We need an archive link to this from this guy OR someone else verifying that this is true. I tried to find it, but couldn't. I'll give everyone a half an hour.

Edit: Thanks for everyone doing so much research. The crazy thing is, when you go to @DavidShuster, the comment doesn't show up at all and it looks the account hasn't been active for a year or so. But then RedJard linked and archived the original. LillyPip confirmed that it is his account.

I assume you mean proof as to the claims.
But just in case if you mean the tweet being made and made by that account, it is still up and I made an archived version of it.

The account claims to be

journalist [...] TYT.com Rebel HQ. Previously anchored for MSNBC + AJAM

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 80 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I'm going to leave this up and let you all decide if this is true or not. He hasn't been confirmed as this journalist, but x is a POS organization, so everyone gets to decide for themselves.

I now spent close to an hour trying to figure out Robinson's political leanings, and as of right now the internet simply does not know.

This is the closest:

A public records database shows Robinson’s family resides in Washington, Utah, where Trump garnered support from 75% of voters in the 2024 presidential election. Robinson’s parents have Republican listed as their party affiliation, said public voter registration information, and they are considered active voters (each cast ballots in the 2024 election that gave Trump a second presidency).

Public records also indicated Robinson registered as a voter in Utah in July 2021 but was considered inactive and did not declare an affiliation to any party when he registered.

And then there's a lot of talk about bullet engravings which leave me very confused. How can you engrave "If you're reading this you're gay" - 26 characters onto a single bullet? Even so, the messaging is open to interpretation. We simply do not know yet, and we might never know 100%! He's conflicted, that much seems clear.

IMHO most timely and objective article as of right now: LA Times

edit: I wrote this 24h ago. Surely the situation has changed by now. See you in a more timely thread!

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

30.06 is a large bullet and the words were allegedly written on the cases of the bullets, not the rounds themselves. Good to be skeptical but a fine point Sharpie could get 26 characters on there if you had small handwriting or did multiple lines or whatever.

Didn't Spencer Cox even say that he is shattered that the shooter was "one of us" (read: white male) and not an immigrant? Like on TV, not in a cocaine-fueled xitter rant post.

Edit: Found it

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 79 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What a pathetic excuse for an elected leader. Almost crying because the shooter was "one of them" and not their fake "enemy".

I don't understand why he's trying to spin it like people from Utah are exceptional people for not rioting and burning cars. The guy was a grifting YouTuber. It's not like the president died.

is there a real source for this or just some twitter guy?

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 91 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Some Twitter guy has multiple awards for journalism, I'm inclined to give him some benefit. But I would like someone to provide an official statement.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 76 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Citations or GTFO because we should always check for sources especially in this day and age, awards or not.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 54 points 3 weeks ago

You're not wrong. Just highlighting he at least has some credibility beyond the average xitter poster.

It's just speculation. No real motive has been determined. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2025-09-12/what-we-know-about-the-suspected-killer-of-charlie-kirk

LA Times wrote this less than 15 minutes ago:

Investigators are still looking through evidence and trying to determine a motive in the slaying.

The only things in writing are the words etched into the bullets, and those are mixed. He wrote an anti-fascist statement on a bullet casing and other text on others, but nothing to indicate he had liberal or conservative ideologies. If anything, he appeared to be mostly mad at the whole system.

[–] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 66 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly with this administration, I have a difficult time believing any evidence they provide. The head of the FBI is a fucking podcaster who was able to lie profusely to the point that he caught Trump's attention. That must take a lot of lying.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 55 points 3 weeks ago (11 children)

He wrote an anti-fascist statement on a bullet casing

No, he wrote Helldiver's 2 and groyper memes.

Not conservative enough? Jesus Christ, who does he want? Satan himself?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 93 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

No, Nick Fuentes. Satan is way less far right

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 71 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nazism.

They want a return to Nazism.

Nick Fuentes is where the path Charlie Kirk paved leads.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 37 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Nick Fuentes is an open and proud Nazi and says so on his live streams.

Imagine the most vile, ridiculous position you can think of a right-wing nutjob could take, multiply that by all the positions neonazis take, and then make him look like Dr Mephesto’s mini-me version of 1940s Spike Jones (the comedy band leader, not the modern Spike Jonze) with the confidence and hubris of the sleaziest car salesman you’ve ever seen.

This dude is so far gone he used to stalk and harass Charlie Kirk himself for online video clout, and he bragged openly about “infecting and impregnating Turning Point USA” and “fucking it raw from the inside out” (not sure what he claimed to have done to cause that, but it’s some shit he spewed on camera).

It would come as no surprise to me that his little cult of groypers are far enough gone to have been the perpetrators here. We shall see when the details come out. I hope he makes it to trial and the sunlight hits all of this ugliness; though I fear it’s all become UV resistant at this point, and it will just stir up a bunch of “look what the left made us do just by existing!” nonsense.

Satan is pretty liberal, I mean he didn't subscribe to authoritarian God, he's cool with anyone's sexuality or gender. He's not the one send people to hell because they broke a rule... He was sent there too.

Wtf is a groyper? Stop making up words. I can't keep up with this shit.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 111 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

They are a neonazi christian nationalist group led by Nick Fuentes, who was known to have a long-standing feud with Charlie Kirk. To give it more context, these people are so far right that they view Charlie Kirk as liberal.

I had to look “groyper” up too.

I think I’ve hit that point in aging where I just have to embrace being that antique family member and start asking my kids, nieces, and nephews what the slang means as new words get rolled out.

Funny how the two main shots at fascists were done by fascists. Yes, we're obviously the dangerous party here🤡

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 77 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Call me cynical, but I'm convinced that the MAGA mouthpieces all knew full well from the start that the balance of probability was that it would be one of their own.

They knew they'd have maybe 48 hours max to flood all outlets and social media with stories of it being a suspected trans activist, so that by the time the truth came out the story would already be old news and people would be fatigued and just remember that there was some uncertainty over his motives.

Some really mind bending shit on r/conservative right now. Apparently the guardian posted and retracted some horseshit from a liar claiming to know Robinson and that he was a leftist. Conveniently none of the conservative dipshits noticed the retraction at the top:

Editor’s note: This article was updated on 12 September 2025 to remove quotes after the verified source who attended high school with Tyler Robinson said after publication that they could not accurately remember details of their relationship

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/12/suspect-charlie-kirk-shooting

At least I'm assuming the editor's note means they removed the quotes the conservatives posted. Either that or they posted a fake screenshot.

I check into that sub every now and then to remind myself of what mental illness looks like.

A very deep sigh of relief was uttered by me, but then turned into a groan of frustration, because all those right wing nutcases who were calling for the heads of all leftists are now again demanding sympathy. Fuck them.

That's right, folks. The real problem with Charlie Kirk, is that he didn't hate the Jews enough. /s
