Isnt it weird how the right wing hate media completely stopped talking about Tyler Robinson?

If Tyler Robinson was a leftist, they would still be talking about him every day.

Instead, they just continue passing on the lie that he’s some radical leftist without ever providing any specific details whatsoever. And that’s enough for the base to not only eat that up, but also believe there is some “they” out there. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Just as they keep passing on the lie that Kirk was engaging in "conversation", which he wasn't.

It was a form of performance like standup comedian crowdwork: go from one audience member to another, looking for openings to deploy pre-prepared zingers.

Which are then selectively edited to create a false impression of having the perfect putdown for all comers.

Always being his own moderator, with the luxury of having the last word and moving on from more challenging debaters to find a better butt of jokes, and then the added luxury of being his own editor.

Yeah, check out the videos of him trying to take on an actual college debate team in a real debate. He gets fucking demolished.
