DC shooter Elias Rodriguez called for ‘genocide of white people’ in leaked text messages: report

Elias Rodriguez, the man recently accused of killing two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC, called for the “genocide of white people,” according to leaked text messages obtained by journalist Ken Klippenstein, which revealed the shooter’s disturbing obsession with this particular demographic.

Additionally, witness testimony and additional messages demonstrated that Rodriguez held an animosity toward Israel and supported Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist organization. The communications provide a more comprehensive understanding of the alleged cold-blooded killer’s political ideologies and long-standing convictions.

“Lol you probably would have to actually genocide white people to make this a normal country,” Rodriguez wrote to his friends, according to the report.

“Like even a very targeted and selective rehabilitation program would probably have to lead to the lifetime imprisonments of tens of millions of white people,” Rodriguez added.

Further allegations made by his friends suggest that while Rodriguez had allegedly never expressed disdain towards Jewish people, he had a severe hatred of Israel. “He never, ever said anything remotely racist about Jews or anyone,” a friend told Klippenstein.

A friend added that Rodriguez was “a big proponent of the ’emerging resistance axis’ of Russia, Iran, Hezbollah, Assad’s Syria.” The accused also referred to Israel as “The Little Satan,” and “seemed pretty vocally in favor of Hamas for years – way before 2023,” according to his friends.

Following the deaths of two Hamas leaders, Hassan Nasrallah and Yahya Sinwar, who were killed by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) during Israel’s war against Hamas, Rodriguez wrote in a message: “Honestly i’m still just feeling sad about the murder of hassan nasrallah. It hurts when people are killed specifically for doing what’s right, when so many are afraid to.”

Additionally, Rodriguez said he was saddened by the killing of Sinwar, the former chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau, who helped construct the October 2023 terror attack on Israel, according to the report.

FBI Whistleblower Slams Promotion of FBI J6 Warlord

FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, who exposed the corruption and bias in the agency’s Jan. 6 investigation, spoke out on the promotion of one of the officials responsible for that corruption in exclusive comments to PJ Media.

Many Jan. 6 protestors were not only arrested and jailed but subject to rigged trials, long periods of solitary confinement, months or years of prison without trial, let alone conviction, and even physical abuse. The FBI was a major part of that persecution, and yet Steven Jensen, its self-described J6 architect, was just promoted to head the Washington Field Office. 

Jensen even bragged to Congress about his key role in orchestrating what we now know was a politically charged and highly biased campaign against Jan. 6 protestors, most of whom were peaceful and all of whom were treated as guilty even if proven innocent. Jensen also reportedly oversaw the FBI spying upon parents who attended school board meetings and traditional Catholics.

Friend explained, “Steven Jensen described himself to Congress as the architect of the FBI’s weaponized response to January 6th. His promotion to lead the Washington Field Office is like putting a fox in charge of the henhouse.” He added, “If personnel is policy, the FBI is on a troubling path.”

Friend, who is now a podcaster and best-selling author, lost his FBI job and found himself the target of outrageous federal persecution after he respectfully challenged his superiors on the unconstitutional, illegal, rigged campaign against Jan. 6-ers. Thus, he saw from the inside how disturbing Jensen and co.’s actions were. Friend’s fellow FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin noted that Jensen was exposed as a “2021 January 6th hysteric” in congressional testimony. “Jensen was the Section Chief of the Domestic Terrorism Operations Section which fixated on J6 and ran 2x DAILY calls about J6 to cops across the country,” Seraphin declared. This is a major personnel failure for FBI Director Kash Patel.

Father Of DC Shooting Suspect Was Democrats’ Honored Guest At Trump Congressional Address

The father of the suspected gunman in the murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers at the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday, was the honored guest of a far-left lawmaker at President Trump’s joint address to Congress back in March, the New York Post reported.

Eric Rodriguez is an anti-Trump SEIU member who also spoke at a Democrat press conference ahead of Trump’s address.

His son, accused killer Elias Rodriguez, 30, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder after allegedly gunning down Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, who were about to become engaged.

“Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President’s Joint Speech to Congress, but we don’t know his family,” a spokesperson for Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-Ill.) told the Post Thursday night.

García in March had described Rodriguez as “an outspoken advocate against attacks on veterans’ services and the rights of unionized federal employees.”

His mention of “attacks on veteran services” appeared to be a reference to the Department of Government Efficiency’s work eliminating of waste fraud and abuse from the system.

“Eric represents the very best of our community — someone who has served his country, continues to serve his fellow veterans and fights every day to protect the dignity of working people,” the congressman said in a statement on March 3. “His presence at the Joint Address is a powerful statement: we will not sit back while veterans and workers are treated as political pawns.”

According to the Post, Rodriguez also appeared in a Service Employees International Union (SEIU) video that same day, speaking as an Iraq War vet and an employee with the Veterans Affairs Department.

The SEIU, one of the largest labor unions in North America, donates millions of dollars to left-wing Democrat politicians who promote government expansion and higher taxes.

“I’ve been with the VA for three years, and the reason why I’m in Washington, DC, is because I’m concerned about what Donald Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE are doing to the VA system,” he said in the SEIU video. 

Rodriguez was also a featured speaker at an emotional Democrat press conference on March 4.

Flanked by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and other Democrat lawmakers, Rodriguez appeared on the verge of tears as he decried the DOGE cuts.

Neighbor of gunman who killed Israeli diplomat says ‘girlfriend’ vanished from their Chicago apartment weeks before shooting

The suspected pro-Palestine gunman who murdered two young Israeli diplomats in Washington DC lived with a ‘girlfriend’ at his modest apartment in Chicago, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Elias Rodriguez, 31, moved in with a woman whose last name is believed to be Oliver roughly two years ago, 71-year-old neighbor John Fry said.

But it appears she recently mysteriously vanished.

‘There was a young woman, although I haven’t seen her for a couple of weeks now. I can’t say exactly when she left,’ Fry added.

‘I’m guessing she was in her late 20s, about 5ft 3ins tall, dark hair. Nothing special about her build. Difficult to really describe her much after that.

‘I don’t know why she apparently hasn’t been around.’

He would not speculate that the couple could have fallen out before the murderous assault outside the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday night – where Rodriguez shouted ‘Free Palestine’ after the killing spree.

‘They were a really quiet couple. Although in these apartment buildings people only tend to just say hi to each other, not much more than that,’ said Fry. ‘I didn’t exchange that many words with her.

Fry said he also had not seen Rodriguez – who allegedly unleashed 21 rounds from his H&K pistol to kill soon-to-be engaged Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim – for days either.

A small pair of women’s size black CAT sneakers remained outside the door of the couple’s second floor apartment today despite the FBI raid on the premises 24 hours earlier.

On the dark wood front door is a cardboard graphic of what appears to be a Hello Kitty Chinese New Year decal, with a male and a female version of the Sanrio mascot, linked together with Chinese characters, as revealed in exclusive DailyMail.com photos.

The apartment building is in the mixed Albany Park area of the city, where support is strong for Palestine following the October 7 Hamas atrocities and Israel’s military response in Gaza.

Fry said he too supported the Palestinian cause but added: ‘What he did was so wrong. And if I’d had any idea that he would do such a thing I believe I could have talked him out of it.

‘If he wanted to support Palestine, this is not the way to do it. What’s killing two people doing to do? It was so stupid, so counterproductive.

‘There’s a very strong Palestine support network in this neighborhood. And for him to do what he did, he did it because he had lost hope. I believe he just lost hope over the death and destruction. It pushed him over the edge.’

Fry also revealed the FBI did not seem particularly interested in the girlfriend. ‘I told them about her, but they didn’t appear to pick up on it,’ he said.

Cops probing anti-Israel manifesto allegedly written by terror suspect Elias Rodriguez ahead of DC Jewish Museum shooting: sources

Police are investigating whether the suspected terrorist arrested for fatally shooting two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, DC, blasted out an anti-Israel manifesto online in the lead-up to the bloodshed, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Elias Rodriguez, 31, had allegedly chanted “Free, free Palestine” just moments before he confessed to gunning down the couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum late Wednesday, cops said.

As investigators probed a motive behind the horrific antisemitic bloodshed, cops were homing in on a 900-word manifesto bearing Rodriguez’s name that started circulating online immediately after his arrest, the sources said.

In addition to trying to determine the document’s authenticity, authorities were trawling through Rodriguez’s electronic devices and probing whether he was self-radicalized, according to sources.

The missive, which was apparently dated May 20 — a day before the slayings — appeared to suggest the killings were an act of political protest ignited by the war in Gaza.

“An armed action is not necessarily a military action. It usually is not. Usually it is theater and spectacle, a quality it shares with many unarmed actions,” the document reads.

The alleged manifesto went on to suggest that those “of us against the genocide” have “forfeited their humanity.”

“But inhumanity has long since shown itself to be shockingly common, mundane, prosaically human. A perpetrator may then be a loving parent, a filial child, a generous and charitable friend, an amiable stranger, capable of moral strength at times when it suits him and sometimes even when it does not, and yet be a monster all the same,” the writings state.

Here’s what we know about the socialist activist arrested for killing Israeli embassy staffers in DC

A socialist, pro-Palestinian activist was arrested for allegedly shooting a couple dead on Wednesday night in Washington, DC, outside the Capital Jewish Museum. The couple were staffers from the Israeli Embassy in the nation’s capital and were about to get engaged.  

Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago, has been identified by authorities as the suspected shooter. Video of Rodriguez getting arrested showed him yelling “Free, free Palestine,” and he has a history of engaging in leftist ideologies such as socialism. Israeli diplomat Yaron Lischinsky and his girlfriend Sarah Milgrim were the victims of the deadly shooting; they were set to be engaged.

A person with the same name also belonging to the Party for Socialism and Liberation had made a donation before on a fundraising page for Gaza, and wrote a note stating, “I as an individual cannot stop this violence to the people of Palestine, but I can at least help the little boy who made a difference to me, I urge other to help as much as possible, no child should experience such horrible things. Free Palestine” (sic).

Additionally, the Daily Mail has also reported images appearing to be of Rodriguez at BLM protests in 2017. The alleged killer’s work profile had him working at the non-profit organization, TheHistoryMakers, with his biography stating that he was an “oral history researcher” on African American communities.

Chilling moment Elias Rodriguez screams ‘Free Palestine’ after shooting Israeli diplomat couple dead

A pro-Palestinian gunman suspected of shooting a young Jewish diplomatic couple dead was filmed manically screaming ‘Free Palestine‘ as he was hauled into custody.

Footage emerged overnight of 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez as he was taken into custody after two Israeli embassy staffers were gunned down outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington DC.

Yaron Lischinsky and his girlfriend Sarah Milgrim were identified as the victims in the vile attack that was condemned by President Donald Trump.

The couple, who were set to get engaged next week, had attended a Young Diplomats event before they were shot.

In one image, Rodriguez is seen sitting calmly at a bench with one leg crossed over the other, while separate footage captures the moment he is hysterically hauled away while shouting.

‘Free, free Palestine,’ he shouts repeatedly as he squirms against the officers’ grip.

The haunting pictures and images surfaced as witnesses described seeing Rodriguez ‘pacing back and forth’ outside the museum cocktail reception.

He then approached a group of people that included Lischinsky and Milgrim and then shot them at ‘close range’ with a handgun, the Israeli Embassy said. 

Moments later, he casually walked into the museum. Yoni Kalin told Fox 5 News  Rodriguez was allowed inside by well-meaning security guards who assumed he was a victim.

‘He was clearly in trauma, he was in shock. Some of the people at the event sat him down, brought him water, asked if he was okay, and he was like ”call the cops”.’

Ten minutes later when authorities arrived, Rodriguez allegedly admitted to carrying out the shooting.

‘He grabbed a red kaffiyeh out of his pocket and started a “Free Palestine” chant: “There’s only one solution, Intifada revolution,” Kalin said. ‘Thank God he left the gun in the bushes outside.’

Kalin, still in shock himself and unsure of what had happened, noticed that the red kaffiyeh had fallen on to the ground and tried to offer it to Rodriguez as he was hauled away, the video revealed.

Patel, Bongino, Ed Martin: Signs point to cover-up in J6 pipe bomb case…

Of all the unanswered questions surrounding January 6, none are more explosive or more ignored than the so-called DNC and RNC pipe bomb plot. And we can see why. After all, we’re supposed to believe that a coordinated terror attempt happened in the most surveilled city in America. Yet the FBI, with its treasure trove of resources and massive surveillance dragnet, still can’t track down a suspect who was caught on tape several times.

It’s a hard pill for most Americans to swallow.

Meanwhile, the FBI had no trouble identifying and prosecuting peaceful Trump supporters. Some of them were elderly MAGA grandmas strolling through the Capitol, escorted by police, yet they were hunted down and charged like ISIS terrorists. However, a would-be bomber captured on video? That dude just vanished into thin air.

It’s a story that never added up. And one that many in the media and government clearly hoped would fade into the background.

But it hasn’t. And it won’t. The good news is that there are some big new developments in the pipe bomb case. But before we get into that, let’s look back at recent events in January 2025 that led us here.

Thanks to persistent digging and detailed reporting, major cracks have formed in the official narrative. And with the recent release of the Loudermilk-Massie House Admin report, there’s now government confirmation of what independent outlets, like Revolver, had long pointed out all along.

Vicious FBI Agents Accused of Terrorizing Innocent J6 Families and Harassing Children Sue to Keep Their Identities Hidden

In 2023 The Gateway Pundit published the shocking story of Chris and In Annette Kuehne.

Chris Kuehne is a 22-year veteran who received numerous medals and awards, including the Purple Heart, a Navy Commendation Medal with Valor, and a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal with Valor for actions in combat.

On January 6, 2021, Chris went inside the Capitol but did not cause any harm or damage – in fact he cleaned trash off the floor, helped to stop theft of government property, asked people to leave the building, and went up to Capitol Police Officers to ask how he could help. Chris was also set-up by an FBI operative that day. Chris committed no violence and did nothing wrong.

One month later, in the early morning of February 11, 2021 Chris, his four-year-old child, and his wife Annette, who was pregnant at the time were awakened to sirens, cell phone rings, and bursts of colorful lights reflecting through our windows.

Annette later went public about the raid, “The FBI instructed Chris to come outside immediately. Our 4-year-old was awakened from the chaos, and I picked him up and ran downstairs to open the front door. Our house, street and neighboring streets were completely surrounded by armed FBI and law enforcement. It was a scene that we see so many times in the movies, but now it was here at my house! There were three large armored tactical vehicles parked on my front, side and back yard, and police vehicles that extended throughout the entire community. I open the door, and for a second, I didn’t realize that there were about twenty FBI SWAT Team members with semi-automatic rifles pointed at my son and I. We were covered by the bright red lasers pointed at our faces, chests, and various points on our bodies.”

Ed Martin Reveals J6 Pipe Bomber Probe Shakeup, Warns DOJ ‘Much, Much Worse Than People Think’

Ed Martin, a senior official in the Trump administration’s Department of Justice, is warning that corruption within federal law enforcement is far more severe than the American public realizes. Martin, who holds the roles of Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney, made the comments during an interview with Tucker Carlson.

Martin weighed in the unresolved case of the January 6, 2021, pipe bomber, expressing frustration with the investigation’s lack of progress, wondering whether the lack of answers may have been intentional. “The pipe bomber—as a prosecutor – I’ve got the pipe bomber case in my office,” Martin told Carlson. Martin revealed FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told him that the bureau had reassigned agents to the case, however, the renewed effort was still in it early stages. “It’s been going on for five weeks?” Martin said, likening the past probe to the bumbling “Keystone Cops.”
