    Need a source on that or I’ll just assume you’re lying through your teeth. As literally every major news outlet is reporting he made that donation

      I saw some posts about it yesterday on Lemmy, but apparently upon further digging there is a 69 year old Thomas Crooks of Pittsburgh, but he didn’t make the donation. The donation was marked as coming from Pittsburgh which is close to Bethel Park. I’ve edited my post.

        Your edit correct (most of this is directed at the user you are replying to) the kid from this weekend was 20 and the donation was made 3 years ago. It would have been illegal for him to make a campaign contribution at the age of 17, there is also a PA gov website that you can look up public campaign donations on (Its where this info came from). Im not able to locate the exact page, but screenshots have been circulating for a bit. In addition, there are updates that the FBI has gotten into his phone and the investigations interviews with his friends and family are starting to hit the news cycle.

        Just be open minded that this is a developing story and that the general narrative will change.
