The gunman who tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump appears to have used the controversial alt-right favored social media platform Gab to spread messages “in support of President Biden,” according to the platform’s founder.

Gab CEO Andrew Torba said he learned Wednesday that Thomas Matthew Crooks “may have had an account on our platform” after getting “an emergency disclosure request from a law enforcement agency.”

The account @epicmicrowave — which the CEO stressed he has been “unable to confirm” was definitely Crooks’ — “posted on the site nine (9) times total,” Torba tweeted just 30 minutes after getting the law enforcement request.

“While the account made very few posts on the site, the majority of them were in support of President Biden,” said the CEO of the platform launched in 2016 as a completely free-speech alternative to Twitter.

Gab is filled with Jew hate. Mostly because all the other Social sites kick the haters off. Tobia claims to be a Christian but he apparently does not like Jews much himself.

I can’t help but think of the parents of Islamic children in suicide vests, and a culture that worships killing babies as a political movement. Not really much difference I suppose?

Did Wray mean the drone lacked any video capability, or that Crooks didn’t record/save video from it? I presume Crooks could watch a feed from a drone camera in real time without saving it.

You can set most up so you can view without recording. Why would he need to record. Not gonna go home to analyze it later. Just get a lay of the land.

The little moron may have been live-streaming the drone video of his whole dastardly attempt back to the elites in DC. NOTHING would be surprising when it comes to these demonic arseholes.

I assume he landed the drone somewhere?
Could someone have removed the camera?

I have a gab account. got it when in Facebook jail. It is fun to go over there and razz the neo-nazis who seem to be 13 year old kids trying to be “mannish”.
One of the things they do is post a fabrication. When you tear them apart with TRUTH they block you so you cannot post to them again.
I post as 2elcidcampeador2.

There is also a Free Republic group over there keeping an eye on the weirdos there.
