The man who shot and killed veteran and Trump supporter Lee Keltner at a Denver "Patriot Rally" has been revealed to be a long-time leftist who believes that Trump supporters are racist.
The conservative demonstrator was shot and killed by a man hired by NBC affiliate 9News as a security guard. Although the Denver Post originally identified the shooter as a Black Lives Matter supporter, the police later insisted that suspect Matthew Doloff was simply a "private security guard with no affiliation with Antifa."
UPDATE: Matthew Dolloff (DOB 03-07-1990) is being held for Investigation of First Degree Murder in connection w/the shooting that occurred yesterday at 10 W. 14th Ave. This remains an active investigation; any additional updates will be released as it becomes available. #Denver https://t.co/1Y7Yw7stL0 pic.twitter.com/Va3Lvc1CwT

But new evidence reveals that Doloff is indeed an outspoken leftist, and has made social media posts about confronting conservatives in the past.
"Ran into a Trump supporter with a Trump Button on their shirt. Told them i like their im a racist button. They had nothing to say. #fucktrump," Doloff wrote on Facebook in 2016.
Other social media posts reveal similar attitudes, including one captioned "FTP" (Fuck The Police) and another that is simply a photo of Trump captioned "Fuck this guy."
So the Denver @9NEWS security shooter, Matthew Robert Dolloff, now arrested for murder has quite the Facebook post history. From F@ck the Police (FTP), to sharing Occupy Denver/ Democrats, to his F@ck Trump.

What I can’t find is any kind of security/police/military background. pic.twitter.com/oPtb2YSpR3
After his social media posts revealing a combative attitude toward conservatives surfaced, many are questioning the validity of the claim that Doloff has "no affiliation with Antifa." Others simply want to know why a local news affiliate would hire someone with such a worldview as a security guard for a pro-Trump rally.
9News hired a Trump-hating, far left wing goon, gave him a gun, and brought him to a pro-Trump event.

The Denver security shooter is a vocal Bernie supporter, Leftist, and Occupy Activist

He doesn't seem to be antifa associated
Either way 9News should have vetted this person and not hired a political tribalist who said "left is best" to go armed to a counter protest
