The stunned family of suspected Las Vegas Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger say the Army veteran was a ‘big Trump supporter’ who loved his time in the military.
It comes as more details are revealed about Livelsberger, a long serving married Green Beret who was on leave from active duty when he carried out the attack outside Donald Trump‘s Las Vegas hotel.
His uncle Dean Livelsberger told The Independent that his nephew was ‘100 percent a patriot’, and described him as a ‘Rambo-type.’
‘He used to have all patriotic stuff on Facebook, he was 100 percent loving the country,’ he continued.
‘He loved Trump, and he was always a very, very patriotic soldier, a patriotic American. It’s one of the reasons he was in Special Forces for so many years. It wasn’t just one tour of duty.’
He added that the amateurish construction of the explosive device in the Cybertruck was curious to him, as he knew Matthew to be a ‘very skilled warrior’ who ‘would’ve been able to make a more sophisticated explosive.’
‘He was what you might call a ‘supersoldier.’ If you ever read about the things he was awarded, and the experience he had, some of it doesn’t make sense, when he had the skills and ability to make something more, let’s say, ‘efficient,” Dean said.
‘His skills were enormous from what he had been taught in the military.’
