I am still waiting for the FBI investigation to take its course (although it will be rightfully massively scrutinized due to weaponization by Biden DOJ), but here are a few thoughts on the shooter…..
1. According to Fox News……the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, "was a registered Republican (which the Ancient Media is making a huge deal out of)……according to voting records, but he only participated in the Nov. 8, 2022, state election, due to his age……" It has been reported by Breaking GNN that "Pennsylvania has Closed Primaries, and it’s possible he registered as a Republican to vote against Trump in the GOP Primary election."
All of this tells me that Mr. Crooks was a "crossover" voter, meaning he only registered as a Republican in order to vote in the Primary and/or General election to defeat a candidate they are opposed to….in this case, it was former President Trump. It is a tactic used by both parties in the past. I have seen it used before and even had friends do it. I personally have major problems with this tactic for some time now and absolutely refuse to do it myself.
2. Based upon all the media reports, etc…….I would be willing to bet that it might be a good idea to dig into his past. It just doesn’t make since at all that someone who is a registered Republican would be donating pretty much exclusively to Democratic organizations like ActBlue and the DNC. This would be like someone being a registered Democrat and pretty much exclusively donating to WinRed (GOP version of ActBlue) and the RNC. Personally, I would avoid BOTH WinRed and ActBlue as they just fund the national parries and not the candidates.
3. Let the FBI investigation to take its course (although it will be rightfully massively scrutinized due to weaponization by Biden DOJ) before drawing any conclusions. I would guess that we’re looking at a few weeks before we’ll get some definitive answers to what happened, what went wrong, what needs to happen to make sure something like what happened Saturday NEVER happens again, and what needs to happen to those responsibilities for the failures to protect President Trump in the future.
4. far-left Democrats Bennie Thompson Troy Carter (D-LA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Frederica Wilson (D-FL), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), Joyce Beatty (D-OH), and Steve Cohen (D-TN) just a month ago introduced legislation to strip Secret Service Protection from President Trump in a pure political move and this happens. Someone should ask them if they still plant to push this bill and still stand by it.
Last I checked, people are letting Congressman Thompson have it over this.
Let’s keep President Trump, the Trump family, and the victims of the assassination attempt in our thoughts and prayers.
