Trump Shooter donated to Liberal cause

[wrbtrader]

The guy was a Republican considering he expressed himself as such to his classmates besides just being a registered Republican voter. Also, I know people who are a registered voter for one party while their parents, siblings, or friends are registered voters for the other party...it's not uncommon.

Also, some wealthy people donate to both political parties. Most likely they do it as a tax write-off while they're a registered voter for one particular party.

I find it strange that people here at the forum have threads about RINOs or Never-Trumpers that are Republicans but they then seem confused or in denial that a Republican would shoot or kill another Republican.​

The bigger question is, did the lunatic Crooks tell others what he had planned to do and did he have help doing it although he was the only shooter ???

The FBI should be able to tell us that within the next 1 - 2 weeks.

Another issue...was Crooks a decoy shooter and the more dangerous shooter was located somewhere else waiting for an opportunity that never appeared ???

Yeah... whatever. The kid continually spewed conservative dogma.

Trump Rally Gunman Was ‘Definitely Conservative,’ Classmate Recalls
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump...was-definitely-conservative-classmate-recalls

A former classmate of the 20-year-old man who tried unsuccessfully to kill former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday recalled him being staunchly to the right of the political spectrum. “He definitely was conservative,”

Max R. Smith told The Philadelphia Inquirer of Thomas Crooks. “It makes me wonder why he would carry out an assassination attempt on the conservative candidate.”

Smith shared an American history class with Crooks, and remembered a mock debate where their teacher made students stand on one side of the classroom or another to signal their allegiance. “The majority of the class were on the liberal side, but Tom, no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side,” Smith said. “That’s still the picture I have of him. Just standing alone on one side while the rest of the class was on the other.”

Crooks died in the assassination attempt. Trump, who suffered a minor injury to the ear, was “fine” Sunday after being treated at a local medical facility, his campaign said. One audience member was killed and two others critically injured amid the gunfire.

Read it at The Philadelphia Inquirer

Yet he donated democrat. Makes a ton of sense. Nice pattern recognition you have. You dismiss the mountain of data that doesn't support your claim.

He registered as republican so he could try to vote out Trump at the primary. PA requires you to be a registered republican to vote. His Dad was a far left democrat. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, my friend.

Right. Things are never what they seem...unless it suits you.

Meh, I assume he graduated high school a couple years ago. People's politics change all the time at that age. I remember bouncing back and forth with many views as I got new information and when conservatism didn't mean following a cult of personality. Honestly, he could have been radicalized into something in months.

I find it strange that people here at the forum have threads about RINOs or Never-Trumpers that are Republicans but they then seem confused or in denial that a Republican would assault or kill another Republican.

Just the same, there are Democrats that assault or kill another Democrat.

Heck, people assault or kill their own ethnicity, family member, school/university classmate, fellow employee, same religion...it happens every single day in America. Therefore, why are people in denial that a Republican would assault or kill another Republican?

It sounds like you are parroting a conspiracy theory, but I did notice Crooks' uncle on lookout in the crowd.

I don't think anyone's in denial about this. The labels of identity politics just don't work well when doing a deep dive. In addition, they work even worse when the person you're trying to label has clear mental health issues.

Label Crooks anything you want. The only conclusion that can be drawn w/ some assurance is there's a mental health crisis in America. Just another dumpster fire the current administration has to defend.

there's a mental health crisis in America.

Which goes really well with loose gun laws.

Loose gun laws? Lol, there's no end to the pivot & spin maneuver.

I could just as easily come back and say that public education is a cesspool of transfer payments to glorified baby sitters.

The bottom line is when you ask Joe to stand on his record... he looks in the garage for a box of 45s.

Even if taken at face, your comment says nothing of the mental health crisis you cited. Meanwhile guns, guns, and more guns.
