...Thomas Crooks, 20, who was killed by US Secret Service after he fired at the former president at a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania on Saturday, had searched online for various high-profile figures as he “scoped out” the target for assassination, including an unnamed member of the British Royal family.

Vincent Taormina, who knew Crooks at school in 2016, told Fox News he was “smug” about politics and had mocked him for supporting Trump.

“He just did not like politicians, especially with the choices that we had,” he said. “He did not like our politicians.”

“I brought up the fact that I’m Hispanic and, you know, I’m for Trump. And he said, ‘Well, you’re Hispanic, so shouldn’t you hate Trump?’

“He called me stupid – or insinuated that I was stupid.”

The only unnamed Royal in America is that ungrateful Harry.

They are trying to o muddy the waters by insinuating he wanted to kill everyone. All lies.

The BS is in flood stage...The media had him with no political opinion just days ago...

And why the little trickle of information? It’s bull shit.

Shooters are nearly always insignificant types who want to be “the mouse that roared” celebrities.

Someone should have told the little creepy little sh!t that Trump was NOT a politician. He is a real estate Tycoon running for a second term as President.
