BTW, according to DUer "proud patriot", Shuster will be on the Stephanie Miller show tomorrow morning (9/16).
Today's Stephanie Miller Show should post later at: https://www.politicalvoicesnetwork.com/t/shows

(3,223 posts)But I'm listening to David Shuster, the reporter who made the post on X that I quoted (and which has not been retracted, unlike a widely-publicized article from the Guardian which argued the opposite, which was retracted). I'm also going to listen to Shuster on Stephanie Miller's show as soon as it''s posted.

(18,859 posts)There are reports that Robinson spoke with family members in the hours before the shooting how he hated CK because he was full of hate and spread that hate.
#2. the roommate who he may or may not be romantically involved with had a family member say he was vehemently anti-conservative.
This is from Tyler Robinson's MOTHER
Robinsons mother also told investigators that over the last year or so, her son had become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro gay and trans-rights oriented, Gray said.
Robinsons mother also told police that he began to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning genders, the prosecutor said.

(3,223 posts)...the case--including law enforcement--who say otherwise. So who knows for sure?
The reality might be quite complicated, involving serious mental illness. A lot of Nick Fuentes followers do not strike me as particularly rational, stable individuals (to say the least). I'm hoping to hear to what Shuster had to say this morning on Stephanie Miller's show as soon as it is posted to her site.

(132 posts)I think people are finding it hard to believe that someone on the left would do something like this, but that appears to be what happened.
Not that I'm not enjoying the bonkers groyper conspiracy theories.

(13,756 posts)Listening to the prosecutor spew details about Robinson's romantic relationship with his "biological male" roommate reminds of Utah Mormon's rabid support of Prop 8 in California, which ultimately failed. I cringe to think about the potential backlash against the LGBTQ community.

(21,352 posts)Doing a search for the shooter's note to his roommate it's clear the right wants to make this all about the shooter's hatred of Kirk.
NBC News:
And in a text chat with his roommate, Robinson allegedly said he had to kill Kirk when the opportunity presented itself.
"I had enough of his hatred. Some hate cant be negotiated out," Robinson told his roommate, according to Gray. "If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence."
Which adds up to hatred and intolerance of hatred.

(13,756 posts)as Patel and the DOJ desperately try to pretzel together a massive conspiracy by the Left leading to the shooting. I think Patel should stick to writing children's fantasy books.

Interesting about no political questions when trump lies about who is to blame.
