Most 22 year old men are apolitical, believe both parties are the same and don't vote [View all]

This assumption that Tyler Robinson leaned left or was radicalized by the left based solely on him being gay is a very far reach.

We don't know Tyler's political leanings. And we don't know very much about his motive other than he believed that Charlie Kirk spread hate and was evil.

That's all we really know.
