While Crooks’ activity on Gab was minimal, the majority of his posts were in favor of President Biden. These posts praised Biden’s COVID lockdown measures, border policies, and various executive orders. Torba stated, “While the account made very few posts on the site, the majority of them were in support of President Biden. A number of posts in particular expressed support for President Biden’s COVID lockdowns, border policies and executive orders. We have saved the account data pending receipt of a search warrant.”
Torba further elaborated on the situation, stating, “Some more context: the reason we know is because we received an emergency disclosure request from a law enforcement agency.” He also sought public support, posting, “Would appreciate some prayer. I’m sticking my neck out big time on this one, but I felt it was the right thing to do in the public interest.”
Among the posts shared, one particularly stood out where the user stated, “Biden executive orders don’t incentivize human trafficking.” Other posts challenged former President Trump’s popularity and defended Biden’s border policies, refuting claims of “open borders.”
Torba emphasized the risks involved in disclosing this information, saying, “We are disclosing this information at significant personal and business risk. If the past is any guide, defying the D.C. consensus by publishing the first definitive evidence that the shooter was a Biden supporter – something Democrats and their media allies have tried to cover up and deny at every turn – has a high probability of resulting in significant political and media backlash.”
On the same day, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified about the ongoing investigation into Crooks’ motives. Despite extensive efforts, the FBI has not yet determined a clear motive behind the assassination attempt. “We do not yet have a clear picture of his motive,” Wray stated, as reported by CBS. He acknowledged the potential insights that social media messages could provide but noted, “We’re not seeing that, but we’re digging in hard because this is one of the central questions for us.”
