ABC News
Across social media, some of the most popular voices in the pro-Trump movement are calling for a crackdown on Democrats and for the Trump administration to take action in the aftermath of the killing.

NBC News
The most concerning messages, experts told NBC News, are proclamations from far-right activists, Republican politicians and conservative influencers about a coming civil war and the need for retribution or payback against the left for Kirks killing. The phrase civil war has spiked on social media and in Google searches.

I hate having to say or post it. Whats even harder to accept is how disunited our country is.

(566 posts)Charlie Kirk was not only killed by a conservative political opponent, but by someone who thought that Kirk wasn't extreme enough. It is the right eating their own. What do they say about that?

(1,936 posts)Real news. What is that? What the President of the United States says?
What the Governor of Utah says?
Has there been a trial?

(18,256 posts)But the groyper/Fuentes/to the right of CK thing is BS.
Brenda
(1,936 posts)So basically you are saying that the MSM is in agreement and therefore there is no other real story?
Wow, within 4 days you have determined that any right wing associations are BS.
That is pretty much the opposite of what any real detective would say or do.

But they have quotes from the killers family, they have quotes from the "rommates" family, they have the discord messages post shooting...

(2,889 posts)Not to mention, they're far right to begin with. The last thing any of these associated people want to do at this point is paint TR as "one of them". And I'm sure all they're getting from Trump's FBI is encouragement to come with ANY way they can paint the kid as a "leftist".
What are these post shooting Discord messages supposedly saying, and what's the source?
I'm not saying you're wrong or anything but everything should be taken w/a grain of salt. Literally nobody who's supplying any sort of evidence want's Tyler to appear right-wing, esp. not an extremist RWNJ, from the family to the investigators. I'm just saying.

(3,167 posts)...about the shooter's admiration for Fuentes/Groyper ideology. It made the rounds (including here), but I forgot to bookmark it. I found the OP by Shuster (from 9/12) this afternoon.

Brenda
(1,936 posts)You mean like people talking and writing words about how Stephen Miller talks in Nazi language?
How about a crackdown on Radical Republican Right Wing violence issued daily by known terrorist organizations like the Neo Nazi's, the Oath Keepers and well, the words of all those social media, radio, right wing TV shows who advocate for VIOLENCE?
