Thomas Crooks is the 20-year-old man who tried to assassinate Trump over the weekend.
His former classmate says Crooks was a known Trump hater and was a “know it all.”
The classmate Vincent Taormina recalled his political disagreement with Crooks after he told him he was a Trump supporter. “He did not like any [politician]… I brought up the fact that I’m Hispanic, and I’m for Trump.”
“He said: ‘Well, you’re Hispanic, so shouldn’t you hate Trump?'” “He insinuated that I was stupid.”
In the interview posted by Fox News Digital, Taormina recalls believing Crooks was accused of threatening a school shooting.
