President Donald Trump announced Friday on “FOX & Friends” that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson of Utah is the suspect in the assassination of conservative Charlie Kirk.
“I think, with a high degree of certainty, we have him in custody” Trump said during an interview. His statement was later confirmed by Gov. Spencer Cox, during a press conference with FBI Director Kash Patel and other law enforcement officials.
Kirk founded Turning Point USA, a nonprofit organization that he launched when he was 18. He had one of the most-listened-to podcasts in America and a nationally syndicated radio show, “The Charlie Kirk Show.”
Kirk was just 31 when he was killed during a speaking engagement at an outdoor venue on Wednesday.
Gov. Cox said Robinson’s family members, specifically his father, who is a retired sheriff, turned him in after he either confessed or implied that he had killed Kirk.
Robinson allegedly fired a single shot from approximately 200 yards away with a bolt-action rifle, striking Kirk in the neck during a question-and-answer session on mass shootings.
Reports are still unconfirmed that the bullet casing recovered at the scene had inscriptions on them: “Hey fascist! Catch!” Robinson has reportedly expressed strong opposition to Kirk’s conservative messages and was a member of Democrat Socialists of America. The U.S. Marshals Service, FBI, and other agencies, took him into custody some 33 hours after the shooting.

Watch for the legal defense to claim mental illness due to brainwashing by the left. Or perhaps due to right-wing oppression resulting from his homosexual lifestyle choices. The insanity defense will be taken seriously by the courts despite all the rational planning, practice and accomplishment of a complex, precisely calibrated, sniper operation. It is a popular legal maneuver in our broken culture to conflate insanity with immorality.
