Thoughts on the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Part Two

(Alleged Assassin Not a Conservative, But in the Leftist/ LGBTQ Camp)

By Gary F. Zeolla

  

    This multi-part article is continued from Thoughts on the Assassination of Charlie Kirk: Part One (Leftists Could Not Refute Kirk's Calm Reasoning, so They Vilified Him; Charlie’s Family and Faith).

 

Suspect Caught and Details on Him

 

      Early Friday morning (9/12/25), Trump announced on Fox and Friends that a suspect had been caught. A press conference at 10:00 am EDT confirmed that was the case.

      Tyler Robinson, 22 had been arrested at 10:00 pm MDT the evening before.  Apparently, he confessed to family members, then his father either turned him in or encouraged him to turn himself in. A minister was also involved in the process.

      The family said that at a recent family dinner, Tyler was upset about Charlie speaking at UVU. He said Charlie was “full of hate and spreading hate.” That shows Tyler believed the lies of the left about Charlie.

      I would bet Tyler had not actually listened to Charlie debate with students. If he had, he would have known Charlie was always very respectful of those he debated with, never showing anything remotely close to “hate” towards them. That means, I am correct in laying the fault for this assassination at the feet of the left and the lies they tell about conservatives.

      At the press conference, it was reported there were inscriptions on the gun and ammo. They read as follows:

 

Hey fascist! Catch! [with up arrow symbol, right arrow symbol, and three down arrow symbols]

If you read this, you’re gay. LMAO

O Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao.

Notices bulges OwO, what’s this?

 

      The first is apparently the suspect calling Charlie a fascist, snidely telling him to try to catch the bullet. That confirms the Antifa (or at least antifascist) mindset of Tyler. “The arrow symbols may have been a video game reference.”

      The second apparently is him calling Charlie a homophobe. That shows Tyler did indeed kill Charlies for his viewpoints.

      The third is “is a clear reference to the song ‘Bella Ciao,’ which is idolized in Antifa circles.”  That indicates Tyler has Antifa sympathies.

      The fourth “is reportedly a reference to homosexuality associated with ‘furry’ fetishes or attraction to cartoon animals.” That comes from Tyler’s trans sexual partner (more on him in a moment) and Tyler’s participation on a furry message board:

 

      Reports have revealed the alleged partner was an aspiring professional gamer who identified as a “furry,” linking to animals with human traits. Some reports have called Robinson a “furry chaser,” someone attracted to transgenders who have male sex organs…

      “Robinson was reportedly also linking to ‘furry’ message boards on FurAffinity.net, where animal-like avatars are shown in sexual positions” (Newsmax. Shooter’s).

   

    That is just plain sick and shows Tyler was a disturbed individual. (details and inscriptions from Breitbart. ‘Bella; Breitbart. Etchings). The homosexual references put in him in the LGBTQ camp and the rest in the Antifa/ far-left camp.

    Further putting him in the LGBTQ camp is the man he is currently living with in a romantic relationship is in the process of mutilating his body in a futile attempt to become a woman (see my Trans Terrorist article for my language here). Remember, Kirk was shot while answering a question about trans violence, so I hope law enforcement is investigating if there is a connection.

 

      Ideological opponents often challenged Mr. Kirk on his anti-transgender views when he visited college campuses to engage students and others in open-air debates through his conservative youth organization, Turning Point USA. Mr. Kirk was answering a question about transgender people and mass shootings at Utah Valley University on Wednesday when he was fatally shot (NYT. Kirk Shooting).

 

      Bureau officials confirmed that Tyler Robinson, 22, was in a “romantic relationship” with the unnamed person, who is a male transitioning to a female, and that they shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah. Those FBI officials told Fox News Digital that Robinson's partner is fully cooperating with the FBI's investigation (Fox News. Alleged).

 

      That person “is a boyfriend who is transitioning from male to female,” [Utah Governor Spencer] Cox said, misgendering the roommate. Cox was confirming earlier reporting from Fox News (NBC News. Alleged).

 

    Notice that NBC is more concerned about the trans partner being “misgendered” than what his role might be in the assassination. But to sum up, you have a man sleeping with a man, who wants to be woman, with both of them pretending to be animals, so they can mimic having sex with animals. That is about as far from a conservative or Christian mindset as you can get. It is in fact sick, perverted, unchristian, and unbiblical:

 

      22‘And you will not sleep {Heb., lie} [sexually] with a male [as with] a woman, for it is an abomination. 23And you will not give your sex {for insemination} to any animal, to be polluted with it. And a woman will not present herself before any animal to mount [fig., have sex with] [it]; for it is a perversion (Lev 18:22-23; ALT Torah).

 

      5“[The] vessels [fig., clothing] of a man will not be on a woman, neither shall a man clothe himself with a feminine robe [or, clothes of a woman], for everyone doing these [things] is an abomination to the LORD your God (Deut 22:5; ALT Torah).

 

            27and likewise also the males having left the natural use of the female were inflamed in their craving for one another; males with males committing shameful behavior and receiving back in themselves the requital which was fitting [for] their deception [or, perversion]….

      God gave them over to a disapproved [fig. debased] mind to be doing the [things] not proper, 29having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetous desire [or, greed], malice; full of envy, murder (Rom 1:27,28b,29a; ALT3c).

 

       Engaging in such sinful behaviors puts Tyler firmly in the LGBTQ camp. Moreover, the trans partner’s views are very relevant to this case and the mindset of Tyler:

 

      The trans roommate of Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin “hates conservatives and Christians,” one of his relatives told Fox News Digital in an interview….

      “He hates conservatives and Christians,” the relative said. “He hated us. He was not raised that way, but he, over the years, has become really detached [and] been radicalized.”

      “He has obviously gotten progressively worse the last year or two,” the relative said, adding that he's “always very angry” (Fox News. Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin).

 

    This hatred and anger for conservatives and Christians could very easily have infected Tyler.

 

       Tyler’s leftist leanings were confirmed by a friend: 

      The alleged assassin behind Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s death on September 10 is described by a friend as being “pretty left on everything,” according to a report from the Guardian….

      In a phone interview on Friday, one of Tyler Robinson’s high school friends, who asked to remain anonymous, said that the suspect was “pretty left on everything” and was “the only member of his family that was really leftist.”

      “The rest of his family was very hard Republican,” the friend said.

      Around sophomore year, the friend said, Robinson became more extreme in his political views and would “always just be ranting and arguing about them” (Breitbart. Friend).

 

    What all of this means is, though Tyler was raised in a conservative Republican home, he rejected that upbringing and moved solidly into the leftists/ LGBTQ camp, possibly due to the influence of his trans lover. The internet also played a role in his radicalization to the left.

 

      Robinson is not cooperating with authorities, Cox said. Still, investigators have pointed to gaming and “dark internet” culture as potential factors that allegedly radicalized him based on information from family, friends, and acquaintances (CNN. The investigation).

 

      Cox described Robinson as once a “very normal, very smart” young man who earned a 4.0 grade-point average and a 34 on the ACT before he briefly attended Utah State University. But Cox said he seemed to change after he moved back home to southern Utah after a decision to leave school after one semester.

      Robinson spent much his time gaming and immersed in the “deep, dark internet, the Reddit culture and these other dark places,” Cox said. The inscriptions on the bullet casings near the scene reflect that meme-driven online world, Cox said (NBC News. Alleged).

 

      Cox said Robinson is “not cooperating” and that friends paint a picture of someone radicalized in the dark corners of the internet. “Clearly there was a lot of gaming going on,” Cox said on NBC. “Friends have confirmed that there was kind of that deep, dark internet, the Reddit culture, and these other dark places of the internet where this person was going deep” (Newsmax. Utah Governor).

 

    Finally, the FBI is now investigating left-wing (not right-wing) organizations to see if they had any involvement in the assassination or gave any aid to Tyler (Fox News Hourly Update, 10 am; 9/15/25). Consequently, on many lines of evidence, the alleged assassin was on the left, not the right.

 

“Garbage In; Garbage Out” Applies to AIs

 

      The following is a post by Grok AI on X on September 13, 2025:

 

Charlie Kirk Fatally Shot by Fellow Conservative at Utah University Event

      Charlie Kirk, the influential conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 11, 2025, during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson from a Republican-leaning family, surrendered after his father turned him in, with authorities charging him with murder in what they called a political assassination motivated by Robinson’s view of Kirk as insufficiently conservative and fascist-like. Kirk’s death has drawn worldwide tributes, including vigils in London and New Zealand, while igniting fierce debates on political violence, online radicalization, and America's deepening divisions.

      This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.

 

      The phrases “Fellow Conservative” and “Robinson’s view of Kirk as insufficiently conservative” are lies. But I don’t think Grok AI can be faulted. The old computer adage applies to AIs, “Garbage In; Garbage Out.” The “Garbage In” comes from leftists’ posts on X trying to spin the truth that Tyler’s family were Republicans to him being conservative. They are also claiming Tyler self-identified as a conservative. But I cannot find any news outlet reporting such.

    Given that he is not cooperating with police, it is quite impossible for such to even have been reported. “Cox also said Robinson has not been cooperating with authorities. The federal official told NBC News that Robinson has invoked his Fifth Amendment rights” (NBC News. Alleged). That means he is not talking at all, so any claims about what he has said are simply made up.

 

    Another possible source for the false claim Tyler is a conservative is the following. But it also had no basis:

 

      Some have attempted to draw a link between Robinson and the far-right Groyper movement, a decentralized group of white nationalists who follow Nick Fuentes and coalesce online around obscure and extremist meme culture. The movement had been at odds with Kirk’s brand of conservatism for some time. Some noted that a Halloween costume worn by Robinson closely resembled a Groyer mascot, and that the Bella Ciao song appeared on a recent public Groyper playlist. But experts on the group have downplayed the evidence released so far.

      Fuentes, the unofficial figurehead of the Groypers, has publicly condemned the shooting of Kirk, writing on X that “my followers and I are currently being framed” for Kirk’s killing “based on literally zero evidence” (Time. Tyler Robinson, … Left).

 

    Given all of this evidence, any claims Tyler was a conservative at the time of the shooting have no basis in fact. Thus, Grok repeating that claim is “Garbage Out.” As the preceding section proved, multiple lines of evidence point to him being solidly in the leftist/ LGBTQ camp. The Utah Governor concurs:

 

      Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, is not cooperating with investigators, Utah Governor Spencer Cox revealed on Sunday [9/14/25]….

      The governor told NBC that the 22-year-old Robinson “does come from a conservative family, but his ideology was very different than his family... There clearly was a leftist ideology with this assassin in recent years.” He said that conclusion was reached based on investigators' interviews with family members, but did not provide any further details….

      According to the Washington County Clerk, although Robinson’s parents are registered Republicans, he is not affiliated with either party and has not voted in the last two elections (Time. Tyler Robinson, ... Is).

 

      “It’s very clear to us and to the investigators that this was a person who was deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” the governor said providing no elaboration (Newsweek. Utah Governor Suggests).

 

      In his appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, Cox put an end to a claim that made the rounds on social media and in conspiracy theory circles that Robinson was a conservative or a Republican. “We can confirm…according to family and people we are interviewing, he does come from a conservative family but his ideology was very different than his family” (Breitbart. Utah).

 

 

Reaction of the Right vs. the Left

 

      During the press conference, Utah Governor Spencer Vox (R) gave a lengthy impassioned speech against political violence. He noted that the reaction to the assassination was not violence, and there had been no riots. Instead, there had been prayer vigils. Those prayer vigils have been held across the USA and even around the world. All of them have been very peaceful, except the few times when anti-Kirk activists showed up and began shouting derogatory things about Kirk and swearing at the mourners.

      Cox didn’t specifically say it, but the insinuation was, if this had been a notable leftist figure who was assassinated, there would have been violence in the streets. We know that, as that is how the left always reacts when something happens they don’t like. From the post-George Floyd riots to the ongoing attacks on ICE agents. But the right reacts with prayer, which the left disparages, hence the attacks on the prayer vigils.

      But it has been good to hear that many on the left who celebrated Charlie’s assassination are facing repercussions for it, such as being fired or losing business contracts. Though you are free to make any disgusting remarks you want, your employer or business associates are free to cut ties with you if you bring disrepute to their companies.

    However, I do not at all support social media sites banning such people from their sites, nor do I support them being deplatformed from their own podcasts, websites, and the like, nor the government restricting their free speech. People should be free to speak and post whatever they want online and elsewhere. But I do support social media sites giving me the ability to block such people if I so desire. And I am free to not watch, listen to, nor read things I do not desire to pollute my mind with.

 

            8[As to] the rest [or, Finally], brothers [and sisters], as many [things] as are true, as many as [are] dignified [or, honorable], as many as [are] righteous, as many as are pure [or, innocent], as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] commendable, if [there is] any moral excellence [or, virtue], and if any[thing] deserving to be praised, be meditating on [or, be thinking about] these things (Philippians 4:8; ALT3c).

 

The Fantasy World of the Left

 

      At almost the exact moment Charlie Kirk was assassinated, yet another school shooting was occurring in Colorado. A student critically shot two fellow-students then killed himself. Another student was injured in the aftermath. Both of these tragedies occurred the day before the 24th anniversary of 9/11. But remember 9/12? How united we were as Americans? What happened?

      To answer my own question, the left began to live in a fantasy world, where boys can become girls and girls can become boys, where there are more than two genders, where a man can substitute for the wife in a marriage or a woman for the husband, where a baby in the womb is not human, where even “post-birth abortion” is okay, where criminals and illegal aliens are to be supported over the safety and jobs of American citizens, where borders are somehow immoral, where there is no difference between legal and illegal immigration, where disarming law-abiding citizens and defunding and vilifying the police will make the populace safer and not increase crime, where letting career criminals back on the streets and cashless bail will not increase crime, where increased law enforcement presence will not decrease crime, where withdrawing military personal first before American citizens and allies while leaving behind billions in military equipment is the best way to end a war, where increased government spending will not increase inflation, where inflation was transitory and the economy great under Biden, where transferring debt from those who took out loans to those who did not is fair, where fathers are superfluous and out-of-wedlock pregnancies are to be celebrated, where free speech does not include speech you disagree with, where the young and healthy have as great of risk from Covid as the elderly and unhealthy, where churches are nonessential and the Bible irrelevant, where words are violence, and where lies and misinformation are okay if they advance the preferred narrative.

      The only way the left can defend such fantasies is with disparaging name-calling, foul language, lies, misinformation, making things up, illogical reasoning, emotional manipulations, screaming, shouting down opponents, restricting free speech, and ultimately vandalism and violence. However, conservatives must not respond in kind. Instead, we should follow the example of Charlie Kirk and respond with truth, facts, logical arguments, calm reasoning, and yes, even biblical references.

 

            15But sanctify [the] Lord God in your* hearts, and always [be] prepared with a defense to every[one] asking you* an account concerning the hope [or, confident expectation] in you*, with gentleness [or, considerateness] and respect, 16having a good conscience, so that in what they speak against you* as evildoers, they shall be ashamed, the ones slandering your* good conduct in Christ (1Peter 3:15-16; ALT3c).
