Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspectin Saturday’s shooting, was registered as a Republican voter, according to Pennsylvania records.

Already the republicans are dismissing his voter registration as meaningless. Here comes the “mental illness” angle.

Edit: apparently it’s not uncommon to register with the party you oppose in PA. This is going to be a fun ride.

    You really think that any of the cultists are going to care about what actually happened?

    Their story will be that he’s a transwoman high on legal weed who listened to woke podcasts about Gaza.

      A brave and true republican boy, who got corrupted away from his family by the antifa deep state complex, he would have been such a great person, if only his parents had homeschooled him without interference from the communist atheists, and were allowed to hit him more as a child 😢

        I should have saved it but I didn’t. Someone else posted an actual MAGoo fiction about how a good kid goes to college and instantly gets a hot Black girlfriend who corrupts him with sex and Antifa ideology…

        Then he got the covid vaxx and the 5g nano microchips got implanted in his brain and made him a deep state sleeper agent.

      No, but it might be enough to convince independents not to feel sympathy for him.

        Up until 2016 I could pretend to myself that, when the chips were down, most Americans could tell chicken salad from chicken shit.

          Too many people assumed Clinton would win.

          Ergo, she didn’t. Even so, never should have been close in the states that carried it over the line.

            I sadly knew people who attended “Clinton Won!” parties, these same people didn’t vote. Complacency is a killer.

        Anyone independent at this point is a moron.

        Facts won’t matter. Facebook posts about deep state false flag operations will.

      The cultists are gonna cultist no matter what. Truth still matters even in a political and media landscape that looks to be ‘post-truth’. Don’t get me wrong, I wish it mattered a whole lot more still.

      When it was discovered Rittenhouse beat up a little girl, the story the Right made up was that the “Girl was a transgender who was spying on his sister in the bathroom!” when there’s no evidence for that claim.
