    I keep seeing articles like this from writers who describe Kirk’s killer as someone with “vague” or “unclear” political motivations despite numerous reports with very specific explanations of each piece of information that all point to a specific group. These articles continue to imply confusion as if erring on the side of caution instead of even acknowledging connections to the bizarre alt-right extremists associated with people like Fuentes.

    It feels like it’s exactly this kind of reporting that helps people like Miller build off the confusion the general public has about Kirk, his hateful messaging, and the very real indications that an even more extreme ideology is connected to his murderer.
