Charlie Kirk shooting suspect was on the left but motive still unclear, Utah gov says (www.independent.co.uk)

The Republican governor added that Robinson is not cooperating with officials, but his roommate is. Cox described how the individual, whom he said was in a romantic relationship with Robinson, was “shocked” by the shooting and did not have any advanced knowledge of the attack.

There is “not a solid understanding” whether there was a connection between the gender identity of the roommate, whom Cox described as transitioning from male to female, and Robinson’s alleged shooting of Kirk, a conservative Christian who denied the legitimacy of transgender people, according to Cox.

In the wake of the shooting, allegations that Robinson’s roommate or partner is transgender prompted some in the MAGA movement to repeat the false, debunked claim that trans people are more likely to carry out gun violence.

Investigators are probing whether Robinson considered Kirk’s views on trans people to be “hateful,” Axios reports, as well as whether any local leftist groups knew of or assisted in the shooting plot.

Back to blaming the left I see.

Yep, and trans folks. The fact that their suspect's partner's full name and picture are being published by conservative ragebait sites today is extremely worrying.

That wasn't his partner, that was a dude who rented out a room to Tyler and took a selfie in a kigurumi.
