turns out the guy was a left-winger


its coming out he had a web page with lots of left-wing
rhetoric on it. His family was a Biden family - maybe
he had mommy issues.

reply

The guy who tried to assassinate the most controversial Republican since Lincoln was a leftist? You don't say...

reply

he donated to liberals.

reply

And his gab profile was filled with leftist posts. Didn't stop the FBI from lying to everyone before Gab raised a red flag that they were conducting a psyop

reply

People accuse me of being a leftist for my pro-gun stance. I'm far more conservative than Trump and anything but a leftist.

Can you link to his gab profile?

reply

The most information we have: https://x.com/BasedTorba/status/1818311922560774188

His actual profile: https://gab.com/EpicMicrowave

You have to be logged in to see his content, which is all replies to other people. He does support Biden's policies and not Trump's, though it's not rabid or vitriolic, at least the ones I can see after logging in. Things like:

>.. first of all Biden executive orders don't incentivize human trafficking as human traffickers aren't interested in citizenships, likewise the majority of illegal immigrants are not criminals and in fact some studies(such as the one linked below) show lower rates of crime committed by these individuals, it is also unclear if the extensive path to citizenship is in fact effective at routing out potential bad actors hence why there is a review of that system.

>Actually [Biden's] executive order allows an easier path to US citizenship therefore no longer making them illegals and allowing children to join their already legalized immigrant parents in the US.

>Thats funny because the first order mandates a reuniting of any families separated at the border, the 2nd and 3rd orders a review of trumps immigration policies and other previous policies. However his order doesn't actually open borders or reduce the authority of border patrol, or anything that would substantially reduce BP effectiveness. So I'm sorry but this guy is talking out of his ass.

Funny that we've seen zero social media presence other than this. If he was on Gab he was obviously on the more mainstream platforms.

So this Andrew Torba posted unsubstantiated claims on X that

The story is this: the account for which data was requested was, UNEQUIVOCALLY, pro-Biden and in particular pro-Biden's immigration policy.

To the best of Gab's knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter".

That is it? Just a random X post with a partially redacted letter form the FBI? The best they can do is "the FBI appeared to think belonged to Thomas Crooks."?

Which more mainstream platforms? Facebook? Reddit? MovieChat?

reply

>So this Andrew Torba

He's the founder and CEO of Gab, genius

>Which more mainstream platforms? Facebook? Reddit? MovieChat?

Gee I don't know, have you ever met a zoomer?

reply

So we only have his word on the matter?

Maybe, are you a zoomer?

reply

>So we only have his word on the matter?

Considering I went out of my way to directly link you to the evidence, you could at least attempt to hide your retardation

>Maybe, are you a zoomer?

What do you think?

reply

What makes you think your post with the link to X is the absolute truth? Is retard your usual response to people who doubt your posts?

I think I don't care if you're a zoomer or not.

reply

>What makes you think your post with the link to X is the absolute truth?

What link to X? I linked to the CEO of Gab sharing a document from the FBI.

Or is this a situation where "it depends on what the definition of 'the' is."

>Is retard your usual response to people who doubt your posts?

No, otherwise I would've used it as soon as you doubted it. Instead I responded with primary source evidence. What do _you_ think made me use it?

>I think I don't care if you're a zoomer or not.

Thinking is a good start. Keep going

I think personal attacks are your "go to" when someone does not agree with you; as you demonstrated above.

Thinking is always good, try it some time.

BREAKING: The FBI is now claiming that the Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks had an unspecified "social media account" in 2019/2020 (when he was 14/15 years old) that posted "anti-immigrant and anti-semitic" content.

This is not consistent with Gab's understanding of the shooter's motives based on an Emergency Disclosure Request ("EDR") we received from the FBI last week for the Gab account "EpicMicrowave" which, based on the content of that EDR, the FBI appeared to think belonged to Thomas Crooks.

Many, particularly regime media reporters, have doubted Gab's claims that this request existed. Normally we don't confirm the existence or content of law enforcement communications. In this instance we had to make an exception due to the overwhelming public interest in disclosure and transparency.

As a courtesy to law enforcement, we are not going to post the entire request. This is the first page of that request.

The story is this: the account for which data was requested was, UNEQUIVOCALLY, pro-Biden and in particular pro-Biden's immigration policy.

To the best of Gab's knowledge, as of 2021, Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter.

reply

So as a child Crooks was left wing, then as he matured into an adult, he was a Republican?

reply

>NOOO you can't link to X. Show me a source from The New York Times!

See? Boomer

"I'm rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you."

Did they teach you to think with that retort in your turn of the century schoolhouse? Maybe you should take some neotropics, regain some brain plasticity, and reexamine your ancient thinking regarding not trusting documents from the FBI just because they're "tweeted" (scary term--think of it like a baseball card of a white player clothespinned near bicycle spokes) by a CEO on Twitter and not The New York Times.

reply

Where did you learn to run away from a conversation instead of posting a rational answer?

So which news sources do you trust? Do they have a name?

reply

>So which news sources do you trust? Do they have a name?

Why would I want your judgment in a thread where you admit that you won't look at primary source documents? What value do you think you can add after that public demonstration?

reply

I never made that claim.

reply

Ranb is a shill, he will only accept sources from the establishment; otherwise, he will gaslight you endlessly like a clown.

reply

"I'm rubber and you're glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you."


He does that often.

reply

Crooks was a registered Republican who tried to murder a gun grabbing RINO. More likely he did it because he was simply deranged and would have taken a shot at any high profile politician he could get close enough to.

reply

Crooks registered as a Republican as an adult. If you take a look at how you donate to the PAC he gave $15 to and how to register, it was far easier to donate money.

reply

"he donated to liberals."
So did Trump.

reply

Yeah, common sense revealed that on July 13.

reply

Who cares? Like these guys' motives are relevant. He just wanted to be famous. He would have shot Biden as well if he had the opportunity.

reply

👏

reply

🐿💦

reply

I dont think so , he was a crazy person who thought Trump was a "really bad proposition" and was crazy enough to try what he did

but thats no bearing on wether he's normally left or right

reply

Crooks had pics of both Biden and Trump on his phone. He was a registered Republican.

Nice source.

reply

So can we see this webpage you claim exists? Or is it your secret knowledge only?

reply

Instead of getting a link to the gab account (that Jowilli claims absolutely exists), we only get a news article that alleged that there may have been an account, but they're not sure.

Thanks for the link though.

reply

Yeah this was all over twitter about a week ago. Kid was definitely a Biden supporter and a leftist.

reply

Registered Republican. He probably thought Trump wasn't extreme enough.

reply

Or maybe because he was a convicted felon, Eppstein friend or the adultery.

reply

They only had him registered republican for the mainstream media soundbite. No one believed it and as always a few weeks go by and we learn the feds gave the media a narrative to run with until the cleanup job was done.

He was a normal kid who was brainwashed and had been visited by "someone" many times. We all know what happened.

reply

Every pinhead liberal on MC beat this drum for the longest time that he donated to the Republican Party, therefore, it's their fault mentality?? 🙄

reply

That and they've all been constantly encouraging crazy people to do what they say Crooks did on his own.
