Austin Tucker Martin was shot dead outside of Mar-A-Lago on Sunday.
He was armed.
According to TMZ, he had supported Trump in the past but had become obsessed with the Epstein files as of late.
TMZ released text messages as well.
I’ve been saying for weeks, including on Piers Morgan a few days ago, that saturating the online information environment with these constant declarations of a mass child rape atrocity was very foreseeably going to drive certain mentally unstable people into homicidal mania https://t.co/0sVsl5W3VE

Text message sent last week by the 21-year-old who was killed by Secret Service today after attempting an armed infiltration of Mar-a-Lago. Co-workers told TMZ he recently “became fixated on Epstein” and was “deeply disturbed by what he believed was a government cover-up” pic.twitter.com/WYYo7zf9Yu

OH. MY. GOSH.
There’s a very real possibility the latest attempted Trump assassin, Austin Tucker Martin, was a Thomas Massie supporter.
He was reportedly a Conservative Christian who became fixated on the Epstein files in recent months.
This would make the second Massie… pic.twitter.com/eigTJ9Q7uV

Donald Trump tried to warn about this.
The Epstein files release has caused disinformation after disinformation.
Many of the files contain information that is not reliable.
This hasn’t stopped people from pushing the falsehoods.
Don’t listen to the grifters.
All of these things can be true at once.
-Epstein and Maxwell were disgusting criminals.
-Many powerful people had relationships with Epstein and anyone who committed crimes should be in jail.
-The Epstein files release was being pushed by people who cared only about getting Trump (even though the files exonerate him)
Anytime you see a viral Epstein file claim, do your own research and confirm that not only is it true but the source is trustworthy.
