Did Krassenstein brothers follow Lance Twiggs on TikTok? Viral claim explored as Brian Krassenstein seemingly responds

There has been lots of speculation online about if Brian and Ed Krassenstein, the outspoken twin brothers with controversial political opinions, follow Lance Twiggs, the transgender roommate of Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Tyler Robinson, on TikTok.

The accusation has generated a lot of conversation on social media and the brothers have responded to the accusations in many different ways.

The conversation started with a X user named @MissJinxed stating that the Krassensteins followed Twiggs on TikTok and another user named @RuthlessOutlawX who is credited to have pointed this out first.

Screenshots that circulated all over social media showed the brothers appeared to have followed Twiggs, leading to speculation and people questioning their motivation.

That speculation was further fueled, when one viral post also claimed that Brian Krassenstein had been linked to Robinson's "trans girlfriend" on social media months before Kirk was assassinated! One user then alleged there was probably a deeper connection to Twiggs altogether and the brothers.

Ed Krassenstein took a more direct approach to TikTok matters. In a post on X, he waved away the controversy. Though he confirmed the brother’s following Twiggs’ account, he explained that it was done as an attempt to get inside news and updates through Lance Twiggs account.

"Are people stupid? We literally followed him earlier today so we could keep up with his posts if he makes them. You people are sick," he wrote on X.

On the other hand, Brian Krassenstein responded to a citizen who claimed Robinson was dating a transgender woman, and explained that that was not the way to frame such a relationship.

"If you're a man who has a relationship with a trans woman, you are in a heterosexual relationship, because she is a woman and you are a man," he remarked.

These responses by the two brothers implied that the following was recent and was made for the purpose of monitoring Twiggs' activity, rather than suggesting any possible personal connection at all.

A look into Ed and Brian Krassenstein's controversial past

Ed and Brian Krassenstein are American social media personalities, writers, entrepreneurs who gained notoriety for their unwavering criticism of Donald Trump.

The twins gained a huge following on Twitter after tweeting and responding to Donald Trump's posts several times, making them the loudest voices in the online political discussion surrounding Trump. They were suspended from Twitter in 2019 for creating fake accounts, which they refuted. Their accounts were re-instated in 2022.

According to MSN, Ed Krassenstein has been a digital publisher and developer, and has spent the better part of 20 years in advertising and technology related ventures.

He co-founded NFTz.me (a decentralized NFT marketplace), and now operates Forum Advertising LLC, after developing and selling the 3DPrint.com (now considered one of the leading outlets in the industry). Both brothers have also been a part of media projects including podcasts and political news platforms.

The speculation over the Krassensteins' internet activity illustrates the speed with which online speculations can emerge, and how easily false unverified claims are shared after a high-profile incident.

At this time, there is no evidence of more than a superficial link between the Krassensteins, Twiggs, and Robinson beyond what we have already seen in the public platforms.
