What happened during the deadly D.C. shooting?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to The Megan Kelly Show. Two young Israeli embassy staffers murdered by an anti-Israel man yelling a chant heard for years now on liberal college campuses and streets of major cities. Free, free Palestine. Also, there is only one solution. Intifada revolution. It happened last night around 9 p.m. outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. According to eyewitnesses, the alleged gunman, Elias Rodriguez, was seen sitting calmly on a bench outside of the event and then pacing back and forth. He approached a group of people leaving the museum and shot two of them at close range. Rodriguez then calmly walked back inside the museum.
And in the chaos of the scene, people initially thought he was a victim. One witness saying the shooter said, I did it. I did it for Gaza. Free, free Palestine. Another witness described those moments to Fox 5 local in DC.
I did see somebody run in. The security guard happened to let this guy in. I guess they were thinking that he was a victim. And he was covered in rain. He was clearly in trauma. He was in shock. And some of the people at the event brought him water. They sat him down. Are you okay? Were you shot? What happened? He's like, He's like, somebody call the cops, bring the cops in. So about 10 minutes later, when the cops actually came in, he put his hands up. He grabbed a red coffee out of his pocket and started the Free Palestine chants. You know, there's only one solution and to fight a revolution. And he was being dragged out of the building as he was yelling Free Palestine.
while he was being arrested, the shooter could again be heard screaming free Palestine. And it was caught on tape. That video there from Yuval David. The victims were 28-year-old Yaron Lashinsky and his girlfriend, Sarah Milgram. Yaron reportedly had apparently planned to propose to Sarah next week during a trip to Jerusalem. awful. Here's what we know about the suspect. He's 30 years old. He's got an online biography that says he was born and raised in Chicago. His LinkedIn profile says he graduated from the University of Illinois, Chicago. The Daily Mail and New York Post report that in the past, Rodriguez was involved in activism with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, not to mention Black Lives Matter. The
The Party for Socialism is a far-left group that regularly posts anti-Israel rhetoric. The group confirmed Rodriguez's membership online, but distanced itself from the shooting, stating, we have nothing to do with the shooting and do not support it. Cool. However, a few hours earlier, the group had tweeted, the world will not forget the crimes of the U.S. and Israel. In 2017, this guy participated in a BLM led protest regarding the 2014 police involved shooting of Laquan McDonald and Chicago's efforts to bring Amazon's headquarters to the city. The sign Rodriguez held up said red money for people's needs, not Amazon. In an interview, Rodriguez said whitening of Seattle is structurally racist and a direct danger to all workers who live in that city. Wow.
Who is the alleged shooter and what is his background?
According to the Jerusalem Post, Rodriguez made a political donation to the Joe Biden campaign in 2020. A short time ago, Ken Klippenstein, an independent journalist who used to work for The Intercept, posted to his own website Rodriguez's alleged manifesto. Please understand, these sometimes turn out to be not the manifesto. But in it, Klippenstein writes, quote, I am publishing it here not to glorify the violence, but so the public can better understand the truth of what happened. I believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant, especially when politics is involved, as the document makes clear is the case here. That's Klippenstein. But the alleged manifesto. Again, heavy caveat here. I've covered so many of these damn fucking shootings, and we often turn out to have what's allegedly a manifesto, and it's not the manifesto. In any event, this one reads, take it for what it's worth, public opinion has shifted against the genocidal apartheid state, and the American government has simply shrugged.
