Rep. Dave Min (D-CA) went online and declared that the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk was “MAGA.” He did so without a shred of evidence.
“Now that the Charlie Kirk assassin has been identified as MAGA, I’m sure Donald Trump, Elon Musk and all the insane GOP politicians who called for retribution against the ‘RADICAL LEFT’ will now shift their focus to stopping the toxic violence of the RADICAL RIGHT,” Min posted on X.
The California Democrat left his post up all weekend. At no point has he offered proof for the accusation.
Meanwhile, the suspect, Tyler Robinson, lived with an individual who is in the process of “transitioning” his gender.
That individual, 22-year-old Lance Twiggs, was described by officials as Robinson’s boyfriend.
Axios cited six sources close to the investigation who said Robinson’s motive may have been rooted in Kirk’s views on transgender issues. Robinson reportedly considered Kirk’s opinions “hateful” to Twiggs.
Relatives and friends confirmed that Robinson became “increasingly political” in the past few years.
He even expressed interest in attending one of Kirk’s upcoming debates at Utah Valley, per Trending Politics.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) revealed that Robinson was recently in a conversation where someone told him Kirk “was spreading hate and was full of hate.”
Robinson also engraved disturbing messages onto shell casings. One read “hey fascist, catch.” Another referenced an Italian communist song popular among Antifa-linked groups.
The FBI is now investigating several left-wing organizations. Authorities want to know if those groups had advanced knowledge of the attack or assisted Robinson afterward. At least one of the groups deleted its social media presence just hours after Kirk was killed.
Despite mounting evidence of far-left ties, figures like Min continue to insist Robinson was tied to the political right. No such evidence has surfaced.
Robinson did grow up in a conservative household. However, his relatives told reporters that he had moved further left in recent years. The same was said of Twiggs. One family member described Twiggs as the “black sheep” of his St. George, Utah family.
Media outlets also joined in with reckless speculation. Reuters reported, without evidence, that Robinson had ties to Nick Fuentes’ Groyper movement.
The outlet quoted Rachel Kleinfeld of the Carnegie Endowment. She claimed the messages written on the shell casings “suggested ties to the Groyper movement.”
“It’s an eclectic ideological movement marked by video game memes, anti-gay, Nick Fuentes white supremacy, irony,” Kleinfeld told Reuters. “It certainly leans right, but it is quite eclectic.”
Reuters later edited its article to remove the claims. It did so quietly, without an editor’s note.
Democrats and media allies continue to advance the “MAGA” theory. Investigators, however, continue to track the shooter’s far-left connections.
