Demolition Ranch’s Matt Carriker on The Would-Be Trump Assassin Wearing His Shirt: “It Sucks”
Demolition Ranch’s Matt Carriker offers up a short, heart-felt video on the fact that would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was wearing a Demo Ranch shirt when he committed his crime.
Takeaways:
“It sucks.”
Carriker stays away from politics on his channel.
Says something like this shouldn’t happen to anyone, on any political side, and offers condolences to survivors.
Says, just like wearing Nikes, anyone can buy a Demo Ranch t-shirt.
“It’s unfortunate, but it’s not what we stand for, and it will never be what we stand for. We’re going to keep keep trucking.”
“When you’re watching a a CNN article and it says three names, the shooter’s, Trump’s, and mine, that was not on my 2024 bingo card.”
It was succinct, heartfelt, effective, and hit all the necessary notes. It’s as good as I’ve seen the Difficult But Necessary Speech done this side of David Letterman.

I agree with Meatwood Flack— Matt’s one of the good guys, and no sane person would seriously think that he’d have any connection with someone who’d try to kill a man; simply because Matt sold him a shirt online. Lawrence put it best— Matt’s response was succinct, heartfelt, effective and hit all the necessary notes.
Of course, law enforcement has to look into this, because it’s their job. But it will surprise nobody when it turns out to be a red herring. My own take is that Crooks wanted to LARP as a Trump supporter to blend in with the crowd, and thought camo and a vaguely 2A t shirt would do the job. We may never know the shooter’s reasoning there.
Honestly, there are so many, many serious questions about the circumstances surrounding this outrage that I think folks somehow blaming Matt over the shooter’s t shirt choice are missing the larger, more sinister picture.

It wasn’t on your bingo card because you’re sane and CNN is evil. simple as.
