Authorities are investigating whether Tyler Robinson, suspected of killing Charlie Kirk, believed Kirk’s views on gender identity were “hateful” to people like Robinson’s transgender roommate, six sources familiar with the case tell Axios.
The latest: Utah Gov. Spencer Cox ® confirmed Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week” that Robinson lived with a romantic partner who was undergoing a gender transition.
Robinson’s roommate is cooperating with authorities, Cox said, but Robinson is not and has not confessed to Kirk’s killing.
- The roommate was “aghast” at the slaying when speaking to investigators and shared electronic messages sent by Robinson, one of the sources said.
- “That’s what happened? Oh my God, no,” the roommate said, according to the source. “Here are all the messages.”

They’re so eager to pin this on transgender people and not the toxicity arising from their own group. Anything but having accountability
They want to commit acts of violence and will find any manufactured excuse possible to justify it. Stay strapped cos the right are violent psychopaths and they want you dead
the excellent Knowledge Fight podcast, which does media criticism of Alex Jones (and other right-wing ding-dongs) has the concept that big news events like this have a period of “wet cement”
when the cement is still wet, you can write whatever you want in it, and it’ll harden with your message written in it.
if you wait until the cement dries, you can’t do that.
the entire right-wing has been desperate to carve “transgender” into the wet cement of Charlie Kirk’s shooting. the exact details don’t matter. the important part is getting there before the cement dries.
This is such bullshit, they are desperate to pin it on anyone but themselves
They’re desperate to commit acts of violence
With as hard as Cox is pushing to tie this to Left-wing politics, I’m trusting absolutely 0% of what he says, including about the roommate.
I agree with you, but I also think that since there’s a video clip of Cox saying it on TV, the right will never ever let go of it no matter what turns out to be true. I want everyone to know this statement exists so they’re prepared for it.
I heard this on “This Week” and looked for details, but there aren’t yet many sources with details.
It saddens me that the right will latch on to this as proof Robinson is a “lefty” rather than seeing this kid was indoctrinated in right-wing thinking his whole life and when finally confronted with a left-wing issue he cared about, his automatic reaction was a right-wing response.
