He donated to some progressive causes. Like most of his type, his political leanings were probably only comprehensive to him and don't fit into the current binary most people feel they belong to.

There's evidence that he ONCE donated $15 to a liberal group. Big Whoop. He registered to vote as a Republican.

And that ONCE was when he was still seventeen. He registered as a Republican about a week after his eighteenth birthday.

He had a disordered mind and tried to kill a famous person. It has nothing to do with his chaotic mind's political point of view. Enjoy scoring points while trying to fit this insel loser into whatever narrative sounds good for your side.

He was 17 and a cute girl probably asked him for donation. He was right-leaning to those who knew him and belonged to a gun club. Trump himself was once Democrat.

Yeah, probably something like that accounts for the ONE donation..

I heard it was a different Thomas Crooks who donated to the progressive cause. But maybe that's not true. It's still early days so it's hard to say what is.

One. One progressive cause (from the reporting I've seen, anyway). $25 to a voter mobilization effort.

And he unsubscribed to it and registered as a Republican. A lost soul.

Unfortunately his background will be fuel for conspiracy theorists of all stripes.
