Suspect's Grandmother Says Family Is All MAGA

“The 22-year-old university student accused of assassinating MAGA firebrand Charlie Kirk grew up in a staunchly Republican, Trump-backing family,” the Daily Mail reports.

“Breaking her silence on Friday, Tyler Robinson’s grandmother Debbie Robinson, 69, said she is stunned by the charges against her grandson, describing him as a quiet, reserved young man who ‘never’ spoke about politics, despite his father’s staunch Trump support.”

Said Robinson: “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump… Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat. I’m just so confused.”

Elsewhere it is shown there are contending factions among the Maga and the killer was part of that.

Obviously, this is also horrible and traumatizing for her.

Young Tyler's Dad practically drove him to death row (and by "drove," I mean in a car!), although I think all the talk about the death penalty will now be softened. Even the Unabomber's brother demanded death sentence be off the table before turning in bro, but not these people! Oooofah!

Are you confused about your lack of awareness?

“Are you glued to Fox everyday?”
That would explain her confusion.
