In her final tweet of the day, posted at 21:10 UTC, Harshbarger voiced her disdain for what she sees as misleading media narratives. She stated, “What an incredibly powerful and tragic moment. The legacy media, which has leaned into the false ‘Maryland Man’ narrative, should be ashamed.” This comment reflects her disapproval of certain media portrayals.
