Far-right suspect in Queens hoax bombing already under investigation

Law enforcement officials say police were already investigating Shenker, and have arrested him twice for other disruptive stunts. On Dec. 30, he was arrested for criminal mischief and two counts of low-level arson for allegedly burning a poster affixed to a NYPD barricade, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. Shenker repeatedly engaged in a variety of similar stunts including anti-mask actions, which he documented on Instagram.

Shenker appeared on the online conspiracy webcast InfoWars in December, where he pushed false conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, coronavirus, and a plot to take over the world. He implored “100,000 people at minimum to come to New York City” to protest a litany of causes outside of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s residence, including the false conspiracy theory that “Donald John Trump is the rightful winner of this election.

A review of an Instagram account, confirmed by three senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation to belong to Shenker, shows Shenker burning a photo of George Floyd with a caption that refers profanely to Floyd and insults the Black Lives Matter movement.
