After he shot Ronald Reagan in attempt to impress her.

John tells TMZ he has a theory that his failed Reagan assassination attempt in 1981 traumatized Jodie to the point where she turned away from men and became a lesbian. He believes Jodie's trauma also stemmed from him bringing her into his assassination attempt with his public fascination of her.
He says Jodie was dating men in the early 1980s and only became a lesbian in the years after he tried to shoot Reagan dead. Jodie first came out publicly as gay during the 2013 Golden Globes Awards. John says this is the first time he's ever revealed this theory publicly as he promotes his new memoir, "John Hinckley Jr.: Who I Really Am."
John says he was obsessed with Jodie ever since 1976, when he saw her in the film "Taxi Driver" … and when she was attending Yale University, he went to the college registrar's office and got her dorm number and phone number, and would call her and slip poems under her door.
He says he never asked Jodie out on a date because she didn't seem interested … and in his depression, delusion and obsession, he thought he "could impress Jodie by killing the president." -
