While it's clearly bullshit to claim that Robsinson was a leftist, it also seems dishonest to paint him as right-wing. Especially his motive remains shrouded in mystery and certainly can't be boiled to "Kirk wasn't right-wing enough" at this point. It all seems super ambiguous, there's no simple explanation there.

A recent shared chat conversation (not quite so verified, take it with a grain of salt) cited him saying Kirk was just too hateful.
That’s a very broad thought any human can come to, even without “subscribing to left wing ideologies”.
If you want to avoid political assassination in America, tone down hateful rhetoric, tone down guns. Whichever side owns them.
You need to remember that right wingers are pretty terrible at recognizing their own bias. When Robinson's friends are like 'we're a completely political neutral discord, praise God almighty', you need to understand what's actually being said when they also claim that Robinson was 'politically neutral.'
