he gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post.
Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh.
Sources said Crooks was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds.

Someone must have told Ss don’t shoot first.
That's the problem with Twitter.
Journos are in such a hurry to be the first to post breaking tweets that practically everything that comes out in the first few hours after a major event will turn out to be pure BS.
Now they're trying to say Crook was a registered Republican. True? Who knows? But voter registration screenshots are pretty easy to fake.

PA has 13 million people. Very plausible that there are multiple people with the same name and age.
Thank you.
Indeed he was Antifa as previously reported. Shocker.

See my post #28.
Good questions. Being a troublemaker should not be rewarded. It’s like paying someone to rob a bank.
It was easy to find his registration. He was registered Republican.
So, either he changed his mind later, or he just wanted to vote in the Republican primary.
I have the PA voter database current as of 2023, I think. Crooks lived at 2506 Milford Dr. Bethel Park, PA, and was registered as a Republican. Doesn’t really mean much, my father loved Donald Trump, and was a registered Democrat.
If that guy registered as a Republican,it could possibly have been to gaub access to events, or as some have suggested, to vote against MAGA candidates.
... gain access ... typing at sunrise before first covfefe of day ...
He probably caught autism from Tik-Tok, medicated, Weed. Probably suicidal, probably told people he was going to do it. Probably encouraged online.
Registered to vote for Haley likely.
I saw somewhere that he may have registered R just so he could vote against Trump in the primary?
THIS is the MONEY POST
HE has a long history of causing trouble.
