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.

    Name, job, and zip code. Find me another guy living in Bethel Park with the same name who was unemployed in 2021.

      I think you’re misreading me.

      I’m saying the Republican party registration has those things, but the donation doesn’t, so could be from someone with the same first and last name from anywhere.

      So the Republican party registration is this more corroborated by having the extra information. Whereas the donation isn’t, due to not having that extra information with it.

        The FEC filing shows name and zip code, as well as the job. It matches the voter registration. If you think there are 2 Thomas Crooks in the same 5 sq mi radius that were both unemployed at the same time, that’s pretty wild
