Charlie Kirk Suspects Grandma Says Family Is All MAGA
https://www.thedailybeast.com/charlie-kirk-suspects-grandma-says-family-is-all-maga/
Tyler Robinson, 22, the man arrested in connection with the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, comes from a MAGA family, his grandmother has revealed.
Although MAGA figureheads have been quick to point fingers at the left for Kirks death, Tylers grandmother, Debbie Robinson, 69, insisted that they come from a family of Trump supporters.
She spoke with Daily Mail on Friday after news of Robinsons arrest broke. My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump, Debbie told the outlet. Most of my family members are Republican. I dont know any single one whos a Democrat.
According to the outlet, Robinsons father, Matt, 48, was the one to turn Tyler into the authorities after he confessed to the grisly crime. Debbie has not been able to get in touch with her son since news of her grandsons arrest went public.

(1,258 posts)If they offer him an exemption from the death penalty they promised when they thought it was a Democrat, he may be willing to say whatever they want him to say.
Or maybe I'm just too pessimistic lol.

(71 posts)Almost feels like this was the gunmans plan: commit a horrific act, then let the right point fingers at the left for it. Chaos and outrage, weaponized before the facts even landed. If his own father hadnt come forward, MAGA would still be spinning it as a leftist crime. The tragic reality? The violence didnt spring from some liberal fantasy, t came from inside their own MAGA ranks.
