Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, September 13, 2025

Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday. That individual, who has yet to be identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News' Brooke Singman. Text messages and other communications that the transgender individual traded with Robinson, 22, helped the feds nab the accused assassin.

The right will only see the shooter's hatred for Kirk, and if the shooter was angry about the treatment of transgender people, they will never admit how Kirk's/their own hatred for transgender people played a role. The right is basically out to eliminate transgender people both literally and figuratively. It's like that old Dylan song said: "When you ain't got nothin,g you aint got nothing to lose." I have to hand it to the right though, they really do have sequence of who to vilify and eliminate down to the most devastating and evil process. Start with transgender people and immigrants, move up to the homeless and disabled, branch out to political opponents (start with the most radical), move on to other LGBTQ people, etc.

This is what I was talking about DonorBot, WSJ wasn't wrong they were just told to shut up as the Feds are scraping the Discord network of Transgenders servers in UVU area. Many of them posted days before about something happening, with a "grin".

You Lumpers have to be on an emotional roller coaster, I get it.

If this is true, maybe you'll learn something from this, to look at all evidence more objectively, not pin your hopes on a "rightwing negative" narrative.

I hope Alexa can finally admit he's just a liar though, probably not.

idk, I think his dad would have turned him in regardless, this seems to be a trend in middle America. He had friends in law enforcement, and the rifle might have been in his name.

Romans 2 "If you judge someone else, you have no excuse for it. When you judge another person, you are judging yourself. You do the same things you blame others for doing." (NIV)

Paul has just spent the first part of the letter telling new Christians in Rome not to participate in the sexual practices they see around them. Then he tells them the same thing JC said, don't judge other people because you aren't perfect either... and if you do judge people harshly, that same judgement will be used against you.

RIGHT-CENTER BIAS
These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by appealing to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.

Overall we rate the New York Post on the far end of Right-Center Biased due to story selection that typically favors the Right and Mixed (borderline questionable) for factual reporting based on several failed fact checks.

AI Overview
The basis for Nazi Germany's persecution of homosexual men was a twisted ideological view of sexuality rooted in racism, militarism, and extreme social control.

The Nazis promoted a radical form of homophobia that viewed homosexuality as a threat to the state, the purity of the "Aryan" race, and the German birthrate.

Key ideological factors fueling the Nazis' hatred of homosexual men:

The killer having a trans partner triggered something in me.

He hated Kirk for attacking someone he loved. For dehumanizing someone he felt was important.

He did something about it. Something he was taught at home was okay if the " Right" type of person was the target.

I feel sorry for the kid.

I also know he deserves real punishment even if the Victim was a total POS.

So speech is violent, so using violence against a person is reasonable?

Just say what you really feel Effete.

Watching videos of him, I didn't like his positions on many topics, but I felt no anger towards him, and he really didn't express anger or hate towards those he was debating.

IMO as an immigrant, it's antithetical to the American spirit, liberty and freedom to believe someone's speech deserves violence.

Not sure why everyone is pretending to care about Charlie Kirk.

Some people view his death as an attack on their hateful ideology.

But no one care about gun deaths.

No one's even talking about the dead kids in Denver.

Is Charlie Kirk, a hate preaching psychopath, more important than kids who get gunned down while attending school?

But my guess is the Trans people wouldn't return the favor. So here we are.

Kirk hate quotes:

sg.news.yahoo.com

https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/charlie-kirk-legacy

AND

"Kirk was a poster child for our emergent Christian Fascism. He peddled the Great Replacement Theory, which claims liberals or "globalists" allow immigrants of color into the country in order to replace whites, distorting immigration trends into conspiracy.

He was Islamophobic, tweeting "Islam is the sword the left is using to ---- the throat of America," and that it is "not compatible with western civilization."

When children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel said "Jesus says to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself," Kirk retorted that "Satan has quoted scripture plenty" and added "by the way Ms. Rachel, you might wanna crack open that Bible of yours, in a lesser referenced part of the same part of scripture is in Leviticus 18, is that thou shall Lay with another man and be stoned to death."

He demanded we roll back the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and disparaged civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King. He was demeaning towards Black people,

"If I'm dealing with somebody in customer service who's a moronic Black woman...is she there because of affirmative action?" He said "prowling Blacks" are targeting white people "for fun." He blamed Black Lives Matter for "destroying the fabric of our society."

Kirk insisted the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. He founded Professor Watchlist and School Board Watchlist to purge professors and teachers with what he called "radical leftist" agendas. He advocated televised public executions which he insisted should be mandatory viewing for children.

The idea that he championed free speech and liberty is absurd. He was an enemy of both."

""

Kirk, who was a cheerleader for the cult of Trump, embodied the hypermasculinity that is at the core of fascist movements.

This was perhaps his primary attraction to youth, especially white men. He claimed there is "a war on men," fetishized guns and sold Trump to his followers as a man's man."
