(3,167 posts)4. Yep. There was a little-noticed post by David Shuster on X the other day...
...(9/12) about the shooter's admiration for Fuentes/Groyper ideology.
According to Utah officials + police interviews with his family, Tyler Robinson hated Charlie Kirk because Kirk wasn't conservative enough. (Robinson reportedly admired Nick Fuentes). GOPer's now scrubbing X posts about dems faster than DOJ erases Trump name in Epstein files.

(114,410 posts)7. Since the shooter seems to have gotten his politics from gamer chats
I think we can all count on some revelations yet to come that he might have been handed one or two opinions that weren't quite orthodox enough for the MAGAts.
They will then uyse them as ammunition to elevate Kirk to quasi sainthood, martyred by a rabid leftist, even if the shooter ell short of the Communist transsexual they were hoping for.
