For three days, we were told this was a left-wing lunatic. Possibly transgender. Definitely Antifa. The Wall Street Journal reported "pro-trans inscriptions" on bullets before deleting the story entirely. Nancy Mace blamed transgender people, then pivoted to praying for the shooter once his identity emerged.
The truth: Tyler Robinson, 22, from a MAGA sheriff's family in Utah. His ex-sheriff father turned him in after recognizing him in FBI photos. Robinson was a Nick Fuentes fan who dressed as Pepe the Frog for Halloween 2018. The Bullet Inscriptions: Groyper Culture Decoded
What authorities found etched on the bullets reveals not leftist ideology, but deep immersion in 4chan Groyper culture:
As Was explained, these aren't random - they're "idioms and catchphrases used within the 4chan subculture of Groypers." Even 4chan users are saying "we think this guy's one of us." bullet inscriptions - "Hey fascist! Catch!" and "If you read this, you are gay LMAO" - are straight from 4chan Groyper culture, not leftist ideology.
Groypers are extremists who attack Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA for not being "adequately pro-white." Nick Fuentes, their leader, dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Trump never condemned him because, as Waj noted, "he realized it would hurt his base."
Utah officials confirm Robinson hated Kirk for not being conservative enough. The governor admitted they wanted it to be an immigrant or outsider, but "it's one of us." He then read the bullet inscription aloud - "If you read this, you are gay LMAO" - exactly what the Groypers wanted.
Kirk himself spent a decade spreading hate, calling for migrants to be whipped, promoting white nationalism across 3,500 campuses. He helped create the ecosystem that ultimately killed him.
Trump's response? Despite knowing the shooter was a Groyper, he told Fox News: "The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem." He claimed "bullets never come from the right" and said he "couldn't care less" about bringing the country together.
But here's the key insight from today's discussion: The truth doesn't matter to them. They care about the narrative. As I said on the show, this narrative building started the minute Charlie Kirk died - they immediately blamed the left, and they'll continue pushing that story regardless of facts. They'll let the truth be what it is - that a Groyper killed Kirk - but the narrative they're spinning is still going to be about the left, and that'll be what's believed. They don't need the truth to align with their narratives. They just need an excuse to begin the crackdown.
As Waj warned: "Donald Trump is not leaving, folks. He is not leaving legally or peacefully. This is a man who will declare martial law."
