    They discovered that he became left-leaning. That’s really the only thing that came out of this and that he became more politically involved.

    None of that is in the article…

    Why spread righwing propaganda?

        It says:

        Robinson’s mother told investigators that in the last year, her son had “become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented,” Gray said.

        That’s not something found out “hours after the shooting”…

        That’s a MAGA mom saying how she felt he had changed in a year.

        And could very well be influenced after the fact if the roommate/partner stuff is true.

        It has nothing to do with the headline or anything else, it’s just the mom’s random comment.

          I have a real hard time believing that someone who was brought up in a Utah religious, guns, law enforcement, MAGA family ended up shooting Charlie Kirk after putting groyper messages on his rounds because he was so far left.

          The comment you replied to has no mention of “hours after the shooting”. That’s what te title of the post says. I don’t know if lemmy is acting up and you intended to reply to the main post instead of a comment.

      Um, it was in the article, at least in the words of his mom

      Robinson’s mother told investigators that in the last year, her son had “become more political and had started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented,” Gray said.

      Now, these days, simply having empathy can be considered to be “leaning to the left”…

        To his MAGA mom, accepting trans folks while retaining every other right wing shit view would be considered ‘leaning left’ because when you start off at the extreme even slightly approaching the center is considered ‘leaning more to the left’.

        That isn’t the same as ‘left leaning’ as used by anyone else.
