There seems to be a lot of misinformation, insinuations and jumping to conclusions

about the suspect who killed Kirk coming from the right wingers.

They can't even agree on the number of roommates Tyler Robinson might have shared a home with. One of those roommates may be transitioning, but may not be according to others. Even if one of the roommates is transitioning it's quite an assumption to conclude that the person must be someone's lover. That's just where their minds go.

I suggest taking everything you are hearing with a huge grain of salt.

I’d like to say they couldn’t find their collective ass with a flashlight, but it’s orange, glowing, and has a combover.

So people have no clue what to believe or ability to determine the truth.

This way they can just keep repeating the lies about trans people and the left until it becomes accepted truth.

if that is what you are referring to.

Tyler Robinson did grow up with guns. I saw a picture of him when he was quite young, holding one.

Even though there was no evidence available that could cause someone to come to that conclusion
