In a series of recent updates on the Charlie Kirk assassination, a picture is emerging about the alleged assassin’s ideology, a possible motive, and how conservative activist Jordan Peterson factors in.
Speculation has been rampant as to the alleged assassin’s ideology, especially after it was revealed that he comes from a conservative family but was living with a transgender person. Tyler Robinson, the suspect, appears to have been having a romantic relationship with the roommate.
The Hill reports that Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) said: “There are a couple things that we can confirm that have been reported.
“We do know that the roommate that we had originally talked about, we can confirm that that roommate is a boyfriend who is transitioning from male to female. So we know that piece.”
“I will say that that person has been very cooperative with authorities,” he added.
Cox made the comments during an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”
According to Daily Mail, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said Robinson had been “infected” by an extreme leftist ideology leading up to the assassination.
From the Mail:
Reddit posts previously revealed by the Daily Mail appear to support that. But further messages show Robinson’s romantic partner Lance Twiggs was a fan of Peterson, even though he has famously railed against radical leftist movements, especially around gender identity, pronouns and the trans movement.
Posts made around 2020 and 2021 express Twiggs’s admiration for Peterson, saying his teachings were tied to ‘personal growth and becoming a better person.’
In forums discussing Peterson, Twiggs admitted to having once been ‘openly transphobic’ — despite being transgender himself.
FBI Director Kash Patel appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” Monday, revealing a chilling text message that sent by Robinson that may hints at a motive for last week’s shooting, according to the New York Post.
“[W]hat was found, in terms of information, a text message exchange where the suspect specifically stated that he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do that,” Patel said. “And when he was asked why, he said, ‘Some hatred cannot be negotiated with.’”
