Cole Allen charged a Secret Service checkpoint with a shotgun, willing to die for a shot at the President.
Caltech graduate. Master's in computer science.
From what looks like a good family.
His archived tweets tell the story of how he got there.
What radicalized him weren't fringe accounts. They were the same talking points repeated every day on the left.
Leading up to November 2024, Allen repeatedly shared posts from Kamala Harris and MeidasTouch:
He shared sitting Democrats — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, J.B. Pritzker, Elizabeth Warren, Sheldon Whitehouse:
I’m the first person in the world to find and report on these archived tweets. This kind of reporting takes time, and I do it independently — funded entirely by readers. If you appreciate my work, please consider becoming a paid subscriber.
He retweeted mainstream Democrat commentators comparing Trump to Hitler. Jennifer Rubin: “Imagine obsessing over polls in the 1933 German election without covering Mein Kampf. That is what is going on now.” And: “Trump is instigating a pogrom. This is what fascists do.”
He retweeted a post saying “Voting for Jill Stein is such embarassing shit.” Another read: “We’ll either have the first woman president or the end of America.” He shared a Noah Smith post on Trump cancelling the CHIPS Act, and a YourAnonCentral post saying to “ground Trump’s planes and confiscate his passport” if he lost.
Once Trump won, Allen accepted the framing that a “fascist convicted felon” had become president.
He shared Bill Kristol’s claim that “the Trumpist authoritarian project of personalized, concentrated, and arbitrary power is proceeding.”
He shared the conspiracy theories popular on X — that Trump staged the Butler assassination attempt, that Elon Musk’s Starlink stole the 2024 election. Andrea Chalupa: “This Starlink story is really taking off.” Allen called for a recount.
Allen wasn’t just amplifying. He was writing.
On November 4, 2024, the day before the election: “Go vote tomorrow. I voted Kamala a week ago cause Cali mail-in ballots.”
The next day, he quote-tweeted Tiffany Trump’s post about her father, replying with scripture: “You belong to your father, the devil…”
On November 7, when Biden congratulated Trump on the win, Allen wrote: “And thus he completes his role of Hindenburg, an old, well-respected politician who through careful adherence to rules walked fascism into power.”
That same day, he posted: “the positive of having elected someone who will accelerate climate change and either give putin america’s nukes or set them off randomly:”
These are not fringe accounts. They are mainstream Democratic voices, MSNBC contributors, sitting members of Congress, the most-shared political commentators on social media.
Cole Allen looked like he came from a good family. Caltech. Master's in computer science. His political beliefs mirrored mainstream Democrat talking points — the same ones repeated every day on cable news, in congressional speeches, in viral social media posts.
And he charged a Secret Service checkpoint with a shotgun, willing to die for a shot at the President.
This is why the left constantly calls Trump “Hitler,” ICE the “Gestapo,” and us “fascists.” That rhetoric is how violence gets justified — against Trump, against Charlie, against any of us.
Cole Allen is not an aberration.
A 2025 study by the Network Contagion Research Institute, conducted with Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, found that 55% of left-of-center respondents said the murder of Donald Trump was “at least somewhat justified.” 48% said the same of Elon Musk. Roughly 60% said it was at least somewhat acceptable to destroy a Tesla dealership in protest.
These were not abstract numbers.
Throughout 2025, Tesla dealerships, vehicles, and charging stations were attacked with Molotov cocktails, arson, and gunfire. By late March, there had been at least 80 reported cases of vandalism or arson against Tesla. The FBI launched a dedicated task force. The Attorney General called it domestic terrorism. Federal indictments stacked up across Colorado, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, and Nevada.
In September 2025, Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk in the neck at Utah Valley University. Robinson told family he had “had enough of [Kirk’s] hatred.” Utah Governor Spencer Cox said Robinson was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.” Robinson’s mother told investigators that over the past year, her son had become more political — and started leaning further to the left.
And now: Cole Allen. The fourth assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
Butler, Pennsylvania — Thomas Crooks, July 2024. West Palm Beach — Ryan Routh, September 2024. Mar-a-Lago — Austin Tucker Martin, armed with a shotgun, February 2025. The Washington Hilton — Cole Allen, April 2026.
Four attempts. One pattern. The same talking points feeding all of it.
The “Luigi left” is growing.
Even Caltech grads from good families, repeating mainstream Democrat talking points, are willing to die for a shot at the President.
