Dave Min after he falsely claimed that the suspect in Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination was a supporter of former President Donald trump and part of the &#8220;radical right.&#8221; Min made this statement shortly after Tyler Robinson,22,was arrested in connection with Kirk&#8217;s killing. Though, Governor Spencer Cox and other sources indicated that Robinson was actually influenced by leftist ideology, with Robinson reportedly expressing strong negative views about Kirk. Min&#8217;s post accusing the &#8220;MAGA&#8221; movement sparked backlash from Republicans, including the national Republican Congressional Committee, which called Min &#8220;unhinged&#8221; and &#8220;disgraceful.&#8221; Civil rights lawyer Harmeet Dhillon also condemned Min&#8217;s claims. Investigations are ongoing, including into Robinson&#8217;s motives, which may relate to Kirk&#8217;s views on gender identity, and potential connections to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >left-wing groups<\/a> in Utah. min, a freshman congressman, initially condemned the assassination but then engaged in speculative accusations that where widely disputed. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">California Democrat trashed after falsely claiming Kirk suspect is Trump supporter<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2227779\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep.
