It is likely/possible the shooter was a groyper and a follower of Nick Fuentes. So a white supremacist who felt Kirk was insufficiently pro-white. They'd been stalking him for months over Kirk criticizing Trump once and also talking to a comedian who recently called for impeachment.

So yeah, they'll bury this, or want to.

They'll frame a trans person. WSJ is already setting the groundwork

And Alex Jones and the ilk are running with it.

But they reported all that before the imagea of the suspect were shown. They'll buy it as much as Trump the FBI informant. (Which is still more than it ever should.)
