Joshua Jahn had 'Antifa link'? Laura Loomer's wild claims in Dallas ICE facility shooting
Suspect Joshua Jahn faces scrutiny after ICE shooting. Laura Loomer claims his deleted Facebook showed Antifa links with a communist-themed profile photo.
Joshua Jahn, the suspect in the shooting at the ICE field office in Dallas on Wednesday afternoon, is under intense public scrutiny. Since Jahn was identified as the suspect by the New York Post, citing law enforcement, his social media presence prior to Wednesday's incident is being looked at.
Amid that, Laura Loomer, the popular conservative commentator and journalist, put forth Jahn's links with Antifa, the group recently banned by Donald Trump as a terror organization. Loomer dug out the now-deleted Facebook profile of Joshua Jahn and found that his profile picture contained an Antifa poster on it.
"The profile photo is of an armed communist with the hammer and sickle," Loomer wrote, adding that the text in the photo read: "GLORIOUS EXPOSITION, COMRADE."
"He also has a previous conviction for selling Marijuana," Loomer added. "Proof this was Leftist political violence against ICE officers."
