The short, blurry clip shows a man screaming"slash Republican throats,""death to fascists" and other insults.Bryan Bouchard, police information officer for the Arizona State University Police Department, told AFP that claims attempting to link the footage to Crooks are"I can confirm that the man from the 2020 video is not the same individual from the shooting in Pennsylvania," Bouchard said, without naming the person in the recording.

"To be clear, the individual who attempted to assassinate former President Trump had no association with ASU and was not the person seen on a video on the ASU campus four years ago," Crow said. "ASU concluded its investigation back in 2020, in conjunction with the FBI, and determined the subject in the video was not a credible threat -- and that person has a different name and different date of birth than the suspect in the attempted assassination of former President Trump over the weekend."https://www.youtube.com/embed/bYfAQU1kHGo
