In a shocking interview with Fox News Digital, a former classmate of deceased Trump rally shooter Thomas Crooks described the failed assassin as holding anti-Donald Trump political views.

The ex-schoolmate, Vincent Taormina, explained Crooks was passionate about politics and didn’t like any of the presidential options in the 2016 race.

Taormina said, “So, I brought up the fact that I’m Hispanic and I’m for Trump and he [Crooks] said, ‘Well, you’re Hispanic so shouldn’t you hate Trump?’ And, I was like, ‘No, he’s a great president.’ And, he called me stupid or insinuated I was stupid.”

The shooter’s former classmate went on to describe Crooks as a “know-it-all” when it came to politics, explaining, “He would just say it in a tone that was like I’m better than you in a type of way.”

Later, Taormina talked about Crooks’ friend group and claimed one of them, potentially the Trump shooter himself, had threatened to shoot up the school.

Regarding reports that the shooter was hazed at school, the classmate said it may have been overexaggerated as he didn’t see any examples that Crooks was “severely bullied.”

Taormina also questioned why Crooks’ parents and others in his circle didn’t see any signs of mental issues leading up to the shooting, saying, “He was not a loner. And, both of his parents being counselors, how do you not see that warning sign?”

Perhaps adding some credibility to Taormina’s account is the fact that the high school Crooks attended, “Bethel Park High School,” was shut down over threats in both 2016 and 2017.

The allegation that Crooks was an anti-Trumper is quite revealing as many Americans have been puzzled at the shooter being a registered Republican.
