I can’t embed because I’m old. If someone can please do. The kid who tried to assassinate Trump was featured in an ad for BlackRock. Also confirmed he donated to ActBlue.



But muh he’s Republican.

being in a commercial filmed at your HS is hardly indicative of the politcal beliefs

Surprisingly, CNN pointed out that this coward being registered as a Republican means that he could have registered just to vote AGAINST Trump in the primary.

And an attempted assassination isn’t as well, correct?

I bet the CIA didn’t catch that Act-Blue donation, someone going to be fired, that messed up the whole narrative

New York Times got that out in their opening paragraph.

Him being registered Republican just further adds to my suspicions

That dude was in that commercial for literally 2 seconds... and that's giving him an added 0.5 seconds.

Still not touching that ActBlue donation I see. I’m sure he was just strolling through the quad when out of nowhere BlackRock came up to him and said, hey kid, wanna get in on this?

Weaponized nescience.

Don’t think to hard about it.

PA has a closed primary. Lots of Dems switch parties during primary season in years where their incumbent is running for reelection.

Florida does the same thing.

I believe that would qualify. I didnt mention anything about that. I would bet 1000% that school coach is a die hard republican and he was the feature of the commercial

That isnt what the OP was about.....

No one is arguing he is a fricked up kid and probably leaned left. I honestly don't believe he was politically motivated at all. I personally believe he was a loner, POS kid that wanted to watch the world burn and his best chance was to kill Trump on his way out

Yes you can because you linked to #twitter — you just don’t know you can.

He was part of a conspiracy. Otherwise his dumbass would have never got onto the roof with a gun, and wouldn't have got a shot off.

He had help.

Could be something, but it was $15 and about 3+ years ago. So he was either 16 or 17 at the time. Was the kid in school either Vo Tech JC or 4 year? Was he employed? A 20 year old doing this is not necessarily beyond the pall, Gavrilo Princip was about the same age when he assassinated Franz Ferdinand but he had been part of a student group at the time that was pretty radical

It wasn't his high school; he graduated in 2022. If it was filmed in 2023, he chose to be in it. There was no extra credit for this assignment.
