The would-be assassin who got killed after taking a shot at Donald Trump is being remembered as an American hero … at least in the mind of one man outside the RNC.
Ya gotta see this wild video from Milwaukee … where a man with a dirt bike showed up on the outskirts of the Republican National Convention with a big sign in support of Thomas Matthew Crooks — which had a “RIP” to boot.
The guy says he’s dead serious about TMC deserving hero status. He struggles to explain what Crooks did that was so heroic before finally landing on this … “He stood up to a dictatorship.”

Crooks’ biggest fan here says Thomas was wrong to take a gun to a peaceful political rally and take a shot at a candidate for office … and he bizarrely claims Crooks didn’t kill anyone, even though the shooting left one man in the crowd dead.

Frankly, the guy’s argument doesn’t make a whole lot of sense and is all over the place … and this feels like he’s trying to get a rise out of Trump supporters and the MAGA crowd.
He was confronted by at least one person — the dude who recorded this video — but ya gotta imagine he’s getting an earful from folks in the vicinity … y’know, since the RNC is going on within a stone’s throw of where this went down.

Regardless of your politics — this is a pretty wild take — and yet, it may not be far off on how some legitimately feel about TMC/DT. More folks than not agree though … he ain’t no legend.
