They must be desperate: the right is still trying to push that "leftist ideology" theory

Alleged Killer of Charlie Kirk ‘Deeply Indoctrinated with Leftist Ideology,’ Utah Governor Says

Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” according to Utah Governor Spencer Cox (R).

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal this week, Cox said it’s become “very clear to us and investigators” that Tyler Robinson, the suspected Kirk shooter, was “indoctrinated with leftist ideology.”

According to the Journal’s report on Robinson, his parents are registered Republicans while he “was in the past registered as nonpartisan.”

They were too eager to weaponize and got it all wrong, again. The fuck around and find out inevitably leads to serious blowback. But please, idiots, proceed.

So they are NOT trying to convince anyone that an untruth is the truth. It isn't about truth. The truth literally does not matter to them. It is of no concern.

It is about permission. They are giving themselves permission to be violent. They are giving themselves permission to murder us.

If there's one thing I've learned after 25 years of arguing with wingnuts, facts DO NOT MATTER to them. All that matters is their own storyline, and saying they won any argument with a liberal.
