However, according to official Miami-Dade voting information, Cesar Sayoc was registered as a Republican since at least March 2016.

The false information of party affiliation spread despite Sayoc's anti-Democratic social media posts and gun scope stickers placed over popular Democratic party members on his van.
One social media post was a threat warning former Vice President Joe Biden to never leave his home.
In remarks Friday, President Trump acknowledged that Sayoc was a fan of his administration.
"I heard he was a person that preferred me over others but I did not see that,” said the president.
