Cesar Sayoc: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

Sayoc is a body builder and has abused steroids. He has made numerous false claims about himself and his background. He claimed during a 2014 deposition that he played soccer for A.C. Milan and arena football for the Arizona Rattlers, which both teams have denied. He claimed to have been a popular stripper, an owner of a strip club, and partner in Chippendales; the company says he never worked there and "has never been affiliated in any way with Chippendales". At the time of his 2012 bankruptcy he said he was employed as a store manager of Hassanco Investments in Hollywood, Florida. From January 2017 to January 2018, he worked part time making deliveries for a pizzeria in Fort Lauderdale. At the time of his arrest he was working as a DJ and doorman at a West Palm Beach strip club.

Sayoc is a registered Republican. He registered with the Republican Party on March 4, 2016. Sayoc filmed himself wearing a MAGA hat at one of the president's rallies. Sayoc was active on Twitter and Facebook, where since 2016 he was known for his extreme views and frequently posted pro-Trump and anti-liberal messages and memes, as well as right-wing conspiracy theories and stories from InfoWars, WorldNetDaily, and Breitbart News.

Sayoc's van was seized when he was apprehended. It was covered with images of Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, along with a sticker that read "CNN Sucks".Some posters also supported the "unconquered Seminoles", a Native American tribe. Sayoc has been described as proudly claiming Native American heritage, although the Seminole Tribe of Florida said there was no record of his being a member or employee of the tribe. Other stickers on the van showed Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, liberal documentarian Michael Moore, liberal CNN commentator and host Van Jones, and 2016 Green Party U.S. presidential candidate Jill Stein with gunsight crosshair designs on their faces. Moore stated on ''Late Night with Seth Meyers'' on November 2 that the FBI had visited his home to inform him that they discovered Sayoc's computer had evidence indicating he had done extensive research on him. Reports indicate that "soldering equipment, stamps, envelopes, paper, a printer and powder" were found in the van, suggesting that bombs could have been built in it. Law enforcement officials told reporters that Sayoc had a "hit list" of more than 100 people in his van and notified those on it but have not released the names publicly.
