Fuentes: “I Got Shooters”

Sep 15, 2025 | TRUMP

Nick Fuentes is head of the “Groyper” movement which is an offshoot of the MAGA movement. This movement was thought to have radicalized Tyler Robinson, the man who murdered TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk.

Later, Fuentes posted this appeal, appearing to sound very scared.

Trump normalized name calling and violent language in 2015 and his MAGA minions picked right up on it.
He’s called people, women in particular, Communists, Marxists, fascists, pigs, scumbags, low IQ, and worse. Here is a compilation of some:

Vice President JD Vance went on Kirk’s podcast and vehemently denied that there was any name calling by Kirk:

According to AI research, Tyler Robinson was indeed influenced by Groypers, a division of MAGA:

Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, appears to have been influenced by the far-right Groyper movement, based on emerging evidence from his online activity and the context of the crime. While authorities have not formally confirmed his ideology or direct ties to any group, multiple indicators suggest that exposure to Groypers—known for their white nationalist, antisemitic, and Christian nationalist views led by Nick Fuentes—played a role in his radicalization. This aligns with a pattern of intra-right-wing tensions, as Groypers have long criticized figures like Kirk for being insufficiently extreme.

Key Evidence Linking Robinson to Groypers

**Social Media and Memes**
A 2018 Facebook photo shows Robinson dressed in a “Slavic Groyper” costume for Halloween, mimicking a popular alt-right meme featuring a Pepe the Frog variant (Groyper) in a black Adidas tracksuit, often associated with ironic white nationalist humor originating from 4chan and Fuentes’ community. This image resurfaced widely after his arrest, fueling speculation about his affiliations. Family members noted he became more politically active in recent years, criticizing Kirk as “not conservative enough.”

**Bullet Casings and Messages**
Unfired casings recovered near the rifle used in the shooting were engraved with cryptic references, including “O Bella ciao, Bella ciao” (an antifascist Italian partisan song, but also co-opted in ironic Groyper playlists on Spotify) and other memes tied to far-right online culture. Experts like Rachel Kleinfeld from the Carnegie Endowment described these as “symbology suggesting” Groyper involvement. Robinson reportedly admired Fuentes and viewed Kirk as a “gatekeeper” of mainstream conservatism, echoing Groyper rhetoric from the 2019 “Groyper Wars,” where Fuentes’ followers disrupted Turning Point USA events (Kirk’s organization) over issues like immigration, Israel, and LGBTQ rights.

**Digital Footprint and Discord**
Robinson’s roommate provided authorities with his Discord account, which included Groyper-related content, discussions of the rifle used in the shooting, and plans linked to Kirk’s event. While Discord confirmed no explicit violent posts, the platform’s messages aligned with far-right ironic extremism. Social media users on X (formerly Twitter) highlighted his engagement with Fuentes’ content, including posts calling Kirk a “fake Christian” and “globalist fraud.”

**Background and Radicalization Path**
Raised in a Republican, Mormon, gun-owning family in Washington, Utah (his parents and grandmother are registered Republicans and Trump supporters), Robinson had no prior criminal record and was an “inactive” voter with no party affiliation. He worked as an electrician apprentice, briefly attended college, and was described as “quiet” but increasingly political. Sources indicate his radicalization occurred online, likely through meme-saturated far-right spaces where Groypers recruit by gradually introducing extreme ideas under the guise of irony. This fits a broader pattern of “online radicalization” among young men in conservative households, where frustration with “moderate” figures like Kirk leads to alignment with more radical factions.

The FBI has emphasized Robinson acted alone, with no broader “radical network” confirmed beyond online influences, but the investigation into his motives continues. As of September 15, 2025, he faces charges of aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, and obstruction of justice, with a court appearance scheduled for September 16.

In summary, while not conclusively proven, the preponderance of circumstantial evidence—from memes to messages—points to Groypers as a key factor in radicalizing Robinson, turning intra-conservative grievances into lethal action. This case underscores the dangers of far-right online echo chambers, where ironic extremism can escalate to real-world violence.
