(1,723 posts)11. Because Tyler Robertson grew up in a Mormon family, perhaps?
That was my first thought when I heard the story. RWNJ pissed at the Mormon's because of CK (or that event at least was the tipping point for long-held animosity)
I'm not yet disabused of that notion, though it could be totally off.
Not bashing LDS generally but they do do shady stuff as an organization, such as baptizing dead people (from what I've read)

Assuming he was a Trump supporter, as seems to be the case, what was his motive for attacking a Mormon church?

While they "knew" the Charlie Kirk murder motive before anyone was even caught.

It means that there was a potential motive. Nothing justifies that kind of hate and violence though.

He is Maga, perhaps he cannot determine the difference between a church and a mosque or synagogue

Maybe he blamed the Mormons for raising the man charged with Charlie Kirk's murder.
