Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

The federal investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has yet to find a link between the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, and left-wing groups on which Donald Trump and his administration have pledged to crack down after the killing, three sources familiar with the probe told NBC News.

One person familiar with the federal investigation said that “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups.”

    Stop calling it an assassination! If Hortman’s killing was just a “murder”, them this is as well.

    “No evidence found yet”

    But I promise Mr. President we’re working as fast as we can to manufacture something against a minority or already marginalized group.

    It will bigly fuel the racist, fascist, and hate mongering machine your base loves.

    Make them scared and blame those less fortunate, just like Jesus would have wanted.

    P.S.

      They claim they’re christian and follow jesus’ teachings, but jesus taught compassion for those less fortunate. Not fucking hatred and whatever the fuck it is that christofascists are doing.

    “No evidence found yet” – the softest Trump-sucking spin the title could possibly have.

    They could’ve accurately written “there is no evidence,” but no – NBC’s implication is that surely there must be evidence; they just haven’t found it “yet!”

    It doesn’t matter. They have already convinced America, and started making the changes they want to. Any actual news that comes out now will be discarded by anyone who needed to hear it.

    both parties have overtaken our government in the name of their corporate masters with neither party being on the side of the people

    divisiveness caused by both parties not allowing other parties or ideas was always the goal by design and here we are
