Would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks relentlessly bullied by high school classmates in chilling new video

A newly emerged video shows the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump on Saturday being relentlessly teased by his peers when he was in high school.

The undated footage shows Thomas Matthew Crooks sitting at his desk as a classmate repeatedly yanks at the leg of his pants.

As the prankster pulls at his pants leg, Crooks continually tells them to “stop,” eventually saying, “Stop, you’re pulling my leg,” while the person behind the camera laughs.

Crooks — who graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022 — was a loner who was “relentlessly” bullied, according to former classmates.

One classmate of the attempted assassin previously told The Post that Crooks “didn’t seem like really weird or anything.”

“I would have pegged him as a Republican,” they said, adding, “He was more of a loner. He probably had a friend group, but not many friends.”
