Frankly, if TR was doing it for his romantic partner, the partner would probably have known about it.

First off, "romantic partner" is undefined so far. For instance, was the attraction one-sided, while the housemate saw Tyler as a friend?

The housemate's cooperation with the police indicates that she would have shared any info ahead of time rather than see even the loathsome piece of crap CK be killed, and Tyler's life ended.

There is no evidence the roommate knew about it, and, suggesting such without any evidence is irresponsible nonsense.

doing everything correct, being helpful and cooperative with the investigation and having good moral sense, and person raised in the Republican-voting, Trump-loving, law enforcement-working, gun-humping household is the deranged criminal.

And this is their smear campaign!

That is what she is doing wrong. The fact that she exists is a crime against them in itself.

who was motivated by that cesspool ideology.

The "he did it for his Trans lover" story?

I don't know how anyone would know anything currently.

He was a fan of Nick Fuentes and just as likely to have gotten motivation from the split in the far right who considered Kirk to be insufficiently pro-Trump.

I am too. It all seems very implausibly intersectional: extremist-right internet troll culture mashed up with Trans liberation.

What a time to be alive.

What was that about?

nt

for cellphones, and the guy in the white is holding his cellphone up but doesn't appear to be watching to see that it is capturing a good video. I wonder if they were questioned.

crap because even if this is true what does gender identity of the roommate have to do with anything? Sounds to me like an opportunity for them to hang red meat out there for the MAGA crowd to fixate on. Because the authorities don't want the roommate out in public speaking about Robinson the roommate also isn't in a position to deny or affirm what this a**hole of a governor is saying.

Gee Governor I can remember back when bad things would happen and the cops and the papers would report that the household was a "mixed marriage" or identify the national origin of a couple. For example if the husband robs a store they would identify him as being from an "Italian" household or family. As though that had f*ck all to do with the crime.

And they're also trying to swing the blame to the left using that trans angle.

Having a trans romantic partner will make it a hell of a lot easier to claim the shooter was left leaning rather then right. It directly counters the groyper claim. Most people will not believe someone who follows Fuentes would be romantically involved with or living with a trans person.

needs to be called out for what it is.

concerned with all the wrong questions. Everyone wants the most intriguing details NOW, whether they're true or not.

Remember having to wait for the nightly news or the next day's newspaper? Ahhhh.

Social media lives on assumptions and out-of-context statements. The nightly news or the next day's paper makes time to investigate a little. Social media wants an instant answer.

on cable tv and the Internet both of which predated SM.

If it's the case, it's the case, but the whole thing seems like the sort of thing that's going to be retracted later.

An article without any verifiable facts. Just Governor Cox's say so.

The best line they have so far is "oh yeah? Well prove this negative, then!" and that one won't take even take them around the block.

and they didn't have a place to bet on his political leanings. People assured enough in their predictions should be able to easily win money.

I seriously doubt they roommate is the shooter's lover, or that they are even trans. The only evidence we have of these claims is Cox and Patel pushing this story in incessantly.

that they were romantic. The magas are wanting it to be so so much wouldn't put it past them to pay the guy to say that they were lovers.

We have Cox and Patel claiming that's what the roommate said. And we're just supposed to trust that they're being truthful and not pushing an agenda.
