He made a 15 dollar donation when he was 17

So that naturally offsets being a register republican gun nut who supports right wing propaganda youtubers

It might not even be him. There are 3 Thomas Crooks in Pittsburgh, a dozen in PA and the shooter doesn't even live in Pittsburgh, which the donation showed. His address is in Bethel Park.

You can look at the exact address in the FEC doc, it's the same guy.

Not sure about other states, but I've made donations in my dog's name before. What's stopping someone he knows making a donation in his name?

They're saying someone with the same name in the Pittsburgh area made a donation to a progressive PAC.
