A former classmate of Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, has come forward with claims that Crooks openly mocked him for supporting the former president.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Crooks, born on September 20, 2003, is a registered Republican according to the Voter Status Record on the Department of State website.
Though he is registered as a Republican, it does not mean he was.
In an exclusive video interview with Fox News Digital, Vincent Taormina, an ex-classmate of Crooks’, shared his experiences with him.
Taormina described Crooks as a quiet individual unless it came to subjects he was passionate about – politics being one of them. He revealed that Crooks had a strong dislike for politicians, particularly those who ran for office in 2016.
“He just did not like politicians, especially with the choices that we’ve had. It was Bernie Sanders, Hillary, and all of them. He showed that he just liked none of them,” Taormina said.
“I brought up the fact that I’m Hispanic and I’m for Trump. He said, ‘Well, you’re Hispanic, so shouldn’t you hate Trump?’ I was like, ‘No, he’s great. I mean, he’s a great president.’ He called me stupid or insinuated that,” Taormina said.
Taormina described Crooks as a “know-it-all.” who would dominate conversations about politics. Crooks’ demeanor while discussing politics often came across as arrogant and smug.
