Suspected school shooter Nikolas Cruz trained as a member of a white nationalist militia, according to the groups leader.
Republic of Florida leader Jordan Jereb told the Anti Defamation League that the 19-year-old who allegedly slaughtered 17 people at his former high school Wednesday had participated in one or more training drills with his group, and had carpooled with other members to Tallahassee for the exercises.
Jereb says the groups goal is to make Florida a white ethno-state. He spoke with the ADL after apparent ROF members mentioned Cruzs membership on the web forum 4chan.
He claims he didnt know Cruz personally and the massacre in which most of the victims were white was not done at the behest of the ROF.
Two former classmates said he was fiercely right-wing and would discuss politics at school and that he wore a Make America Great Again hat around campus, according to the Daily Beast.

Why did he shoot white kids then?
I call Bull Sh!t on all of this.
And of course, he responded by killing white kids
Yeah but under the comments they are all trashing Trump..so I think he wore the hat to mock Trump supporters..he was all over social media yet not ONE image of him praising Nazi’s, or saluting Hitler, etc
Google has already posted a memorial on their home page.
This has gone full blown propaganda.
Where we cant even presume a thing about any shooting by black lives matter or Islamic terrorism or politicizing illegal immigrants when they kill or rape but we have an immediate rush to judgement to demonize and stereotype the white guy.
This is bullshit and Im sick of it.
per Twitter, the pic is BS.
“Trained” how, exactly?
Okay.
The Kid sounds like he was a Grade A nut.
So tragic he took so many innocents with him.
When I heard he was taken alive my first thought was Oklahoma City and McVeigh. I predict a quick trial, a confession, Sentence to death, no appeals and executed by end of year! /s
Um, that could be anyone.
Something smells very liberal-ly about this article.
We’ll just wait a while and see.
Why the islamoshit on his snapchat page? Or, whatever page it was?
Reports are that the media got punked by this story. Why would a white supremacist leader talk to the ADL?
He was insulting Muslims. He used a slur against them.
Many White Nationalist Groups are associated with Muslim terror groups because they share a common enemy: Jews.
Not sure he's Hispanic. Looks like a white kid. "Cruz" was the name of his adoptive mother.
Two former classmates said he was fiercely right-wing and would discuss politics at school and that he wore a Make America Great Again hat around campus, according to the Daily Beast.

Broward county schools dress code does not allow caps and hats.
I think the pics with him wearing stuff with “army” printed on it are the real ones.
Caps are against the dress code.
