Attempt on Trump's life. Commercial featuring Crooks withdrawn
New information is emerging about the assassin. As reported by the portal freepressjournal.in, Crooks appeared in a commercial for one of the American asset management companies - Blackrock. The ad, shot at a school, was very quickly removed from the library. However, nothing disappears from the internet. The commercial appeared on platform X.
There are also conflicting reports online about Crooks' political views. Some claim he was a staunch supporter of the Republican Party, meaning he supported Donald Trump and his policies. Others suggest he donated to the Democratic Party.
The portal freepressjournal.in reports that the mentioned company Blackrock is not on the best terms with the Republicans. Its founder, Larry Fink, supports Democratic circles. Unfortunately, in recent years, American society has become deeply divided along political lines. This was manifested, among other things, by the storming of the Capitol by Donald Trump's supporters. The assassination attempt is another example of this.
