Will the MAGAs admit that Charlie Kirk's alleged killer is one of them? [1]

So, this wasn't an attack "from the Left." This kid was from a White Mormon Republican family who were steeped in gun culture. His dad was a Sheriff. He wore an unironic Trump costume for Halloween. He wasn't a Latino, he wasn't a Trans person. Some indications are that he was linked to the Groyper subculture who were deeply antisemitic and hated Charlie Kirk for his staunch support of Israel. For more context, Groypers — if this theory about Robinson is ultimately confirmed — are part of an online cult that follows and supports people such as infamous antisemite Nicholas Fuentes who famously sat down to dine with Trump at Mar-a-Lago along with Kanye West. They would be what you might call the Alt-MAGA. That means Charlie Kirk the bigot racist was killed by an even bigger bigot racist? Ironic.
Will the MAGA who came out screaming “WAR” when Kirk was killed take a step back and swallow their words now that Robinson has been apprehended?
Fuck no.
As I said in my last diary — where I predicted that this killer would probably be a MAGA — I noted that this is a major character flaw in MAGAs. They’re not physically capable of accepting any fact that doesn’t fit into their self-aggrandizing, paranoid, hyper-entitled narrative. As they did in this case, they practically leaped halfway over the Grand Canyon to the false conclusion that Kirk’s shooter was some kind of “Leftist” long before they had any facts at all.
We had Trump attack the “Left” and Senator Joni Ernst loudly claim that “The Left” uses violence to silence their enemies.
Nancy Mace was losing her mind attack Democrats for the Kirk shooting and totally ignored when a Reporter asked her about the killing of legislators in Minnesota last month.
x x YouTube Video Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) tangled with NBC reporter Ryan Nobles when he pressed the lawmaker Wednesday after she sought to blame Democrats for the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. “Democrats owned what happened today,” Mace told reporters outside the Capitol shortly after the news of the shooting broke. “Just because you speak your mind doesn’t mean you get shot.” Nobles asked Mace, “By that logic, does that mean Republicans own the shooting of the two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota? Isn’t this on both sides?” “Are you kidding me?” Mace shot back. “We don’t know Charlie Kirk’s condition right now and some raging leftist lunatic put a bullet through his neck and you want to talk about Republicans right now? No.”
Their bullshit has been generating rape and death threats.
Extremist podcaster Laura Loomer, Libs of TikTok operator Chaya Raichik and former Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio were all posting identifying information of people who commented on Kirk's slaying, Wired reported Thursday. “I will be spending my night making everyone I find online who celebrates his death Famous, so prepare to have your whole future professional aspirations ruined if you are sick enough to celebrate his death,” Loomer wrote on X shortly after Kirk’s death. “I’m going to make you wish you never opened your mouth.” [...] "A central hub of this activity is a website called Charlie’s Murderers, which was registered in the early evening on the day Kirk was shot and is revealing certain personal information, such as social media usernames and email addresses, of individuals the operators believe were celebrating the horrific murder," the report said. The people whose names and occupations were shared on the website included a transportation driver, a Canadian influencer, a mushroom salesman, a technology education teacher and a supervisor at Boeing Space, Defense and Intelligence Systems working with the Department of Defense. It also included an independent journalist Rachel Gilmore at Bubble Pop Media, who wrote on X that she was “terrified to think of how far-right fans of Kirk, aching for more violence, could very well turn this into an even more radicalizing moment. Will they now believe their fears have been proven right and feel they have a right to ‘retaliate,’ regardless of who actually was behind the initial shooting?” Gilmore told Wired she felt terrified by her inclusion on the website, and that she's received both death and rape threats since being added. "This website has me genuinely afraid for my safety,” she said. “I feel awful for anyone whose name is on it. It’s clear that the purpose of the website is to do exactly what the post that landed me on there warned Kirk’s supporters might do: retaliate.”
They’re going to gaslight the frack out of this. They’re going to keep attacking “Leftwing Lunatics” just as this MAGA Congressman Tony Gonzales did with the Minnesota School shooter from last month. Who, as it turns out, was a Racist Neo-Nazi who hated everyone else, particularly Catholics.
This is who that guy was, he wasn’t “On the Left.”
Gonzales is also mistaken when he claimed that the person who killed the Minnesota legislators was also a “Left-wing Lunatic”. He wasn’t.
The man who prosecutors have charged with assassinating Melissa Hortman, a Democratic Minnesota state representative, and her husband, Mark Hortman, once said in a sermon that his religious awakening came when he was 17 years old, working next to a man who “talked about God all of the time” at a vegetable canning factory. Over the next four decades of alleged shooter Vance Boelter’s life, while working in the food industry, local government, and private security, his religious worldview appeared to incorporate fringe theological ideas that are often associated with so-called charismatic Christianity and Christian Nationalism, a movement that’s captured the American religious right, has been seen as a key driver behind the January 6 Capitol riot, and currently enjoys an outsize influence on current Trump administration personnel and policy.
Did they admit that the guy who managed to shoot Trump in his ear — allegedly — was a Republican? Did they admit that the guy who took a gun onto Trump’s golf course was also a Republican? Fuck! No!
To this very day, they still blame Democrats for all of that.
The facts don’t matter. The truth doesn’t matter.
The fact that there is a higher crime rate in Red State cities like Memphis, St. Louis and New Orleans rather than Blue cities like L.A., D.C. or Chicago doesn’t matter to these people.
The fact that Red States suffer from higher rates of gun deaths than the “Black Ghettos” in Blue cities doesn’t matter.
The fact that Red States, where they restrict access to abortion because they claim to be “Pro Life”, have higher rates of infant mortality and higher rates of teen pregnancy.
These people will still get on their high horse and lecture everyone else about “CRIME” and “IMMORALITY” which they will blame on Black people, Immigrants, Muslims and the Left — even though most of the death and crime in this country is actually happening in their own back yard.
They won’t care. This is a sickness with them. They will not give a shit that Robinson is, essentially, one of them. They’ll still shout to the hills about how the “Democrat Party needs to be outlawed and stamped out like a bug.”
So there’s no point in being afraid. There’s no point in letting these fuckers intimidate us into silence and retreat. Now is not the time to go quietly.
They won’t acknowledge their hypocrisy, but we can’t let them escape it.
It’s going to take more than a polite little “well, actually...” correction when they make yet another false claim. We need to Shout as loudly as they do while they Lie — only with the Truth. We need to make them Eat their Bullshit Raw, with a pickle on the side.
We can’t sit back and just hope the truth will magically appear on it’s own. It won’t. We have to make it appear, as loudly as possible.
They are Pathological F—ing LIARS!!
It turns out that just before Kirk was killed, he was attacked by Laura Loomer — who was followed by Robinson on X — and deeply criticized by Nick Fuentes who thought Kirk was a “Fascist and Fake Conservative.”
This analysis confirms that the memes that Robinson wrote on the bullet casings were all Groyper slang. He’s hardcore Alt-Right.

The Left didn’t cause this — the Hard Right did.
