Jacob Wohl created "Drake Holmes," a "Minneapolis born and raised... diversity coordinator" with a rainbow flag in his bio.…
Minneapolis Police sent over the threats Jacob Wohl reported and were submitted into evidence. One of them is the "Drake Holmes" direct message shown in Wohl's documentary. "Holmes" was Wohl, sending DMs to himself. Credit to @webster for scooping the police report.
I talked to Aaron Delgado, the Minnesota realtor whose photo was used for Wohl's "Drake Holmes" creation. Delgado's picture was stolen from Instagram. He has no idea why he was chosen. "One of my clients messaged me. My face was making national news for all the wrong reasons."
Aaron doesn't follow politics but wants people to know he had no idea who Jacob Wohl was until his identity was stolen. He's wondering if he needs an attorney. "It’s completely random. I have no idea how any of this happened," he told me. "I don't even have cable."
