Eric Swalwell (D-CA) <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2022\/07\/06\/no-highland-park-suspect-wasnt-a-trump-supporter-but-swalwell-train-wrecks-over-it-anyway-n589743\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">train wreck<\/a> all over that claim, and even curse out a man for simply asking what Swalwell\u2019s evidence was that the suspect was a Trump supporter.<\/p>\n<p>As we noted, one of Crimo\u2019s friends said that the reason Crimo was at a Trump rally was that Crimo was trying to mock the Trump supporters. It was a goof; Crimo was not in any way a Trump supporter. He <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2022\/07\/04\/the-left-is-pouncing-on-pics-of-highland-park-person-of-interest-desperate-to-make-trump-link-n588870\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was dressed like \u201cWaldo<\/a>,\u201d which is a joke started by Jimmy Kimmel against President Donald Trump. We\u2019ve also reported how Crimo\u2019s likes on his Twitter accounts were for talking points of the left, and the people he followed included Joe Biden and Kamala Harris\u2013not to mention, that Trump supporters are not generally shooting up Fourth of July parades.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10986199\/July-Fourth-shooter-Robert-Crimo-built-tiny-home-backyard-parents-house.html#v-5987617311492033684\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more information<\/a> from the Daily Mail that indicates he wasn\u2019t a Trump supporter.<\/p>\n<p>They found a video in which he was building a shed to live in next to his father\u2019s home. He also was painting a shooter on the side of the home, with a smiley face emoji on it. He commonly wore a shirt with that smiley face on it. In the video, he says to his followers, \u201cWhat\u2019s up, communists?\u201d He also says \u201cDeath to America\u201d \u2014 two things you\u2019re likely not going to hear from a Trump supporter. So, if anyone needed more, there you go, that\u2019s more that militates against that claim.<\/p>\n<p>Crimo shows his car that has a \u201c47\u201d on it. People have wondered what 47 means, speculating that it might be a reversal of the day of the attack, and another indication that he had been planning it for a while. That might be, but since he also dressed like Agent 47 in the \u201cHitman\u201d video game series, that\u2019s likely the primary motivation for that obsession.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Robert Crimo red tie suit and 47 are from the Hitman series <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VXhqDF9AAv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pic.twitter.com\/VXhqDF9AAv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jack Posobiec \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@JackPosobiec) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JackPosobiec\/status\/1544428538820177920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 5, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Crimo concludes his video, with \u201cGoodbye, Mr. FBI agent.\u201d He also has a picture of himself elsewhere, wearing an FBI hat. So, that\u2019s another fixation.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line given his prior actions and his videos \u2014 he appears to have been mentally unwell, considering an alleged suicide threat as well as a threat to kill family members. The police haven\u2019t mentioned any motive for the shooting yet, much less a political motive. But if there is one, it\u2019s not about being a Trump supporter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think we put paid to the claims from the left that Robert Crimo III \u2014 the man arrested in the Highland Park mass shooting \u2014 was a Trump supporter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1547137,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1544264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1544264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1544264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1544264\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1547137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1544264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1544264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1544264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
