyde.
People who use the 4chan message board often do so with a goal to mislead or trick people into believing and sharing false information during times of crisis or breaking news. Hyde, a comedian and supporter of alt-right beliefs, is a popular figure on the message board. The memes appear to have originated following the 2015 San Bernardino, Calif. shooting, which left 14 people dead.
In November 2017, after the shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, a photo of Hyde holding a weapon was shared. After the photo went viral, Texas Congressman Vicente Gonzalez went live on CNN and falsely identified Hyde by name as the suspect in the shooting. The photos of Hyde have appeared online so frequently, it’s become known as the “Sam Hyde is the shooter” meme. People who keep trying to trick others into using or sharing this meme see breaking news events, such as mass casualty incidents, as an opportunity to capitalize on the moment, O’Connor said.
