From the post:

>Tucker Carlson has revealed that the young man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year had a long record of espousing political violence. Comments posted by shooter Thomas Crooks to YouTube from 2019 to 2020 show a detailed digital trail of violent threats that included calls for assassination and political violence, despite the FBI's repeated claims otherwise, according to a mini-documentary Carlson released Friday morning.
The posts were made by Crooks - who was 20 when he was shot dead - when he was between 15 and 17 years old, Carlson's expose claims.
The deep-dive investigation from the former Fox News stemmed from a tip he said he received from an anonymous source who had gained access to Crooks' wiped social media accounts.

Tucker's video about it.

Crook's YouTube comments were calling for violence. I was surprised that he was censored or banned from the platform.

He swung dramatically from being a Trump to supporter to being adamantly anti-Trump. It seemed like COVID was the factor. No in-depth details.

I didn't understand how he went suddenly from Trump supporter (threatening and insulting the left) to anti-Trump (threatening and insulting those that support Trump) within the short time of covid lockdown.

We know covid broke a lot of people's brains, but I also found the reporting here lacking. No details. Perhaps they couldn't find anything.

The focus was on his online footprint, but it would have been interesting if they could have talked to some people who knew him. Even if they didn't want to go on camera, get some insights from classmates or any family willing to talk.
