The 31-year-old California man arrested after opening fire while charging a Secret Service checkpoint at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Dinner on Saturday had a public Bluesky account filled with aggressively anti-Trump rhetoric, criticism of Vice President JD Vance, strong support for Ukraine, and imagery implying violence.

Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, faces federal charges after the attempted assassination at the Washington Hilton, where President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and other administration officials were in attendance.

In a manifesto sent to relatives, and since made public, Allen admitted to targeting Trump administration officials, and left writings in his hotel room describing Trump as a “pedophile, rapist, and traitor.”

Allen had checked into the Hilton the day before the event, having traveled by train from Los Angeles.

It has now been revealed that Allen was active on Bluesky under the handle “coldForce,” with eye emojis replacing the “o”s.

The account’s bio described him as “a random Californian guy with posts about American politics, support for Ukraine, and observations of small creatures.”

The profile was suspended shortly after the shooting attempt.

An administration official provided some of the posts from his account to Jack Posobiec at The Post Millennial.

Allen’s posts repeatedly attacked President Trump. He called the president a “known traitor” who ran his campaign “on revenge,” “f-cked up the covid response,” and had “known connections [to a] murderous fucker in the kremlin.”

Responding to a discussion about the Epstein files, Allen wrote, “from the epstein files that have been released, it’s public knowledge that he likely IS basically a sociopathic mob boss. like that’s just literally who he is. people gotta stop treating him like someone who honors agreements.”

In another post, the failed assassin stated, “Trump is literally one of those villains that if you beat his ass hard enough, he’ll join your team.”

“I’m mostly suprised by this administration’s incompetence in fascism, I was expecting actual fighting to have started much earlier,” Allen wrote in another post.

Allen also used gifs and memes that appeared to endorse violence. He responded to a clip of President Trump with a GIF of an animated character delivering a violent slap.

In another instance, reacting to Trump criticizing Democrat-led cities, Allen shared a GIF of a man pumping a long rifle as if preparing to shoot.

In response to reports that the Trump DOJ might consider restrictions on transgender people owning guns, Allen advocated for them to buy guns.

Allen also took issue with Vice President JD Vance, blasting him for saying he was proud the U.S. had stopped funding Ukraine. He expressed repeated frustration over what he saw as insufficient media coverage of the Ukraine-Russia war and the Trump administration’s response to the conflict.

“I choose my own battlefields. Not through my blood, but with my heart. I stand on the battlefield to protect what I want,” Allen wrote in his bio on the leftist platform.

Allen was a part-time teacher at C2 Education in Torrance, where he was named “Teacher of the Month” in December 2024. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Caltech and a master’s in computer science from California State University, Dominguez Hills.

He described himself on LinkedIn as a mechanical engineer, computer scientist, independent game developer, and “teacher by birth.”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, his manifesto, sent to family members shortly before the incident and left in his hotel room, used even stronger language, listing administration officials as targets and criticizing hotel security.

“I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” Allen wrote in the manifesto.

“In order to minimize casualties, I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls). I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people *chose* to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that.”
