There seems to be a lot of misinformation, insinuations and jumping to conclusions [View all]

about the suspect who killed Kirk coming from the right wingers.

They can't even agree on the number of roommates Tyler Robinson might have shared a home with. One of those roommates may be transitioning, but may not be according to others. Even if one of the roommates is transitioning it's quite an assumption to conclude that the person must be someone's lover. That's just where their minds go.

I suggest taking everything you are hearing with a huge grain of salt.
