Comment on Charlie Kirk suspect is a gun-loving Trump supporter

I’m actually convinced now that there is a media campaign painting him as far right so he doesn’t turn into an other luigi.
This is some really shallow “evidence” while everyone that knew him seems to say he was to the left.
I will wait to hear more but this whole gopher thing seems like a ploy.

I agree this evidence is shallow, but what people are saying he’s left? The one person who said that retracted it as far as I’ve heard.
I don’t think we have any clue. I think right now everyone is scrambling to make it look like he’s not on their team.

His family and his friends from what I’ve read. Although everything should be taken with a grain of salt at this point.

His family said he was vocal about not liking Kirk. Your head filled in the part as to why. I find it suspicious they didn’t expand on that more. I guess it’s hard to admit “we raised a white supremacist”

I haven’t seen anything definitive, and the available evidence could easily go either way. My guess is he’s on the right, and I have reasons for that, but I’m keeping an open mind as the evidence comes out.

Yeah, it’s all scrambling and bullshit right now. I’ve seen his grandmother say she has no idea. The New York Post (trash rag) claims his partner is transgender but then claims they’re not sure if they’re romantic partners or roommates, then states they have no idea if they’re transitioning. His grandmother is on record as saying she has no idea what her grandson’s politics are. The governor says he’s a leftist and it’s very clear but has offered no reasoning. A former school friend said Democrat but then retracted the statement within a few hours (which could mean anything from “It’s true but I don’t want to get involved”, to “I didn’t understand what I was being asked”, to “I lied and don’t want my statement scrutinized so that I won’t be a national pariah when it comes out”).
