For those who don’t find “far-right” to be an applicable descriptor with what is known currently, I acknowledge that the meme creator could have been more precise with their word choice. However, I feel the difference is academic:

We can replace “far right” with the easily verified “not leftist” without changing the meme whatsoever, primarily because the meme is about Nancy Mace and her mercurial, disingenuous opinion, not (directly) about the shooter.

Edit - I modified it, though I still find it to be a distinction without a difference - alt version for those who prefer (whoops missed one first time)

    Here’s a Reuter’s article that has a bit more information about the shooter. Nick Fuentes has criticized Charlie Kirk for not being right-wing or racist enough. If the shooter subscribes to even a portion of Fuentes’ views, that makes him substantially further right than even most non-MAGA republicans.

    From the article:

    “the symbology found on the bullet casings suggests the shooter was part of the so-called Groyper movement, associated with far-right activist and commentator Nick Fuentes.”

      Again even in that article it’s speculation, is a helldivers call-down, and a “you’re gay” statement enough to correlate that?

      Didn’t another casing say “Hey fascist, catch”?

      I’m just saying until there is anything definitive said by someone who knows and it’s just speculation then making assertions is tantamount to disinformation at best and outright lies at worst
