Tucker Carlson sparks panic as he exposes Trump shooter's ties to foreign terror group

Tucker Carlson's latest exposé is sending shockwaves through MAGA circles after the former Fox News host suggested that Trump's failed assassin, Thomas Crooks, may be connected to a foreign terror group.

Carlson's investigative team released a 34-minute video diving into the online history of Crooks, the 20-year-old would-be assassin who shot Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July 2024. Crooks' bullet came within less than an inch of penetrating Trump's skull.

More than a year after the assassination attempt, the FBI has yet to release a clear motive for why Crooks tried to shoot Trump or whether he acted alone or in coordination with others.

Carlson's uncovered YouTube comments allegedly posted by Crooks from 2019-2020, revealing the shooter's long digital history of making calls for assassinations and political violence. Crooks' YouTube comments indicate he radically shifted his ideology from pro-Trump towards the far left.

During the final phase in 2020 of Crook's YouTube commenting, the shooter began interacting with a suspicious user 'Willy_Tepes' who appeared to encourage Crooks to commit political violence.

He wrote to Crooks on August 4, 2020, 'If a gun and a badge is all that is needed, then authority obviously comes from the barrel of a gun. We have more guns than they do ;)'

'There is no way we can avoid a war at this point, so you just better get used to the idea,' he added.

Carlson claims that Tepes's name is listed on a foreign Antifa website connecting him to the Nordic Resistance Movement - a neo-Nazi group based in Scandinavia which has been designated a terrorist organization by the State Department.

The deep-dive from the former Fox News stemmed from a tip he received from an anonymous...

What happened to Crook’s parents?
I recall seeing photos of the Dad. He never made any sort of comment, not even the ‘he was a good Boy, who lit up every room!’ kind of remark.
Did they move out of that house?

Well this makes more sense than does what others have released, at least. With his parents he was pro-Trump bbecause they were, but somone in the terrorist world convinced him that Trump was evil.

If true, he was one confused little boy.

I’m really confused. Read a story today that basically said that Tucker claimed Crooks was MAGA. Which is it???

Tepes’s name is listed on a foreign Antifa website connecting him to the Nordic Resistance Movement-a group based in Scandinavia which has been designated a terrorist organization by the State Department.
AND….Ryan Routh was Antifa also:
https://x.com/Fakhravar/status/1835462669568029045
Routh was a liberal with posts such as, “Ryan Wesley Routh is an antifa, pro-palestinian, Dem, LGBTQ+,” and “President Trump’s assassin is a proud Democrat and a proud peaceful LGBTQ activist!”
At least two US Antifa leaders are hanging out in Scandinavia.
Antifah groups are all over Europe.

“Carlson claims that Tepes’s name is listed on a foreign Antifa website connecting him to the Nordic Resistance Movement - a neo-Nazi group based in Scandinavia which has been designated a terrorist organization by the State Department.”

This group’s Norwegian branch, Nordiske Motstandsbevegelsen, is linked to the Swedish branch of the Order of Nine Angles, the Temple of the Black Light aka Misanthropic Luciferian Order (Misantropiska Lucifer Ordern aka MLO).

Tucker never claimed Crooks wa MAGA. He said Crooks initially supported Trump, supposedly, but changed.

One thing that has bothered me is that Crooks's cell phone pings have
been tracked to the vicinity of FBI headquarters. Odd is it not?

Antifa has a huge network and not just in the US. They have operatives all over the US(BHO’s army), the EU and Scandinavia.
US designates European Antifa groups as terrorists:
https://www.rt.com/news/627801-us-europe-antifa-terrorists/
They are the islamocommie assassination team.
Two tries on Trump, killed Charlie Kirk and many others in the US.
https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/antifa-trump-terror-organisation-charlie-kirk-killing-13934763.html
Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if they had a mole in the FBI and that Antifa gets kill orders from high up in the islamocommie party.
These people are ruthless….but we all knew it.
