    gunman donated $15 to the dems

    What I heard is that he donated to a Democrat-affiliated “get out the vote” group on the day Biden was inaugurated. It’s true that the donation was to “the dems,” but it sounds to me like the motivation could’ve been dissatisfaction with the voter turnout that resulted in Biden entering office. Maybe he just didn’t know that higher turnout tends to favor Democrats…

      As the other commenter mentioned, there seems to be a 69yo similarly named man in a different Pennsylvania town that made that donation.

        The donation record has 20yo Crooks’ address, not 69yo Crooks’ address, so that’s not likely. I don’t know why $15 makes him a secret democrat, when there’s so much more evidence he’s deeply conservative. It shouldn’t be an issue.
