The FBI identified the shooter, who is dead, as Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. A motive was not clear.
…
Bethel Park is a predominantly white, relatively well-to-do city in the southern reaches of greater Pittsburgh. The site of the rally, Butler, is about an hour’s drive north of Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania voter records listed a Thomas Matthew Crooks with the same address and birth date as a registered Republican, though it was not clear from the records when that was put in place.
Already came out that he donated to a liberal group once. They will latch onto that
Sure, but even if that didn’t come out, he’d be a secret librul.
Yeah, it doesn’t matter if he donated or not. He’s a deep state operative or RINO, or a secret librul, or you name it.
Yeah, single donation of $15 on January 20th.
You don’t think he was one of the Republicans that were outraged after January 6th?
Everything we know about him so far, screams “libertarian”.
Dad and sister are registered libertarians. Mom is a registered dem. Take from that what you will. I’m sure we’ll learn more about him in the coming days and weeks.
You cant register to vote as a libertarian
It’s a party in the USA? You can register to any party lol
Shit, you can put in your own “other” and handwrite in whatever BS you want in PA. I’ve read through voter rolls and people write in shit like “Birthday Party”
Even that is speculative, from many different commenters. There’s belief that that donation was from someone else with the same name. Take it as you will, but we need to speak less as ‘fact’ right now when the water is this muddy.
I read the FEC page. Same name, same zip code. Highly unlikely it’s someone else. Kid was 17 at the time and his job was “Not Employed”

The donation is almost certainly him
