Donald Trump barely survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13—a fatal headshot was missed by millimeters. The would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was perched on an unprotected rooftop less than 200 yards from the rally stage. Secret Service snipers killed him during the attack. What was his motive? We don’t know the official narrative from federal authorities, which is becoming a recurring conclusion of such investigations by the FBI. Yet, a social media clue might point us in the right direction.
It's a platform that has a disreputable reputation for being a haven for neo-Nazis and other lunatics, but Crooks allegedly had an account on Gab where he voiced his support for Joe Biden, COVID lockdowns, and Biden immigration policies. Gab co-founder Andrew Torba posted remarks made allegedly by Crooks on his site per requests from law enforcement:
NEW: Thomas Matthew Crooks made nine posts on Gab supporting President Biden, COVID lockdowns, and Biden's border policies, according to Gab Founder Andrew Torba (@BasedTorba).
"Im sorry explain to me how trump was ever concerned with what the left wanted, or anybody in the GOP for that matter?""The reason all the deaths are down is because you are in stuck in your house."
"Actually the executive order allows an easier path to US citizenship therefore no longer making them illegals and allowing children to join their already legalized immigrant parents in the US."
"first of all Biden executive orders don't incentivize human trafficking as human traffickers aren't interested in citizenships, likewise the majority of illegal immigrants are not criminals and in fact some studies(such as the one linked below) show lower rates of crime committed by these individuals, it is also unclear if the extensive path to citizenship is in fact effective at routing out potential bad actors hence why there is a review of that system."
"Thats funny because the first order mandates a reuniting of any families separated at the border, the 2nd and 3rd orders a review of trumps immigration policies and other previous policies. However his order doesn't actually open borders or reduce the authority of border patrol, or anything that would substantially reduce BP effectiveness."

Confirmation based on an "emergency disclosure request from a law enforcement agency," according to Gab Founder Andrew Torba (@BasedTorba).https://t.co/saTq02CnE5— KanekoaTheGreat (@KanekoaTheGreat) July 24, 2024
Is this a clue or another fake Steam account incident that should embarrass the FBI? During a briefing to lawmakers about the assassination attempt, a Steam account was cited as evidence, but it was later determined to be fake.
We’ll keep you updated.
Crooks scaled the rooftop despite being spotted by law enforcement with a rangefinder. Law enforcement was in the adjacent structure to the American Glass Research rooftop. Crooks also allegedly flew a drone over the rally site for aerial surveillance. Secret Service snipers had Crooks in their sights for two minutes, and the agency knew of a threat against Trump ten minutes before he took the stage. The security lapses were glaring, so Kimberly Cheatle, who submitted her resignation as Secret Service director, faced a grilling by lawmakers on Monday.
It's a layer cake of incompetence and serial coincidences that have fed conspiracy theories. And in this rare instance, you can’t dismiss those claiming something funny is up because something is wrong here. At this rally, no one was watching the biggest security vulnerability—the roof? Why? Cheatle couldn’t answer that question. She was mocked for saying the roof was sloped, which would be dangerous to the agents stationed there.
Clue-—the lying Pravda media and their 24/7 of lies and violent rhetoric...
So Law Enforcement spotted Crooks by using a rangefinder? Or Law Enforcement spotted Crook who was carrying a rangefinder? This is what passes for journalism.
How about "Crooks, who was carrying a rangefinder, was spotted by law enforcement as he scaled a roof."
He sounds like most of the libs that I see posting all over. A lot of them might not be as gun savvy.
It is no worse than Facebook, TikTok, etc., except it allows free speech across the political spectrum.
Facebook, etc., allow IslamoNazis and Leftist lunatics to have free rein, while banning speech right of center. These Leftist platforms exercise editorial oversight, so they essentially endorse the political speech they do not censor.
Gab is more reputable because they are not endorsing any of the speech.
He was just trying to help the libtards save democracy by whacking their political opponent before the election
Another Rachel Mancow fan going violent. Dimrats should not be allowed to own guns.
Bkmrk
Looking for the motive which we will never know is a distraction they use to not investigate any of the actual events of the day. Cuz then you would see how incompetent they are.
“It’s a platform that has a disreputable reputation for being a haven for neo-Nazis and other lunatics, but Crooks allegedly had an account on Gab where he voiced his support for Joe Biden...”
The left accuses every right-wing website of being “a haven for neo-Nazis and other lunatics”.
Et tu, Townhall?
SQUIRREL!
“At this rally, no one was watching the biggest security vulnerability—the roof?”
Not only that, the punk 20 year old made a beeline straight for the building offering an unobstructed view of the dais and he knew nobody would be on that “sloped roof.” What a coincidence.
Would it be a huge leap of logic to just say his motive was to kill Trump?
I vote for you as official editor of EVERYTHING!
Serial coincidences feed conspiracy theories because they logically lead to the conclusion that they were not coincidences at all but were intentional and part of a larger plan. All the coincidences at the Butler rally point to a planned operation that was much more than just an assassination attempt by an amateur.
The question arises, why would a president like Joe Biden, who believes Trump is Hitler and an existential threat to the country, not consider it his duty to act to protect the country from this threat? And if Biden were to act to protect the country from what he believes is an existential threat, what would he do?
Wouldn't the Butler rally assassination attempt be exactly what he would do? Have a professional assassin remove this existential threat while making it look like the work of a wacky amateur.
Seems this Rhodes scholar had his jammies wadded up over immigration and Trump. Given the incredibly poor logic in his Gab posts, he was clearly an easy target for radicalization.
MOTIVE.......”I HATE TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS”! PERIOD!
Guys....check out and document 5his channel.
