Adeeb Nasir and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir—so, these guys were Amish, right? Were they also ultra-MAGA, like the suspected Kirk assassin, Tyler Robinson, who allegedly shacked up with a. transgender and engraved ‘hey fascist, catch’ on the ammunition. Apparently, these two details make Robinson an ultra-right-winger in the eyes of the online Left, who are convinced this guy was a Kirk follower.
Robinson was apprehended by police on Friday as well.
