Staff Reports
The attempted assassin of former President Donald Trump, Thomas Matthew Crooks, had donated to the progressive fundraising entity ActBlue in 2021, according to FEC records. Despite his $15 contribution to ActBlue on President Biden’s inauguration day, Crooks was registered as a Republican to vote. It’s a strange mix, perhaps indicating confusion or a deeper motive behind his actions.
Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was described as a loner who faced bullying in school, painting a picture of a troubled individual. Interestingly, his parents have different political affiliations, with one being a Democrat and the other a Libertarian. The family background raises questions about how Crooks’ beliefs and actions were influenced.

The incident itself, where Crooks opened fire on President Trump, resulting in the tragic death of an innocent bystander, highlighted the chaotic scene at the rally. The fact that Crooks could position himself so close to the podium, outside the security perimeter, raises concerns about the event’s organization and security measures.
The case remains mysterious, and investigators have not identified a clear motive. The recovery of an AR-15 rifle near Crooks’ body, purchased by his father, adds another layer of complexity to the situation. The cooperation of Crooks’ family with the FBI shows a willingness to uncover the truth behind the shocking events that unfolded that day.
