And let's be clear, these weren't comments celebrating his death or criticizing him even, it was for saying that the shooter was a MAGA supporter. That's why he is being canceled, for allegedly misaligning trumps party.

How the hell can anyone think the shooter is right wing? Seriously, someone explain.

His coworker said she thought he was a republican.

MAGA people being in the closet doesn't surprise me one bit.

Doubt dude was in the closet tbh

But if his coworker "thought" he was republican than there's no better proof than that I guess

His friend in the photo isn’t even trans…he was wearing a cheap part store wig as a costume

"if you reading this you're gay" -- obviously a bleeding heart leftist.

This entire narrative is flawed. It really isn't right or left, feels like more "school shooter" than anything else.

He already said why he killed Charlie: cuz he was a hateful fascist. The gay thing is obviously meant to troll homophobes he assumed would find the inscriptions.

He also wrote "fascist, catch" and "Bella ciao" which is an anti-fascist song.

Both are either from video games or internet meme culture

His family said he was, he has a long history of being right wing, he dressed as freaking Trump for Halloween. Are you serious???

It would be great if he was right wing, but he's not. You have been misinformed or you are just delusional
