Charlie Kirk Suspect’s Grandma Says Family Is All MAGA

https://www.thedailybeast.com/charlie-kirk-suspects-grandma-says-family-is-all-maga/

Tyler Robinson, 22, the man arrested in connection with the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, comes from a MAGA family, his grandmother has revealed.

Although MAGA figureheads have been quick to point fingers at the left for Kirk’s death, Tyler’s grandmother, Debbie Robinson, 69, insisted that they come from a family of Trump supporters.

She spoke with Daily Mail on Friday after news of Robinson’s arrest broke. “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump,” Debbie told the outlet. “Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.”

According to the outlet, Robinson’s father, Matt, 48, was the one to turn Tyler into the authorities after he confessed to the grisly crime. Debbie has not been able to get in touch with her son since news of her grandson’s arrest went public.

1. Not surprised to read this. But it will fall on deaf ears in trump world.

[newdeal2]

2. Well he is still alive

Let him explain what the reason was. Shouldn’t be a mystery.

4. Expect the truth do ya?

If they offer him an exemption from the death penalty they promised when they thought it was a Democrat, he may be willing to say whatever they want him to say.

Or maybe I'm just too pessimistic lol.

6. That thought crossed my mind

But Trump said death penalty already so he kinda lost any leverage there.

3. Not surprised that I'm unsurprised

My guess had been a fella who couldn't get dates and took it out on anyone that would make him look taller. Not that my speculation changed the taste of mustard or (God forbid) "make us (?) look bad..."

5. Oh no! What will Trump's gatekeepers say?

I am sure they will be here to enlighten us very soon.

12. He is a 22 year old man, not a minor child.

17. lol...I probably refer to people under 32 as "this kid" all the time!

I just never broke the habit from the time that I was….a kid.

[niyad]

21. I understand. Pretty sure at least 2/3 of the world is younger than I am.

However, we are all very well aware of how privileged white males are presented in these contexts, and I do not like to see us contributing to that framing.

8. Perhaps, Tyler the Maga, thought we was making America great again by popping a cap in Kirk's noggin'!

9. Thanks for this, because I've been wondering why Kirk was targeted

when there are much bigger fish to fry. He was well known by MAGA nuts but relatively unfamiliar to Democrats.

18. I've heard his name but I didn't know he was

an evil little fuck until three days ago.

[Kingofalldems]

10. Kick this one.

[llmart]

11. Is Grandma also a MAGA?

She didn't say if she was or not.

[niyad]

13. I hope grandma is smart enough to have some protection.

14. Weaponized Outrage, Interrupted by Reality

Almost feels like this was the gunman’s plan: commit a horrific act, then let the right point fingers at “the left” for it. Chaos and outrage, weaponized before the facts even landed. If his own father hadn’t come forward, MAGA would still be spinning it as a leftist crime. The tragic reality? The violence didn’t spring from some liberal fantasy, t came from inside their own MAGA ranks.

15. The GOP needs to take care of their Right-on-Right crime problem. nt

16. Wasn't he orginally fingered by a/his pastor? But orangeaid changed it to father. I saw the pastor bit first.

Actually the day before EvilMan and Fox.

19. So is my family

But not me.
