Revealed: Donald Trump shooter is a 20-year-old registered Republican who donated to Biden - as his father says he is trying to work out 'what the hell is going on
Daily Mail UK ^ | July 14, 2023 | Matt Strudwick

The gunman who shot Donald Trump last night is a 20-year-old registered Republican who donated to Joe Biden.

Thomas Matthew Crooks was shot dead by a US Secret Service sniper after he opened fire on the former President during a rally in Pennsylvania.

His father, Matthew Crooks, 53, told CNN he was trying to figure out 'what the hell is going on' but would 'wait until I talk to law enforcement' before speaking.

Crooks had fired at least eight bullets from a rooftop just 130 yards from where Trump, 78, was on stage in Butler speaking to thousands of fans at 6.15pm.

Law enforcement sources told CBS News that Crooks, from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, had been armed with 'an AR-style rifle'.

During the attack, he appeared to be wearing merchandise promoting one of YouTube's most popular channels devoted to firearms - Demolition Ranch - NBC News reported.

Special Agent Kevin Rojek, the FBI officer in charge, said Crooks had been identified using DNA as he was not carrying any ID on him.

State voter records show Crooks was a registered Republican. According to US media, when he was aged 17 he donated $15 to the liberal ActBlue political action committee on January 20, 2021 - Biden's Inauguration Day.

Last night a bomb squad and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were at an address registered to Crooks as cops stood guard in front of yellow police caution tape.

A member of the crowd was killed in the deadly shooting, while two others who were wounded are in a critical condition. All three are males, according to law enforcement officials.

Democrat Bennie Thompson, ranking member, House Committee on Homeland Security

Democrat Bennie Thompson introduced the absurdly named "Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act (HR 8081)" on April 19, 2024.

Democrat co-sponsors include Reps:
<><>Yvette D. Clarke,
<><>Troy A. Carter Sr.,
<><>Frederica Wilson,
<><>Bonnie Watson Coleman,
<><>Jasmine Crockett,
<><>Joyce Beatty,
<><>Barbara Lee,
<><>Steve Cohen

Question: who put these Democraps up to facilitating a Trump assassination?

Cong Bennie Thompson
<>headed the infamous Jan. 6th Commission
<>and crafted a bill to strip Trump of his Secret Service detail.

Thompson aide and field director, tax paid Jacqueline Marsaw
on social media, wished Trump’s assassin had “better aim.”

Republicans don’t donate to actBLUE - but Dems did register R to try to affect primary results.

“Republicans don’t donate to actBLUE”

I’ve seen pictures of that kid. He did not strike me as a Republican.

As always, the only "facts" you will hear or see, are what the Deep State WANTS you to hear and see. The scrubbing, scripting, and ACTUAL shooter will be the same as the JFK "facts", which are NEVER going to be fully known.

THIS is probably NOT going to be the last attempt, unfortunately, and knowing Trump's nature, he will be traveling in a "Popemobile", and surrounded by glass, but WILL continue with his rallies, and hiring PRIVATE Security of his own (NO government protection can be trusted).

Sounds like a change of the narrative to me, to make him seem an angry white male.

Yep. No way was he a Trump supporter. He donated to ActBlue at age 17, so he was left-leaning before he was old enough to vote.

I think he registered back in the spring as a Republican....to vote for Haley in the primary.

On the gun...he’s unemployed (suspect he attends some college), and I’d ask how he afforded the weapon.

Something about this kid and story makes me ask if he has a license, and if not...how he got to the event?

Just a lot of Oswald/Sirhan-Sirhan ‘colors’ in this story.
