Starting to look like the Kirk shooting was evidence of a fracture in the RW universe...

Apparently the shooter was a Fuentes Groyper who thought that Kirk was being too "nice" to lefties and too "moderate."

"The Groypers’ focus on Turning Point USA stems primarily from their dislike of founder Charlie Kirk, who they consider insufficiently pro-white. Among their grievances: Kirk has spoken out against white supremacy and dismissed Ashley St. Clair, a TPUSA associate who was photographed at a dinner event attended by Fuentes.

Kirk is pro-Israel, and Groypers oppose Israel and are generally antisemitic. Groypers are also angry that Kirk has invited black conservatives and gay conservatives to TPUSA events as speakers. They believe Kirk is a hypocrite who doesn’t truly want to advance an “America First,” agenda which, for the Groypers, means “whites first.” And finally, they believe Kirk does not support free speech."

This kid grew up radicalized by his republican, "christian", gun and weapons nut parents, and then took it one step further with the Groypers.
