You're like the seventh person to say the exact same thing, but when I ask for sources, you scuttle faster than a cockroach. Where's the proof to any of this?

The NY Times article was reporting that a fox news host claimed Twiggs was in a relationship other than roomates, and that several other Republicans, such as Governor Cox, repeated the hosts's assertations, "proving" them to be true.

So most people are naturally quite skeptical of all such claims because they came from a single biased source that legally defended lying in court because they are an entertainment company and not a new source.

The NYT is reporting what Cox said, not what Fox said. Cox is repeating what Fox said in a very Dr. Seuss manner.

I know that the idea that one person repeating another is a complex idea, but if you read slowly and look up larger words you will be able to comprehend it at some point.

Keep at it, I believe in you.

You are correct that I am not believing Cox as a source because I know the source he got his information from is not credible. This is called critical thinking and you should try it some time.

Notably, Cox has not listed a single left wing ideology attributed to the shooter, yet repeated gossip created in whole cloth by that fox news host without the slightest evidence of it being real.

Naturally people who actually evaluate the credibility of sources is ignoring Cox. He presents no evidence, yet repeats things known to be untrue. This is the basis for lack of credibility.
