Who was Thomas Matthew Crooks? What we know about Trump’s attempted assassin
Fox News ^ | July 14, 2024 | Scott McDonald

The FBI has identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man from western Pennsylvania, as the person who attempted to assassinate former President Trump at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

Crooks reportedly shot Trump from a rooftop perch some 130 yards away during a rally in the small town, striking the upper part of Trump’s right ear while the former president was speaking to rallygoers ahead of next week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

One attendee was killed, and two others were injured during the incident, the agency said, and Crooks was shot dead. The victims have not been identified yet.

FOX claimed he was a registered Republican.

FOX also mentioned this psycho was once a member of Act Blue, an ultra left-wing democrat group.

FOX also showed a video of the punk graduating from high school and accepting his high school diploma.

Crooks was shot dead.

I'm glad he got what he deserved, but I suspect those who put him up to it are even happier. After all, "Dead men tell no tales".

Records show that he made a $15 donation to Progressive Turnout Project, a Chicago-based political action committee that supports Democrat candidates for public office and claims to advocate for "key Democratic constituencies: young people, minorities and low-income people."

”Registered Republican”… uh huh, right.

Yet another RINO. As others have said, he obviously registered Republican to try to affect Republican primaries in PA in 2022, and maybe 2024 (voting for Nikki Haley).

Looks might old to be 20.

I don’t think so.

I don’t watch CNN, but I’m guessing their report went something like this:

“20-year-old Registered Republican Matthew Crooks, a Pennsylvania man who registered as a Republican, is believed to be the lone gunman at the Trump rally where other Republicans were hit in addition to the former Republican president…”

PA has a closed primary system.

If a Democrat wants to vote in a republican primary, they must change their registration.

Yes, we all know who is behind this. It literally smacks you in the face. They are hardly even bothering to try to conceal it.

Harry Bridges, the former head of the International Longshoremen’s Union on the West Coast was a registered Republican and a notorious communist. It makes a good cloak for people like the murderer at the rally.

Yes, and it is factual.

There is an overwhelming possibility Crooks was participating in a Democrat "Operation Chaos" type of attempt to deny President Trump the Republican PRIMARY ELECTION win and the Candidacy by voting against him in the primary.
