Maybe Robinson is a Groyper -- The Groypers, sometimes called the Groyper Army, are a group of alt-right, white nationalist, and Christian nationalist[5] activists led by Nick Fuentes. Members of the group have attempted to introduce alt-right politics into mainstream conservatism in the United States and participated in the January 6 United States Capitol attack and the protests leading up to it. They have targeted other conservative groups and individuals whose agendas they view as too moderate and insufficiently nationalist.[6][7] The Groyper movement has been described as white nationalist, homophobic, nativist, fascist, sexist, antisemitic, and an attempt to rebrand the declining alt-right movement.[4][8][9][10]

Fuentes and the Groyper movement later supported Laura Loomer's candidacy for Florida's 11th congressional district in 2022.[79] On the night of the primary, Fuentes attended Loomer's election watch party, and they were filmed sharing a toast as results came in that seemed to suggest Loomer would defeat incumbent Congressman Daniel Webster; Loomer toasted "to the hostile takeover of the Republican Party".[80] When additional results came in confirming Loomer's loss to Webster by 7 points, she claimed without evidence in a speech to her supporters that her loss was due to voter fraud.[81][82]

In late 2022 and early 2023, the Groyper movement shifted away from its longtime position of supporting Trump and instead began promoting Kanye West's presidential campaign. West brought Fuentes to a dinner at Mar-a-Lago with Trump, which generated significant controversy and raised Fuentes's profile; Trump later disavowed Fuentes, saying he was not initially aware of Fuentes's views.[83][84] West's campaign soon included other figures in the Groyper movement, including Milo Yiannopoulos,[85] Ali Alexander,[86] and Rumble streamer Nico Kenn De Balinthazy, better known by his online alias "Sneako".[87] Many Groypers, including fellow streamers on Fuentes's website Cozy.tv, began using their platforms to promote West's antisemitic views.[88] Two Cozy streamers, Dalton Clodfelter and Tyler Russell, began streaming themselves harassing students at college campuses with a table display reading "Ye is Right—Change my Mind", a slogan that derived from a college tour by right-wing commentator Steven Crowder.[89][90] Jewish student groups and allies frequently protested these events, playing music on loudspeakers and chanting in order to drown out the streamers' speeches.[91] The planned college tour was canceled after less than a month after Clodfelter lost the funding for both the tour and the Rumble channel associated with it.[92]

On May 4, 2023, it was reported that West had fired Fuentes and Alexander, the latter of whom had become embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal involving young men and underage boys, and rehired Yiannopoulos, who had since split from Fuentes and was the first person to leak the allegations against Alexander.[93][94]

Reactions

The Groyper Wars earned widespread media attention after the UCLA incident with Donald Trump Jr. Chadwick Moore of Spectator USA commented that the ordeal revealed deep divisions within the American right among young voters, particularly Generation Z. Moore claimed this divide is due to the Groypers viewing Charlie Kirk and others in the mainstream conservative movement as "snatching the baton and appointing themselves the guardians of 2016's spoils", despite holding beliefs that Fuentes and his followers believe conflict with Trump's "Make America Great Again" agenda.[95] Another Spectator author, Ben Sixsmith, claimed that Turning Point's unwillingness to respond to controversial questions and use of insults to dismiss its critics revealed the organization's hypocrisy after having "promoted themselves as the debate guys".[96]

Several mainstream conservative commentators also weighed in. Addressing the increase in attention to the far-right due to the aggressive questioning of Kirk, Ben Shapiro gave a speech at Stanford University in which he attacked Fuentes (without naming him) and his followers as essentially a rebranded version of the alt-right.[97][98][99] Similarly, Dan Crenshaw called the questioners "alt-right 2.0", while American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp said, "there is no place in our conservative movement for those interested in fomenting hate, mob violence, or racist propaganda."[100] Conversely, conservative commentator Michelle Malkin wrote an article for American Greatness attacking Kirk's immigration policies, particularly his stance that immigrants who graduate from U.S. universities should receive green cards.[101] After defending Fuentes and his followers, Malkin was fired as a speaker for Young America's Foundation, a rival organization to Turning Point whose events Groypers had also targeted.[38][102] Malkin later called herself a mother figure to and leader of the Groypers.[103][104][105]

"Raised in the stereotypical All-American white conservative family with a sheriff for a father, Tyler grew up around guns and knew how to use them. It's the guns," Joel Montfort, a Democratic political scientist from Texas, wrote on X.

Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of Meidas Touch, wrote on X: "So after days of Republicans blaming and vilifying Democrats and trans people for Kirk's murder despite having no clue who the person was, we find out it's a white guy from a Republican family in Utah who loved guns."

Actor Billy Baldwin, citing the Daily Mail report, said the following on X: "Not Black.
Not Trans. Not Muslim. Not an Immigrant. Not a Democrat. Meet Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. A white Christian, Conservative, Republican male with a gun... again."
