Trump Would-Be Assassin Featured, Once, in a BlackRock Ad! By Charles Taylor (Florida)

You can see the videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6PWmi4y5pw, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoJ7HHkvtBE,which has the 20-year old Crooks who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump in a Blackrock ad. It is no Right-wing conspiracy; here is CBS: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/thomas-matthew-crooks-blackrock-ad-pulled/:

"Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman who opened fire at a Saturday rally for former President Donald Trump, once appeared in an advertisement for investment firm BlackRock, the company said Monday.

The ad, which was produced in 2022, was filmed at Bethel Park High School, where Crooks was a student at the time. BlackRock filmed the spot, part of a series aimed at teachers managing their retirement assets, in a classroom led by a real teacher and which featured real students. Crooks was one of those students, BlackRock told CBS MoneyWatch.

He was not paid, nor was he hired by the company as an actor.

"In 2022, we ran an ad featuring a teacher from Bethel Park High School, in which several unpaid students briefly appeared in the background, including Thomas Matthew Crooks," BlackRock said in a statement to CBS MoneyWatch. "We will make all video footage available to the appropriate authorities, and we have removed the video from circulation out of respect for the victims."

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, also condemned the violence that took place at the Trump rally over the weekend."

So, what do we make of this? Well, to use a line from the movie Nefarious, "Probably just a coincidence." https://www.tiktok.com/@stephanie.elliart82/video/7254192049011002670

Nothing to see here; the conspiratorial social media types must be wrong to jump to conclusions.
