In reply to the discussion: Nick Fuentes, The Groypers, and Charlie Kirk - Now It Makes Sense [View all]herding cats
(19,813 posts)14. They said he'd become political and had been radicalized recently
They didn't say he'd become a leftist at any point. They just tossed the childish engravings out and basically said you make the connection. Then Trump and his band of merry minions screamed it's all on the leftist/liberals.
Let's be honest if they had anything solidly linking him to the left they'd be screaming it from the rooftops. That they're not speaks volumes and does open up a possibility of him being a Groyper. His family were definitely RWers.

'Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao' (another message on a Robinson shell casing) is definitely anti-fascist

Yep ⬆️ - law enforcement is either too old to understand the engravings or are straight out lying about their meaning

Exactly!!! I really don't know what to think, but calling someone/thing "fascist" doesn't mean anything.

I guess Kirk had a falling out with Groyper founder Fuentes and his anti semitism didn't jive with Kirk's ...

Nick Fuentes basically admitted on Twitter last night that Charlie Kirk's shooter was a Groyper.

Fuentes made those statements on his podcast last night. Here's video of him saying it.

If the shooter was linked to Fuentes, you can bet he'll be brought in for questioning.

I actually was predicting this yesterday on FB that another wing nut shot him over doctrinal differences.

Trump damn near got taken out by a sniper -- what's Kirk's security going to do?

I don't trust anything from Musk's AI tool Grok, but I thought this was interesting.

This is speculation. Don Lemon said it without any attribution. He has been known to say things
