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.

[–] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 68 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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But just in case if you mean the tweet being made and made by that account, it is still up and I made an archived version of it.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 49 points 7 hours ago

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.

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 55 points 9 hours 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".

He absolutely said that and tried to make it seem like he was talking about him being an Utah citizen.

I will never be able to get over how this frightened, insecure 11 year old in an adult costume presents himself on camera:

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.

Not cancelled, delayed. The screeches about this being a left wing plot going back decades haven't gotten rolling yet. The far right's civil war will be back on by suppertime.

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

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 72 points 9 hours 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 59 points 9 hours 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 39 points 9 hours 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 52 points 9 hours 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 42 points 8 hours ago (5 children)

He wrote an anti-fascist statement on a bullet casing

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

There is a post on front page of Reddit that said shooters granny said he was maga on her Facebook page but I did not see any proof of it one way or other.

Edit post is here now too

To be fair, my own granny died thinking I was still a card carrying Republican. Sometimes you don't tell Grandma you are a godless liberal. The old folks don't really need to know everything. Christmas gets kinda awkward if you do.

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

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.

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 48 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 68 points 6 hours 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.

Groyper vs TPUSA Gang violence.

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.

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

And just like that Trump cares more about the Ballroom we are buying him.

But that also doesn't stop him from spreading lies about 'WoKe FaR-lEfT AnTiFa'.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (8 children)

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.

As always, I like to see more than an image of a tweet, but Shuster is an actual journalist.
