Why would someone just make it up in an interview?

I would not count on FL or federal authorities to reveal it if they know it.

I remember that.

Kirk's organization was a pipeline for damaged teens into the alt right. That was a known thing and pretty well accepted until he was shot and he his life story got completely re-written.

I don't know, but I want to see better proof before I buy it. Witnesses exaggerate all the time.

It follows a pattern. At least 2 mass shooters were acting in his beliefs.

Stats show that 63% of those killed in mass shootings are killed by right wingers. Why would you question that a right winger shot someone

Just another MAGA killer.

What are we supposed to say? MAGA rhetoric is dangerous, you have to stop it, let's crack down on all MAGA groups because they're spreading hate!

Anyone can join Turning Point, but they kicked the guy out for his extreme views. Thank you for reminding everyone that Turning Point does not endorse white supremacist views.

The rhetoric in headlines alone is doing what our enemies couldn’t.

We are going to need some corroboration at this point.

The story is getting more awkward each passing week, last I knew the trial was delayed until March 2026 over a defense move suggesting time to prepare because of a change of lawyer for a capital murder trial (prosecution seeking the death penalty and seemingly argues the same) and the sideline stories on what the ideology of Phoenix Ikner was is all over the spectrum.

All we seem to agree on is he was on ADHD medication, perhaps a white supremist (or at least affiliated himself with a few white supremist groups,) and he apparently bought into the 2020 election fraud stories.

This is exhausting.
