Here's an article from 2 years ago about the time Trump and Fuentes had dinner. Here's a link to share with your MAGA family and friends if the shooter ends up being a confirmed Groyper connected to Fuentes.

Charlie Kirk and Nick Fuentes have captured and radicalized young men to their separate right-wing causes. Kirk is super pro-Israel, Fuentes is anti-semitic. They are (were) rivals. Groypers tend to follow Fuentes.
Still too early to know for sure, but starting to look like the shooter was a Groyper. I'd guess Fuentes is shitting his pants right now.
No one is spiking the football yet. We've had 2 days of right wingers (including national politicians!) implying the shooter was a tranny leftist. What we actually know so far counters their dangerous rhetoric towards marginalized people. It's ok to shove this shit back in their face.
IMO this kid wouldn't have killed Charlie Kirk if he wasn't proficient with firearms.
I know there's little that can be done about gun culture, and I'm not implying that it's an overall negative. But as parents we have to be more thoughtful about it.
The right wingers are scrambling but already trying to blame university education for turning this kid into a killer.
The MAGAfication of schooling just got sped up.
