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...

Patel came out , dukes up, defending the 450 FBI agents thousands of interviews,etc,etc, which only goes to prove again, it’s easy to miss something if you know what you’re looking for.

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

I was going to say the same thing.

I was mad at Tucker earlier. Now I'm going to have to like him again.

The excerpt that answers it all:

The episode earned a response from FBI Director Patel on Friday.

He wrote in a post to his official X page: The FBI’s investigation into Thomas Crooks identified and examined over 20 online accounts, data extracted from over a dozen electronic devices, examination of numerous financial accounts, and over 1,000 interviews and 2000 public tips.

‘The investigation, conducted by over 480 FBI employees, revealed Crooks had limited online and in person interactions, planned and conducted the attack alone, and did not leak or share his intent to engage in the attack with anyone.’

Anyone remember when media said the assassination attempts were financed by Iran?

“Not at all. Look up Tepes. It’s all about Adolf Hitler.”

So what? Remember the guy who shot John Paul II? He was a right wing terrorist too. The crazed rightists helping the crazed leftists and vice versa isn’t new.

How does that spark shock waves? Not seeing it.
The kid became violent when he became a leftist. Sounds accurate.

“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?”

As I remember, he just happened to also be in a Blackrock commercial.

Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi, and Todd Blanche are replicating the same behavior that Federal law enforcement has engaged in for decades: promoting the “lone nut” narrative, denying any connections to foreign or domestic enemies, covering up any failings or misdeeds by the FBI, Secret Service, etc., destroying evidence that contradicts the official story. President Trump is in the crosshairs of the Deep State and other enemies. For his own safety and that of his family, he must remove all four immediately.
