Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson ‘deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology’

WASHINGTON — Tyler Robinson, the alleged murderer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” a preliminary investigation revealed according to Utah Gov. Spencer Cox.

Cox noted that Robinson’s political leanings had since become “very clear to us and to the investigators” in an interview with The Wall Street Journal — after Kirk was shot and killed Wednesday at Utah Valley University.

At a recent family dinner, Robinson had mused over the conservative activist’s first stop of his American Comeback tour at the Orem campus, which was about a three hour drive from the alleged sniper’s home.

“They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had,” Cox added during a press conference Friday.

Evidence found at the scene of the fatal shooting provided a glimpse at a gunman with connections to internet culture, including bullet casings that stated, “if you read this, you are gay lmao” and the Italian phrase, “Bella Ciao” with roots in the anti-fascist movement during World War II that has since become popular on TikTok. ‘Hey fascist! Catch!’ was etched on another bullet.

The Post reached out to reps for Cox’s office for further comment.
