The leftist terrorist that attacked a Jewish museum in the nation's capital
A radical leftist shot two people who worked at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C.
A leftist activist & terrorist murdered 2 Israeli embassy staff members at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. He walked up to a group of four and began shooting. He yelled out, “Free, free Palestine!” while staying behind, waiting to be arrested.
His LinkedIn account was quickly discovered. Elias Rodriguez is a resident of Chicago employed at AOIA, a healthcare non-profit.
Rodriguez was affiliated with the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). As seen below, he participated in a 2017 BLM protest outside then-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s home.
While there, Rodriguez was interviewed for a 2017 article in Liberation, PSL’s press. He expressed anti-capitalist and anti-white viewpoints.
Elias Rodriguez from the Party for Socialism and Liberation argued that the murder of Laquan McDonald and the Chicago bid for an Amazon headquarters are not two separate issues, but rather they are both connected.
“The wealth that Amazon has brought to Seattle has not been shared with its Black residents,” Rodriguez said. “[Amazon’s] whitening of Seattle is structurally racist and a direct danger to all workers who live in that city. So do we in Chicago and all across the country want a nation of cities dominated and occupied by massive corporations where only the rich and white can live and the vast majority of us must live on edges of the city and society living in deeper and deeper poverty?
“I don’t think so.”
Vigorous chants of “Justice for Laquan, not money for Amazon” followed Rodriguez’s speech as he stepped back into the crowd.
Liberation deleted the article less than 24 hours later. PSL put out an 𝕏 post distancing themselves from Elias Rodriguez.
His 𝕏 accounts were discovered. The original was banned.
The backup account had a 2-part manifesto: Escalate For Gaza, Bring The War Home.

The White House and Israel have responded.
"Free Palestine is just today's version of Heil Hitler."

Corrected some inaccurate info, added additional info, and updated the story.
The article was erroneously set to DOOMSDAY PARTY, rather than The Free Maverick, and has since been updated.
UPDATE:
AG Pam Bondi is seeking the death penalty for Rodriguez.
Turns out that the terrorist’s father was invited to President Donald Trump's March address to Congress as a special guest of Rep. Jesús 'Chuy' García (D-Ill.). Eric Rodriguez was brought in as a disabled Iraq War veteran for anti-Trump protests over DOGE cuts to the federal government.
UPDATE - 5/28/25:
Journalist Ken Klippenstein asked people familiar with Rodriguez if he’d expressed antisemitic views. According to them, while Rodriguez hated Israel and its policies, he didn’t give them the impression that he hated the Jews.
Everything I know about Elias leads me to believe he acted in protest of the Israeli State and Zionist ideology, not Judaism.
— a woman who knew Rodriguez
One person Klippenstein spoke with gave him access to private group chat messages that Rodriguez was a part of.
Despite being opposed to Israel’s Gaza genocide, Rodriguez harbors hatred for white people. He casually floated white genocide and the lifetime imprisonment of white people to fix America. Rodriguez's sympathies toward Stalin strongly suggest he’s a Stalinist, an old-school style of communism.

Seeing as Rodriguez allegedly admired self-immolated Airman Aaron Bushnell and mentioned him in a group chat before the shooting, here’s the DOOMSDAY PARTY op-ed on Bushnell’s suicide.
The tragedy & hilarity of Aaron Bushnell's retarded suicide
Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old member of the U.S. Air Force, set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. in protest. Bushnell left no doubt in our minds what his motivations were. His actions and beliefs are being praised by the woke left and mocked by the right. I am of a mixed mind about this; his actions were retarded, yet deeply artistic and comedic.
Thanks for reading. Stay tuned for more updates to this ongoing story.
