"Bobby Crimo aka 'Awake The Rapper' the Highland Park shooter was an Antifa Far Left extremist," says a July 4, 2022 tweet with hundreds of likes and shares.
The post includes two photos. One appears to depict 21-year-old Robert Crimo wearing a hat sporting the letter "A," while the other purportedly shows his Instagram profile featuring an anti-fascist logo.
Screenshot of a tweet taken July 6, 2022 "Antifa" is short for anti-fascist, a term that describes a broad, loosely affiliated coalition of left-wing activists. AFP has previously reported on how the movement has been falsely blamed for everything from fires on the West Coast to the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
Other posts sharing the purported screenshot of Crimo's Instagram profile have circulated on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, according to CrowdTangle, a social media insights tool. The Gateway Pundit, a conservative website that has previously published misinformation, also shared the image.

This screenshot taken July 6, 2022 shows Robert Crimo's now-deleted website. Some social media posts sharing the image of Crimo's supposed Instagram profile indicate the page was newly created. The account, whose handle did not resemble any of Crimo's other social media profiles, appears to have had few followers and was recently updated before being removed.
The symbol used on Crimo's social media does not appear to be associated with any antifa imagery. AFP did not find any exact matches, but some reports said it resembles a symbol used by some far-right groups.
AFP found no other evidence that the Instagram account being shared belonged to Crimo. AFP reached out to Instagram for additional comment.

Antifa was instrumental in the January sixth “incident “ in my opinion.
Feds arrest Navy reservist who blames Antifa for Capitol riot
“The Antifa kept sending people up the staircase and trying to get people to come and we’re all like ‘no, we’re not going to follow you,’”

Fact Check from AP- any fact that may hurt the left isn’t true.
The truth would be considered misinformation to a pack of habitual liars.
To find a connection to a right leaning group, this evidence would be more than overwhelming. To find a connection to a left leaning group, no amount of evidence would be sufficient. In fact, the more evidence there was, the deeper the media would bury it.
The Antifa "A" logo has the letter A inside a circle. Could be he didn't bother. Could be he meant something else. Most of these shooters have no steady ideology and by their social media, seem to bounce around between a lot of mixed ideologies. Perhaps they're just unstable, like their families.
The circled A has long been an anarchist symbol. I don’t think it’s an Antifa logo.
Well, this proves it. You can’t spell “MAGA” without the letter A. There can be no doubt that Crimo is a Trump supporter, and all Trump supporters should be arrested and jailed before they can commit more mass killings. /liberal logic
The A here is probably for Awake his ‘stage’ name.

Sorry, I don’t do Facebook.
Good point. Probably what it is.
Or Grade A douche.
So noob, you think it’s BS that Antifa was involved and lead the assault on the 6th.
Loosely affiliated ?
They have a Flag !
And have had that same flag since their commie founding in the 1930s Hitler Germany.
Loosely my arse.
