In a shocking turn of events, a recently discovered video has emerged showcasing the relentless teasing endured by Thomas Matthew Crooks, the individual responsible for the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. The undated footage reveals a troubling glimpse into Crooks' past experiences with bullying during his time in high school.
