He is reported to have quipped to friends that a “doppelganger” was responsible for the shooting after the FBI released images of the suspect.Discord has claimed it found “no evidence that the suspect planned this incident or promoted violence on Discord.”Despite this, there have been at least seven posts uncovered from social media users who appeared to have advanced knowledge of the assassination plot, as The Gateway Pundit has been reporting. The FBI is reportedly investigating those users.For example, one X user linked to Robinson’s circle posted “WE F-CKING DID IT” after the shooting.‘WE F-CKING DID IT’: X User Connected to Tyler Robinson’s Alleged Boyfriend Celebrated Charlie Kirk’s Death in the Moments After Shooting/*!
