‘The first evidence making it very apparent that Crooks was a left-wing partisan who hated President Trump’s immigration policies’

Former President Trump’s would-be assassin was a user of the popular social media site Gab.com, whose infrequent posts suggest he was a supporter of Joe Biden, says Gab CEO Andrew Torba.
“In the process of responding to an emergency disclosure request from a U.S. law enforcement agency, Gab learned that a pro-Biden/Harris account on the site was believed to have belonged to Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate President Trump. After backing up the account, we notified the public,” Torba said. “Politicians like Eric Swalwell have tried to mislead the American people by claiming Crooks was a Republican.” Torba said Gab “has published the first evidence making it very apparent that Crooks was a left-wing partisan who hated President Trump’s immigration policies – noting that the shooter fired on President Trump when he started talking about those same policies.
“This raises the possibility, for the first time, that his attempted assassination of President Trump was the latest instance of a wider pattern of left-wing domestic terrorism that has plagued our country since the summer of 2020.”
