The FBI is investigating a social media account that may have belonged to Crooks with over 700 antisemitic and anti-immigrant posts.
’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks may have owned a social media account whose posts were antisemitic, anti-immigrant, and ultimately “extreme in nature.”
“There were over 700 comments posted from this account,” said Abbate. “Some of these comments, if ultimately attributable to the shooter, appear to reflect antisemitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature.” Despite its ownership not being confirmed, Abbate said the agency felt it was important to detail the social account’s nature because of the “general absence of other information” about Crooks’ “motive and mindset.”
