Trump gunman Thomas Crooks likely had a Gab account that he used to ‘support’ President Biden, site’s CEO says
NY Post ^ | 07/25/2024 | Isabel Keane

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.

Uh, I have a ‘gab’ account but haven’t looked at it in a couple years. Does that raise red flags?

What was the employment history of our little Patsy? That usually reveals a lot. Who, when, where, how, and why, this kid paid his bills will tell us. Who funded his activities?

This may be the last time anyone hears from/about Gab CEO Andrew Torba...

Yeah, and if you were mentoring an assassin, you would tell him “register as a republican so you can get notices and easily pass into an event”. “Make an account wherever you can on rightwing sites. You’ll get more information and hurt them more if you are ever identified after the event...”

This is just background noise and BS.

We’ll never hear this from the FBI.

That POS Wray wouldn’t even say if Trump was hit by a bullet.

He did not shoot Trump! It has been proved. He fired the second five shots ONLY. The counted, on video, spent casings on the roof top, “2,3,4,5 right there”

Busted at the 4:50 mark.

I don’t view these types of things as big revelations. He tried to kill Trump and there is no evidence that he was mentally ill. So he was an anti-Trump zealot who took his hate to an extreme. The fact that he had a pro-Biden social media account is just more evidence of what we already know.

A lot of people on Gab are on X or Telegram anyway.

.


The classmates that said he was a loner said that he wore Masks long after Covid was over.


I suspect the Shooter believed Biden’s obvious Lies about Trump killing “all those people” that died of Covid.

The thing that I questioned from Wray’s testimony was that Crook’s drone did not have any video. Why would he fly a drone over the site and not take video?

Did they scrub it so it wouldn’t show other vulnerabilities and/or other assassins?

Yeah—I posted a couple of things there a few years back and the folks “following me” creeped me out—so I ghosted that place.

His dad looks like a screaming lib. Was he on transition drugs or psychotropics?

Who said he flew it and why was there two cars if there was one shooter?
