Matt Walsh: 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 bullshit. Not even close to true. Don’t fall for it.

Charlie Kirk Assassin Lived With Transgender Partner
By: Sarah Arnold | September 13, 2025:
In a disturbing development following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, sources now reveal that alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner at the time of the attack. According to individuals familiar with the investigation, the partner — a biological male transitioning to female — has been cooperating fully with federal authorities.
AdvertisementSources say the FBI obtained text messages and other communications between Robinson and this individual, which helped confirm Robinson’s identity as the shooter. These digital records reportedly played a key role in the early stages of the investigation, allowing federal agents to move quickly and secure evidence.
While details of the investigation have been sparse, this latest information raises further questions about the political and social environment that may have influenced the 22-year-old alleged shooter. Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative and outspoken critic of gender ideology, has been a frequent target of left-wing activists and mainstream media hostility. The fact that the alleged killer was in a domestic relationship that directly intersects with one of today’s most hotly contested cultural issues — transgender identity — cannot be ignored.
This situation highlights broader concerns on the right about rising political violence, particularly toward conservative figures. Whether motivated by ideology, personal instability, or a mix of both, the murder of Kirk is already fueling calls for a serious look into the social radicalization that appears to be intensifying among certain fringe elements.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed to The Wall Street Journal that the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination was heavily influenced by far-left ideology, stating, “It’s very clear to us and to the investigators that this was a person who was deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.”
Cox’s comments underscore growing concerns on the right that political radicalization on the left is not only intensifying but becoming increasingly dangerous. As more details emerge about the shooter’s background, including ties to progressive circles and a domestic relationship steeped in identity politics, the governor’s remarks point to what many conservatives see as a troubling trend: the mainstreaming of extremist beliefs that portray conservative voices not as opponents, but as enemies.
