VIDEO: "Funny... he doesn't look like a Muslim..."

The answer to yesterday's hypothetical seems to be (d). I trust those who accuse Walt of always looking for the Mohammedan connection will notice that, this time, we refrained from jumping to the usual conclusion.

The person who attempted to assassinate President Trump at yesterday's rally in Butler County PA has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, age 20, from a nearby town.

Little is known about the late Mr Crooks, who was shot dead by a Secret Service sniper within seconds of having fires a hail of bullets towards the once and future POTUS.

The New York Times reports that an online recording of his graduation ceremony shows him walking the stage to minimal applause and briefly posing with a school official. A search by Fox News Digital revealed that he would have turned 21 years old this September. He had no reported criminal or traffic citations and no reported bankruptcies, liens or foreclosures. 

Mr Crooks was a registered Republican, according to voting records, but he only participated in the 2022 state elections, having been too young previously. Records show he made a $15 donation to Progressive Turnout Project, a Chicago-based political action committee that supports Democrat candidates for public office and claims to advocate for "key Democratic constituencies: young people, minorities and low-income people."

What we don't know, and will likely never know, is why Mr Crooks did it. Was it  his own bunny-brained idea, or did someone put him up to it? Where did he get the assault rifle? Was he stoned or crazy or both? Walt guesses the Democratic government and their lickspittle media will tell us to conclude that he was just a "deranged lone wolf". QED.
