State voter records show that Crooks was a registered Republican, according to US media.
He is also reported to have donated $15 to liberal campaign group ActBlue in 2021.
Thank god he's not a leftist. They can threaten to put Blue MAGA people in prison for all I care. If he was an ML or Anarchist, comrades would be shot.
It literally doesn't matter, people will blame who they want to blame. We exist in a post facts reality
I wouldn’t be surprised tho if this gets spinned against the left anyway.
Oh it will, remember a lot of Trump's supporters think the Dems are Communists in the first place.
Well, yeah, but perhaps that implies they don't know who the actual communists are, so they will still target the "commie" demonrats
a communist would have finished the job, but also have the sense to not do it in the first place
The article says he was wearing a Demolition Ranch t-shirt, which is pretty on the nose if you ask me. Demolition Ranch is a youtube gun-nut channel that practically worships trump. It sounds more like a disguise an hysterical lib would wear.
Doesn’t matter. TMZ posted a picture and he looks like a chud caricature of a liberal man. Like the picture should have Ben Garrison’s signature in the corner and the words “Average Liberal Soy Boy” across the shooter’s shirt.
Are we thinking of the same guy? The one that looked like every basement dwelling 4chan groyper?
The one I saw was with him aiming the rifle with his silky hair gleaming in the sun. Has there been a better picture since then?
Long hair and glasses makes him a liberal?
To the chud mind, 100% yes.
Every single depiction of a liberal male by chuds has long hair, one or more piercings, glasses, and frequently a surgical mask or one of those pink hats
Pert. Yet supple.

I don't know why it will be so satisfying to watch libs, powerless to do anything when Trump wins. And this gave him a boost.
What a coincidence. In Brazil, Bolsonaro also suffered an homicide attempt in the eve of the elections. This is the second something like this happens, following the same recipe.
I hope it's history repeating itself as a tragedy... Rather than the alternative.
But Bolsonaro lost the last election and the insurrection.
He won the election after being stabbed.
Bolsonaro won the 2018 election and lost the 2022 election because: Lula da Silva is very popular, Bolsonaro fucked up his own goverment and failed to organize a coup
Slovakia PM was also shot a few months ago.
I really don't want read about it. Can someone please tell me if we definitively know:
Yes to both, grazed or pierced part of his upper ear.
He was bleeding immediately which was the first hint to most people watching via video that something was wrong after he got back up. It's on so many cameras and NYT seems to have a picture of the bullet or its trail behind him. This is hard to dispute.
Whether it was a bullet or not is impossible to say. It certainly looked like a bullet wound from something that grazed his ear and he reacts in the video like someone who felt something strafe his ear or pierce the upper part of it and it follows immediately from the sounds of gunshots. That's what they're claiming, what Trump is claiming but if one is assuming for some reason that this is a lie (why?) then there's no way to independently verify it wasn't shrapnel and likely never will be.
As to definitely. That will have to wait some days for any conclusive official conclusion of course.
"Definitively" as in that's what's being reported, but I haven't seen anything more conclusive. I think Trump's campaign says he's ok. I'm not sure if he's made a statement.
Hell yeah put some middle name on that thang.
a true american tradition
