A suspect accused of fatally shooting two Israeli embassy workers in Washington now faces the prospect of the death penalty amid revelations of alleged ties to radical groups. In an unexpected twist, a young social media personality controversially called on followers to support the accused, intensifying scrutiny over extremist rhetoric.
Reality doesn't matter to the "Free Palestine" crowd: the terrorist who shot and killed two Israeli embassy workers was acting on a blood libel that's a millennium old.
Elias Rodriguez, the suspected terrorist who allegedly gunned down two Israeli embassy workers in Washington, has been affiliated with socialist anti-Israel groups.
Guy Christensen — a baby-faced, keffiyeh-wearing 19-year-old from Pennsylvania who goes by the online handle “YourFavoriteGuy" — raged on TikTok that people need to “support" the accused DC Jewish Museum killer, prompting the online giant to take the rare step of quickly yanking the post.
Prosecutors say they are considering the death penalty for the suspect accused of fatally shooting two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. CBS News Justice Department correspondent Scott MacFarlane reports.
