Grandson of 84 year old man who shot Ralph Yarl says grandfather had become radicalized.

The grandson of Andrew Lester says his grandfather had become radicalized and was a believer of the conspiracies being spread by Fox News, OAN and other conservative news outlets. A local Fox News channel in KC reports Andrew Lester and his grandson Klint Ludwig had become estranged over the past 5 years because of differing political beliefs. It was reported by the same Fox News channel another unnamed grandson of Andrew Lester stated his grandfather is a decent man and never exhibited any behavior that indicated he would shoot a person.

Here's an excerpt from Yahoo News on the matter....

A grandson of the man charged with shooting a Black teen in Kansas City’s Northland last week said he was “appalled” and “disgusted” at his grandfather’s actions and is thankful Ralph Yarl is recovering. “I was horrified. I thought it was terrible,” Klint Ludwig said of his immediate reaction to hearing about the shooting of the 16-year-old. “It was inexcusable. It was wrong. “I stand with Ralph, and really want his family to achieve justice for what happened to them. Their child or grandchild or nephew’s life was fundamentally changed forever, over a mistake and someone being scared and fearful.

“The only reason why he is now receiving charges and an investigation is being held was because of community outreach to bring attention to this,” Ludwig said. “The response has been great. It’s been amazing to see this solidarity and coming together as a community.”

Two other relatives who spoke with The Star said they didn’t believe Lester was a racist and thought he likely was scared when he shot Yarl.

Ludwig said he and his grandfather, who goes by the first name Dan, used to be very close.

“But in the last five or six years or so, I feel like we’ve lost touch,” he said. “I’ve gotten older and gained my own political views, and he’s become staunchly right-wing, further down the right-wing rabbit hole as far as doing the election-denying conspiracy stuff and COVID conspiracies and disinformation, fully buying into the Fox News, OAN kind of line. I feel like it’s really further radicalized him in a lot of ways.”

Imagine that, the leftist media uses quotes extensively from the grandson who is an admitted Dim/Groomer but the relatives who think Andrew Lester is a decent person are given a brief one sentence statement.......weird.
