Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old who opened fire on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally Saturday in Pennsylvania, was pictured twice wearing a t-shirt that said “Demolition Ranch” on it. A law enforcement official told CNN that one of the times was when Crooks was at an ammo store and the other was during the assassination attempt. Demolition Ranch is a popular YouTube channel for gun enthusiasts with more than 11 million subscribers. Its founder, Texas-based Matt Carriker, distanced the brand from the shooter in an almost six-minute-long video posted Monday on the channel. “We were shocked and confused to find this out: The shooter who tried to assassinate Trump was wearing merch from my channel, wearing a Demolition Ranch t-shirt. And that sucked to see that. Yeah, that was rough,” he said. The video racked up more than 520,000 views within two hours of publishing. Demolition Ranch usually posts a variety of videos relating to guns with titles such as “Eating A Meal Cooked ONLY With A GUN!!!” and “How Lethal is The TINIEST Gun I Own???” “No matter what side you’re on politically, none of us want violence. This channel was never meant to incite violence or hate,” Carriker said in the video.
