This was not the first time the killed man had shown his willingness to assassinate Biden. He had expressed his violent desire several times on social media platforms. In the post dated July 21, Robertson wrote, “If I really told you what I’d like to do to Joe Biden, Facebook would censor me, and the FBI would pay me another visit.”

In another social media post mentioned in the filings, Robertson wrote: “Hey FBI, you still monitoring my social media? Checking so I can have a loaded gun handy in case you drop by again.”

The man had even indicated killing Vice President Kamala Harris in one of his posts. As per the filings, in his September 2022 posts, Robertson wrote, “The time is right for a presidential assassination or two. First Joe, then Kamala.”

Robertson was a former President Donald Trump‘s fan and called himself ‘MAGA Trump’ referring to Trump’s ‘Make America Great Again’ slogan. He often posted threats against Biden administration’s officials whom he believed were responsible for Trump’s legal troubles.
