Will Sommer reports at The Daily Beast:
Right-wing personality Jacob Wohl appears to have faked death threats against himself. One of those threats came via direct message from a Twitter account called @Drakehomes612, who described himself as a Minneapolis “diversity coordinator.”
“I hope you fuckin know that if [I] bump into you in Dinkytown or anywhere else in my city I’m going shoot you and shit on your fucking bodies,” the account wrote to Wohl’s team. “Get that fuck out my city you piece of shit. Now.”
As journalist Tony Webster first reported, though, @Drakehomes612 isn’t real. Instead, he’s one of the fake accounts Wohl created in the run-up to his Twitter ban.
You’ll totally enjoy the full story at the link. Twitter has been having a field day and Wohl is currently trending at #1.
Jacob Wohl reported a death threat to the Minneapolis Police Department. Small problem: he wrote the threat to himself from a fake account he created, posing as a gay Hispanic “diversity coordinator,” who does not really exist. https://t.co/o8sgpMWP8J

Jacob Wohl is the only person who used the Jussie Smollett story as inspiration. https://t.co/fHnXy2JgmD

In the right-wing ‘documentary’ on Rep. Ilhan Omar released tonight by Jacob Wohl, Laura Loomer, and Ali Alexander, they included this screenshot of a threat they received. There’s one problem: NBC News earlier reported that Jacob Wohl created the account which sent the “threat”. pic.twitter.com/phGxZJ7V3I

Here’s a video clip showing Jacob Wohl reporting threats he received to the Minneapolis Police Department, and a screenshot of one particular “threat”—but the avatar image matches a fake Twitter account NBC News and The Daily Beast reported Wohl created. pic.twitter.com/bV7EZarJk8

So will that little stain on humanity Jacob Wohl be arraigned and charged as swiftly as Jussie Smollett for filing a false police report? Will there be a press conference discussing his efforts to incite hatred?

Jacob Wohl’s mother did not love him enough to bribe his way into even a crap film school. https://t.co/L6C6eAhtzS

The Twitter account Jacob Wohl is accused of using to send death threats to himself before reporting them Minneapolis Police included an avatar image of an actual Minnesota real estate agent who had nothing to do with this.
