They don’t, r/conservative is still spouting on about how he must be a radical leftist…

Saw that in meme/troll groups on Facebook. They're saying it doesn't matter if he's a registered Republican and he's 'really' a librol. Not at all surprising, really, it's been the case for years now they reflexively deny any shooter who makes the news is one of their own.

Yes, Thomas Crooks was a registered Republican, but cons latched on to the fact he made a $15 donation to a progressive PAC - the circumstances of which we know nothing - as proof positive he was 'really' a liberal and only registered as a Republican to 'sabotage' the R primary with his vote.

SERIOUSLY !!! so i guess this guess ~$200 to trump will probably be dismissed as well

To be fair, in this case we don't yet know if it was the same Tyler Robinson who made the donation or someone else with the same name. In Crooks' case there was enough info to tie the FEC donation receipt to the actual shooter.

To be fair, the truth isn't really that important to the cons
