Authorities have named the now-deceased Trump gunman as one Thomas Matthew Crooks. Of course, they released this information when most of us were sleeping.
Mia Cathell (@MiaCathell) ~ NYP has ID'ed the Trump shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks, who graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022. Here's footage of him accepting his diploma at commencement. Crooks received the National Math & Science Initiative Star Award for academic achievement.

Since this information was casually dropped overnight, several people on the Left have seized on the fact that Crooks' party affiliation is listed as Republican. Awww yes, this gives Democrats such relief because they certainly don't want to admit that feeding their supporters a nonstop buffet of hate, fear, and paranoia MIGHT set some not-so-mentally-well person off in a horrible way.
EXCEPT, his affiliation likely means bupkis.
Sounds like Crooks donated money to ActBlue:
Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) ~ NOT SO FAST: About those reports the Trump shooter was a “registered Republican” and therefore must have been a Trump supporter.
The National Pulse is reporting that one Thomas Crooks of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania made a contribution to progressive PAC ActBlue.
OH, and yeah, to Biden himself ...
Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) ~ More: @libsoftiktok is reporting he donated to President Biden on his inauguration day.
On his inauguration day.
Again, probably NOT something a Republican would do.
Pennsylvania is a closed primary state which means it's not uncommon for people to switch parties in the primaries so they can stick the other party with a candidate they think they can beat. Of course, we can't say for certain this is what Crooks did, but considering we know for a fact many Democrats did want Oz to run against Fetterman ... well, it makes more sense than some Republican voter donating a bunch of money to Democrats including Biden and then OH YEAH, trying to kill the GOP nominee.
Just sayin'.
LadyKat47 (@Lmvm71) ~ Every shooting, the left says it's a Republican, and it always comes out that they are Democrats - always.
There is most definitely a pattern.
Sadly.

Once again, not something a Republican would likely do.
Please note, this is a developing story and we will update as we learn more.
