En av de sämsta "pusselbitarna" hittills som säger mer om Vincent Taorminas behov av att synas i riksmedia än något om TMC. Lågvattenmärke och Fox News måste vara riktigt desperata som lägger ut uppgifter om en konversation mellan två
14-åringar som skedde för
8 år sedan i ett klassrum.
Märkligt att Vincent Taormina har så starkt minne av just denna konversation för 8 år sedan. Både Vincent Taormina, TMC och alla andra barn som var 14-åringar vid den här tiden kan förändrat sin syn på Trump en, två, tre eller hundra gånger efter allt som Trump hittat på sedan 2016.

Det här sa en tidigiare klasskamrat vid namn Vincent Taormina om Crooks till Fox News, om man nu ska tro på vad han säger:
Citat:
A former classmate of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks says the 20-year-old gunman once mocked him over his support of former President Donald Trump and had a general disdain for mainstream politicians across the political aisle.
"I brought up the fact that I'm Hispanic and, you know, I'm for Trump. And he said, 'Well, you're Hispanic, so shouldn't you hate Trump?'" Vincent Taormina told Fox News Digital Tuesday. "No. He's great. He was a great president. He called me stupid – or insinuated that I was stupid."
It happened during a discussion in an English class during the 2016 campaign, he said. Trump, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders were all still in the race.
"He just did not like politicians, especially with the choices that we had," Taormina said. "He did not like our politicians.
Taormina that Crooks was usually quiet, except on certain topics that he seemed passionate about, including math and politics. And on those issues, he could be "smug [and] arrogant," he added.
He also pushed back on reporting that Crooks was a complete loner. He had a friend group, he said, although it was both small and concerning.
"They were definitely the type, and they did, make threats to shoot up our school," he said.
Although he and other classmates suspected Crooks himself was behind a threat, he said he had no firm proof. But after the threat came in, the future would-be assassin didn't return to school for a few days."
After the rumors began swirling, Crooks' demeanor changed, Taormina said. He got quieter and stopped confronting people about politics.
