A shooting at Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania is being investigated as an attempted assassination. A shooter is dead and an attendee was killed.
20-year-old, registered Republican, Thomas Matthew Crooks is the shooter, yes, but the donation to ActBlue referred to in the headline of this post was apparently made by somebody else.
I mean, multiple former classmates have already stated he’s been a well-known conservative for much of his life, including at school in one class he was the only one.
You can’t explain this away or blame the other side for this one. This was a full-on anti-trump Republican conservative.
Looks like it wasn’t even him anyway – the ActBlue donation was registered to a Thomas Crooks, not Thomas Matthew Crooks:

Ah, ok - I assumed that you linked an outdated source but yes, it does appear that they are the same.
For the record, here’s confirmation of the donation address:

Right, which is why it’s a bit odd that OP chose to highlight the one single fact as the entire headline for this article.
