After news broke that disgraced reporter Juan Thompson had been arrested in connection to bomb threats made to Jewish Community Centers, the Anti-Defamation League tweeted out several disconcerting and disturbing details about Thompson.
The ADL Center on Extremism has followed his past activities, including his deceptive reports for a news website about Dylann Roof.

Juan Thompson has tweeted various rants against white people, calling them “trash” and saying they “have no shame.”

Well then, that’s not good.
In 2016, Thompson announced that he was running for mayor of St. Louis, to “fight back against Trumpian fascism”.
— ADL (@ADL) March 3, 2017
But the Left was all about making these threats out to be some evil Trump supporter. Gosh, it sure doesn’t sound like Thompson was a Trumper.
Thompson also noted he was running for mayor to dismantle the system of “racial supremacy and greedy capitalism that is stacked against us.”
— ADL (@ADL) March 3, 2017
Hrm. Again, this doesn’t sound like the type of person the media and the Left has been implying this suspect would be.
When he lived in NYC, alleged #bombthreat suspect Juan Thompson co-hosted a Brooklyn TV show >> he & roommate discussed issues re: bigotry

After being fired from The Intercept, Thompson became more hostile to whites in general.

Ya’ don’t say.
For a time, Thompson used the Twitter screen name “Juan X” and described himself as a “former negro whisperer for white racists.”

Wha???
Thompson created a Gofundme page to raise $5,000 for his ostensible St Louis Mayoral election bid. He got $25.
— ADL (@ADL) March 3, 2017
Heh.
Per FBI, alleged suspect Juan Thompson forged e-mails & threats. As a journalist, he also allegedly made up sources & forged e-mails.
— ADL (@ADL) March 3, 2017
Thompson’s former employers, The Intercept, alleged he had engaged in a “pattern of deception” in his stories for them.
— ADL (@ADL) March 3, 2017
Thompson ranted against “the white New York liberal media [that] makes me vomit w/their arrogant, patronizing bigotry.”
— ADL (@ADL) March 3, 2017
Sorry media, doesn’t sound like he much cares for you guys either.
Thompson also described liberal media as “a hypocritical, pernicious, circle jerk featuring white elites.”
— ADL (@ADL) March 3, 2017
Juan Thompson’s hostility towards whites included white police; he referred to white cops as “the worst ppl” & “evil sociopaths.”
— ADL (@ADL) March 3, 2017
Shocker.
Juan Thompson described himself as a “socialist” and tweeted that “we don’t want America like NY, we want it like Havana.”
— ADL (@ADL) March 3, 2017
Socialism … that figures.
