@GaryMarcus I've read that the home address given by the ActBlue donor is the same as that of the shooter. One of the comments here says that too. So who knows which is true? As far as I can tell, none of the MSM sources have retracted it.

The shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks, a registered Republican, did NOT donate to Actblue or any other Democratic causes.

That's a straight up lie.

Not only was he too young at the time to donate, but it was made by a Thomas Matthew Crooks who lives in Pittsburgh.

@GaryMarcus I haven't seen any retractions on this. The NYT article still says the guy was a registered Republican and made a small ActBlue donation, for what that's worth.
