He implied it but he straight up was factually saying they're trying real hard to show it wasn't one of their guys. It definitely wasn't any of the people MAGA wanted to pin it on.

Turns out it was some kind of apolitical zoomer whose friends were personally affected by Kirk's rhetoric likely because the problem with living in the most conservative US state is that a lot of people around you are probably repeating the vitriol.

There's still a decent good case to be made that MAGA bullied this kid into killing Kirk by threatening people he loves.

He lives in Utah. My uncle who had parkinsons would watch fox news all day and thought trans ISIS was going to invade his house in 2019. I can't imagine how difficult it is for anyone othered by these media cartels is in states where people are heavily enthralled.
