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.”

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.
