Charlie Kirk Alleged Assassin From Republican Family Stewed in Gun Culture [View all]

Friday, September 12, 2025 at 10:00:00a CDT

This is not the story right wing haters wanted.

The Daily Mail and The Wall Street Journal already have stories that Tyler Robinson is from a Republican family and it was steeped in gun culture. Robinson registered as a non-partisan voter. Watching Fox since they are promoting hate every day, and all they can talk about is the anti-fascist markings on the bullets. As for all of this, crickets.

www.wsj.com/... (“The suspect in the assassination of conservative activist and influencer Charlie Kirk has in the past registered as a nonpartisan voter in Utah, public records show. Tyler Robinson, 22, has two parents registered as Republicans.“) (sry if paywall)

It's all speculation so far. herding cats Sep 12 #17

Gun-humper for sure. I used to think GOPers were the gun nuts. I'm no longer sure, to be honest. Silent Type Sep 12 #5

Huh? It's already been confirmed that the parents are hardcore Republicans. Wiz Imp Sep 12 #8

Oh sorry, I thought we were talking about the shooter, not his parents. Silent Type Sep 12 #10

The shooter donated to Donald Trump's campaign Wiz Imp Sep 12 #11

Citation? Only time I've seen he donated GOPer is by some podcaster with last name Kulenski. I hope he did, but Silent Type Sep 12 #14

He donated in 2020. He's 22. People change. LeftInTX Sep 12 #15

+1. Bullets could easily be an attempt throw dumb trump investigators off. But it could also just show he hated Kirk. Silent Type Sep 12 #16

I think so too LeftInTX Sep 12 #18

Every time the shooter is white male, he's just a disturbed boy travelingthrulife Sep 12 #40

White supremacists don't usually shoot each other, but who knows nowadays. Silent Type Sep 12 #42

Why does his mother call him "Logan" in the montage of gun pictures? BamaRefugee Sep 12 #7

They have 3 sons. Tyler was the oldest. Wiz Imp Sep 12 #12

We don't even know what he meant by the "anti-fascist. catch" meant. StarryNite Sep 12 #13

It's a catchphrase from a video game called Helldiver 2 Wiz Imp Sep 12 #19

So what does the "catchphrase" mean? StarryNite Sep 12 #20

I assume this is correct Wiz Imp Sep 12 #21

Well that's about as clear as mud. LOL StarryNite Sep 12 #23

Right. I agree. But based on everything we know at this point he didn't seem to be someone who Wiz Imp Sep 12 #24

Agreed StarryNite Sep 12 #25
