So how many of the 24 offenders are affiliated with the Democratic Party or any other mainstream reformist, progressive or leftist organisation? The answer is none. The only perpetrator arguably from the Left is Black nationalist Quintez Brown.

Trump not alone in falsely blaming others for his own evil.

Immediately after Kirk’s killing, Elon Musk tweeted, ‘The Left is the party of murder’.

    Why don’t we think Tyler Robinson aligns with “the left?” I know there was a lot of misinformation on him, but the situation is becoming more clear. We’ll learn more in the coming weeks.

    Lastly, right wing influencer Charlie Kirk was shot last Wednesday by Tyler Robinson, a white student from a gun-loving Republican Mormon family. Robinson has no party links, but has reportedly embraced the extremism of right wing racist Nick Fuentes.

    Does this still seem correct? His family was conservative, but he was not. Who reports he embraced Nick Fuentes? His family? His partner? Or just “some people” with no credibility?

      I got the downvotes but no answers. There was a lot of celebration that Tyler Robinson was a conservative, and the article this post is about pretty much was only written to add him to the list. So, what happens if it turns out he killed Kirk because Kirk was too right wing, not because he was part of a rival right wing faction?

      Are we going to own up to the misinformation propagated through the Fediverse?

      If you were unaffiliated & didn’t vote in '22 or '24 and had the legal ability to do so, then no, I don’t think you can be considered a progressive or liberal.

      This is almost **exactly **what had been predicted for years was going to happen when a MAGAt is primed for violence & then realizes they’ve been lied to the entire time.
