Sorry to be so dense, but when I went to bed last night (late) there was no suspect identified

and now I see that one is in custody(good). But I am on the westcoast and I usually sleep in (it's still way before noon here) and I am having trouble catching up.

When I watch MSNBC and CNN it seems that the suspect is leftwing and anti-fascist. But here on DU several threads identify him as far right and a "Groyper". Complete opposites.

So I know which one seems likely to me personally since I have always suspected that he was going to be a rightwinger. But what is the evidence that he is a "groyper"? Is it strong enough that the corporate media will be forced to acknowledge it at some point?

I've actually been up for about three hours, but I'm still having trouble catching up. I guess it will all come out eventually so I'll try to be patient.

westie here, too

Social media may make it impossible for the corporate "news" to avoid this connection to the rightwing eating its own

I did see the blonde lady who covers the alt right on MSNBC kind of hint at it, but that's it.
