BlackRock Pulls Shocking 2022 Ad Featuring Trump’s Would-Be Assassin

BlackRock Inc, the behemoth trillion-dollar asset management corporation, has pulled an ad it ran in 2022 featuring the 20-year-old man who attempted to kill former President Donald Trump on Saturday.

Online sleuths unearthed a video featuring Thomas Crooks, who was shot and killed by Secret Service agents after wielding an AR-15 rifle and shooting at Trump from a rooftop over 400 feet away. The two-year-old ad features Crooks alongside some of his former high school peers as they made unpaid appearances in a video where BlackRock touted its investments in financial education for the nation’s public school students.

In the 30-second spot, a teacher at Bethel High School spoke about teaching students in his AP Economics course, which included Crooks. The future shooter made a quick cameo as he turned around in his seat to stare at the front of the room.

In a statement obtained by the New York Post, BlackRock said it would be pulling its ad from the company’s website but that it would remain available to the Secret Service and other law enforcement organizations as they continue to search for a motive behind the attempted assassination of President Trump. “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,” the company said in a statement to Reuters Sunday, adding that the ad has been pulled.

Investigators learned that Crooks, who was regarded as a loner by some of his former classmates who have come forward, graduated that same year with distinguished marks and was among the school’s annual recipients of the National Math & Science Initiative Star Awards.

The disclosure comes at a terrible time for the world’s largest asset management company. Wall Street earnings are set to be reported on Monday, and in a statement following the shooting, BlackRock attempted to distance itself from the young man who helped promote their educational investment work.

“The assassination attempt on former President Trump is abhorrent,” the company said. “We’re thankful former President Trump wasn’t seriously injured, and thinking about all the innocent bystanders and victims of this awful act, especially the person who was killed.”

Other online observers were quick to rebuke BlackRock, which oversees $9.1 trillion in assets, for investing in major gun corporations that they claimed have contributed to the proliferation of mass shootings across America for decades. BlackRock did not respond when the Post sought an additional comment.
