Far-left actress Debra Messing bucks the party narrative on lethal Waukesha parade attack



A Hollywood actress known for her far-left reactionary takes appeared to side with many on the right over the lethal car attack on a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Six died and 62 were seriously injured when a red SUV plowed through the festivities at the Christmas parade on Sunday. Police arrested Darrell Brooks, Jr. for the attack.

Brooks left a large social media presence that has led many to conclude that he might have had racist, anti-white motivations for the attack. Others have cautioned against jumping to conclusions so early in the official investigation. Authorities have not as yet announced anything conclusive about a possible motive in the attack.

One of the few on the left who is demanding for the media to frame the horrific incident as a "domestic terror attack" is Debra Messing.

"Dear Mainstream Media—a man intentionally drove his car through a parade killing 6 and injuring 50+. It was not an ACCIDENT," Messing tweeted.

"Call it by its name #WaukeshaMassacre And it was a domestic terror attack," she added. "Don't minimize. Please."

Messing has been an outspoken critic against conservatives, former President Donald Trump, and his supporters. In one humorous instance, she expressed shock and confusion at a headline from right-wing satire site the Babylon Bee, and later pretended that she hadn't been fooled by the joke.

Brooks has been charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide and was given an extraordinary bail of $5 million. If convicted, Brooks could face a sentence of life imprisonment for each charge.

Messing is best known for her title role in the television comedy series, "Will & Grace." In 2019, Trump tweeted that Messing should be fired from the show.

Officials warn that the numbers could increase in the coming days if more victims come forward, or if existing victims succumb to their injuries.

During a Sunday night news conference, Waukesha Police Chief Dan Thompson said that the person of interest was in custody, but did not reveal the identity of the possible suspect.

The Associated Press on Monday reported that Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul added, "What took place in Waukesha today is sickening, and I have every confidence that those responsible will be brought to justice."

Further information is expected to come out during a Monday news conference.

Victims

According to Fox News, some of the victims include a Roman Catholic priest, multiple parishioners, and Catholic school children. Performers from the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies and members of the Waukesha Xtreme Dance team were also impacted during the attack.

Corey Montiho, an area resident and school board member, said that the scene was horrific.

"There were pompoms and shoes and spilled hot chocolate everywhere," Montiho said. "I had to go from one crumpled body to the other to find my daughter. My wife and two daughters were almost hit. Please pray for everybody. Please pray."

Resident Angela O'Boyle, who claimed to have witness the attack from her fifth-floor apartment window, told CNN that she saw the red SUV "plow into the band" on the streets below, run over at least two people, and continue driving into crowds attending the celebration event.

Chris Germain, witness and local businessowner, said that he witnessed the driver of the SUV "[blaze] right past us."

"There were small children laying all over the road, there were police officers and EMTs doing CPR on multiple members of the parade," he recalled.

Angelito Tenorio, a West Allis alderman who is running for Wisconsin state treasurer, said that the aftermath of the attack was equally as horrific as the attack itself.

"[W]e heard a loud bang," Tenorio said. "And after that, we just heard deafening cries and screams from the crowd, from the people at the parade. And people started rushing, running away with tears in their eyes, crying."

Paradegoer Tyler Kotlarek told The New York Times that he saw the car was "flying through [the parade route] going intentionally from left to right."

Nurse Jodi Singsime said that she rushed to help after the attack.

"I heard and saw the people being hit, but what you could do more than seeing is hearing, and just that sound was insane," she said according to a Monday Reuters report as she explained seeing a small boy in the road.

"I felt his neck for a pulse and he had one but his eyes were barely open and his face — all I can remember is his sweet little innocent face was purple. He wasn't really with us."


A person of interest

Authorities were able to recover the red SUV used in the attack, and took into custody at least one person of interest. Neither their identity or motives were announced at the time of this reporting.

In a statement on the horrific attack, Waukesha Mayor Shawn Reilly said, "Today, our community faced horror and tragedy in what should have been a community celebration. I'm deeply saddened to know that so many in our community went to a parade but ended up dealing with injury and heartache."
