Phoenix Ikner was removed from a school political club over ‘far-right rhetoric’ he shared, his classmates claim

The suspect in the Florida State University shooting shared white supremacist views with concerned classmates before yesterday’s attack that killed two people and injured six others, it is claimed.

Seybold, the group’s president, told NBC Ikner had been asked to leave because “he espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric and far-right rhetoric”.

    The article is short, but more context on “the group”:

    Following the attack, a classmate at Ikner’s former school, Tallahassee State College, claimed to a local news outlet how the suspect was told to leave a “political round table” club over far-right views he shared.

    Reid Seybold said: “He [Ikner] espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric, and far-right rhetoric as well, to the point where we had to exercise that rule.”
