(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) FBI Director Kash Patel revealed new details about Thomas Matthew Crooks’s mindset during his failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., last year. In an interview with investigative journalist Catherine Herridge on “Straight to the Point” from the Los Angeles Times Media Group, Patel described how Crooks acted from a deep hostility toward the U.S. government and the two-party system.
Herridge asked Patel why Crooks, at just 20 years old, was fixated on taking out Donald Trump as he moved toward the GOP nomination last year. At the time, the FBI claimed ideology played no role. But that was not the case.
“He [Crooks], as has been publicized, had a basically hateful relationship with the United States government, talked disparagingly about both political parties, to include President Trump, and talked about the need to take matters into his own hands,” Patel said of the shooter’s motive. “And, unfortunately, that’s what he did.”
