I mainly watch CNN and read the post and I have not seen anything that indicates he's MAGA and his postings plus romantic relationship indicate that he was anything but. I am truly curious as to where some people on the left are getting the notion that that Robinson was MAGA from.

Kids from conservative homes they were raised to believe that gay people are wrong and bad and going to hell who ended up being gay tend to commit suicide and an extremely high rate.

It is not a far leap to think that they also become homicidal.

Kimmel said, “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” He suggested the suspect, Tyler Robinson, was aligned with the MAGA movement and criticized Trump supporters for denying this to exploit the tragedy politically. Kimmel also mocked JD Vance’s claims blaming the left and called Trump’s emotional response insincere.

He lied. Again. Wasn’t the first time

DP. What was the lie? That Kirk was killed by a MAGA? The shooter was raised by a MAGA family in a deeply conservative community and state. His personal views, particularly on sexuality and LGBTQ issues, may have changed over the years, but he did come from a MAGA home.

Kimmel also didn't say that the kid was MAGA. He said MAGA was using this episode to consolidate power. And MAGA is using this episode to consolidate power.

Kimmel's comment.

“The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.

Yes, he was strongly implying that Robinson is MAGA, which is beyond ridiculous. - although not worthy of being canceled, just stupid.

In the early 2000s, experts on extremism identified a newly developing type of hate speech they labeled as “political dog whistles”. These dog whistles are meant to activate the unconscious prejudice and hatred within the intended audience without the audience even realizing it is happening to them. The language is coded to seem innocent for plausible deniability and it isn’t even possible for the target to understand what has happened to them. When extremists use these dog whistles, you need someone outside of the intended audience to recognize it, label it, and call it out.

It is no surprise that people on the left don’t understand these dog whistles that were being used. That is the really dangerous thing about these dog whistles in that you cannot even know they are being used on you. But outsiders do understand exactly what is happening here.

Can you please state the exact wording that is a “dog whistle”?

And would you concede that the right uses dog whistles as well?

I can show it to you, but as experts on extremism have noted, dog whistles are coded for plausible deniability. So you won’t even realize that the language is a dog whistle fanning the flames of your unconscious prejudice. So, don’t be bothered if you don’t see it. What Kimmel was signaling to violent fascists was that even if you murder a high profile political opponent in cold blood to silence him, the media will run cover for the cause and blame it on “the other side.” Othering is very important in the coding of dog whistles.

Yes, experts first identified the use of dog whistles on the right.

Speaking of dog whistles… this is just a small selection of Trump‘s dog whistles meant to incite hostility toward the left:

“Enemy of the People” – Used to delegitimize the media and critics.

“Radical Left” / “Far-Left Lunatics” – Dehumanizes or demonizes political opponents.

“Take Our Country Back” – Implies the country is under illegitimate control.

“Second Amendment People” – Interpreted by some as a veiled threat toward opponents of gun rights.

“Lock Them Up” – Encourages criminalizing political rivals.

“Rigged Election” / “Stop the Steal” – Undermines democratic outcomes and incites distrust.

“When the looting starts, the shooting starts” – Seen as condoning violence during protests.

“Thugs” – Used to describe protesters, often with racial undertones.

“Patriots” (referring to Jan. 6 rioters) – Frames violent actors as heroes.

“We fight like hell” – Preceded the Capitol riot and seen as a call to action.

Trump usually doesn’t let a day go by without making a comment against “ radical left-wing lunatics.”

What criminal statute is that?

The criminal statute that states “the party of **ck your feelings must not have their feelings hurt”.
They’ve exhumed McCarthy.

The right has been screaming cancel culture for years. They’ve been shouting at the top of their lungs that their first amendment rights are being taken. Why? Because someone on twitter said they would stop supporting them.

Now they’re threatening people for actual speech. This is an actual first amendment issue. Where are they now?

We’re in the same place we’ve always been. If Kimmel had been fired for his black face skit 30 years ago, THAT would have been cancel culture. But, Kimmel getting disciplined in real time for spreading obvious political falsehoods on the public air waves is a completely different animal.

This is the speech critcizing Donald Trump and his band of harpies, which said nothing about Charlie himself, only talked about the RWNj gang transparently cynically exploitating his death for personal , political , and financial gain.

The Right is lying, and they know it.

[Anonymous]

And Kimmel’s next and final monologue on the show, highlighting another day of horrific fascist behavior.

The right controls the media and social networks. Musk is leading the charge to kill all “leftists”. I guess that means anyone with a Tesla and everyone who refuses to buy a Tesla.

Every time a mainstream media figure gets cancelled, independent journalists on Substack get stronger. If the right ever gains control of Substack then we're really screwed.

He never said the guy was MAGA. He implied he could be.

Please. His statement does say he's maga.

He says he’s one of them. He is.

He’s a white, male, gun, lover, conservative, raised by maga.

But he left his home and was living with a trans woman and was rejecting his parents political beliefs. He stated in text messages sent to his romantic partner that his dad had become more right since Trump was elected and he didn’t agree with his dad. Lots of people here have the same complaints about their parents, people who are democrats and liberals.

Are the dcumers who have republican parents but reject their parents political beliefs MAGA? They are probably white, too.

Lots of gay MAGA in leadership positions. Nick Fuentes is reportedly gay. Lindsey Graham is gay. The shooter is maga. End of story.

Look this narrative change will not change your hunting down and killing all the leftists. You and your kind are going to do that anyway. Anyone who want universal healthcare, pre-k programs or criticize Israel.

He wasn’t conservative and used his grandfathers gun. Does he even own a gun? Plenty of liberals have maga or conservative parents that own and shoot guns. Plenty of people own and short guns and even murder people and aren’t maga.

None of the evidence presented shows him as a conservative or maga.

The difference is ABC firing him of their own decision vs being pressured to by the federal government under threat from FCC.

I’m sorry that you don’t understand mildly complex ideas expressed in English, but you are wrong. The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them even before Robinson was identified or caught. Robinson was raised Christian, Robinson was neither “coastal” nor “elite”. Robinson did not have a college degree; he was a college dropout from an Utah college. I haven’t heard any mention that Robinson had ever in his life left rural “red” Utah. Robinson was taught to use guns. Robinson was not transgender. (He might be gay or queer, but MAGA is struggling with whether they should think that’s OK now). Robinson’s only known “left wing” views were hating allegedly Charlie Kirk and allegedly loving his roommate. As far as I have seen, he posted no leftist/Democrat political views m and engaged in no organized left wing groups or activities, aside from opposing Charlie Kirk specifically. He never voted for any Presidential candidate!

[Anonymous]

They were just waiting for Kimmel to say anything so they could “justify” to their base to cancel him. How is the stiff T posts any less insensitive?? Calling other people losers straight up, including veterans, including Kimmel. Whether you found Kimmel funny or not is not the point- the point is he was cancelled simply because T is jealous of his ratings and for no other reason.
This is so messed up and those folks lugging and supporting this fascist behavior actually think they are safe- they seem to be in denial that their turn to be canceled is coming soon enough.

Tell me more about MAGA infighting.
