An unearthed Bluesky account believed to have belonged to suspected White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter Cole Allen shows he was a fervent supporter of Ukraine, a fixation he shared with another would-be assassin of President Donald Trump.
Allen— a 31-year-old California teacher who had reportedlycalledTrump a “sociopathic mob boss” on the left-leaning social media platform —facesa pair of preliminary criminal charges after heopened fireat the Washington Hilton hotel, where the dinner featuring the president was taking place. The suspect affirmed his “support for Ukraine” in his alleged Bluesky bio, according to ascreenshotshared on X by former Republican National Committee rapid response director Steve Guest.
“Hi! I’m a random California guy with posts about American politics, support for Ukraine, and observations of small creatures,” states the bio of anow-suspendedaccount — identifying as “coldForce” — on the platform. The account was Allen’s, The Post Millennialreported, citing an anonymous senior government official.
The account’s user called Vice President JD Vance a “piece of shit” in response to a clip ofVancesaying he was proud of the Trump administration for ceasing aid toUkraine, according to a screenshot shared on X by Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet. The vice president was also present at the dinner where Allen had fired multiple shots.
“[H]e’s proud that we don’t uphold our commitments,” the account allegedly belonging to Allen said in the same derogatory post hitting Vance for his stance on sending taxpayer money to the war-torn Eastern European nation.
Likewise, Ryan Routh, the middle-aged man who attempted to assassinate Trump — then the Republican presidential nominee — at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla. on Sept. 15, 2024, was also an avowed fanatical supporter of Ukraine.
“I AM WILLING TO FLY TO KRAKOW AND GO TO THE BORDER OF UKRAINE TO VOLUNTEER AND FIGHT AND DIE,” Routh, who wassentencedto a life imprisonment in February,wrotein a 2022 post to Twitter, The New York Timesreported.
In fact, Routh was such a die-hard supporter of the country that Ukraine’s foreign legion even took the step of vocally disavowing him and slamming his ideas as “delusional.”
Oleksandr Shaguri, a representative from the legion,toldCNN at the time the eventual would-be assassin reached out to the military unit several times but was continually rebuffed.
