Suspected Charlie Kirk Killer Reportedly Lived With Trans-Identifying Partner

Tyler Robinson, the suspected killer of popular conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, lived with a transgender-identifying partner, according to reports.

Robinson, who authorities arrested on Thursday night, “lived with his transgender partner,” Fox News reporter Brooke Singman posted on X, citing unnamed sources.

“The individual, who is a male transitioning to a female, is fully cooperating with the FBI,” Singman said of the suspected shooter’s apparent romantic partner.

The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh said he also confirmed the identity of Robinson’s partner.

“I’ve independently confirmed that Charlie Kirk’s assassin did in fact have a transgender boyfriend. This is LGBT extremism. A lot more will be revealed soon. The ‘far right’ narrative is absolute bulls***. Not even close to true. Don’t fall for it,” Walsh posted.

The revelation about Robinson’s relationship has come after a torrent of evidence suggesting that the suspect is on the political Left, and he allegedly targeted the conservative Kirk over politics. GOP Governor Spencer Cox of Utah said on Saturday that the suspect was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.”

The bullet casings in the suspected assassin’s weapon had anti-fascist slogans and phrases written on them, such as “Hey Fascist! Catch!” Another included the lyrics from a famous Italian anti-fascist song called “Bella Ciao.”

Family members told authorities that Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, had gotten increasingly political in recent years. The suspect disliked Kirk in particular; at a recent dinner, he spoke of how much he disliked and disagreed with Kirk while mentioning that the conservative planned to visit Utah soon for an event at Utah Valley University.

Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated at the Utah Valley event.

On Friday, Cox said that the assassin’s bullet that killed Kirk was also an attack on the fundamental values of the United States. 

“This is certainly about the tragic death, assassination, political assassination, of Charlie Kirk,” said Cox. “But it is also much bigger than an attack on an individual. It is an attack on all of us. 
It is an attack on the American experiment. It is an attack on our ideals. This cuts to the very foundation of who we are, of who we have been, and who we could be in better times.”
