An ABC reporter who was in attendance at a press briefing in Utah where charges against the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination were detailed claimed that the text messages between the alleged killer and his transgender romantic partner were “very touching.” In those messages, Tyler Robinson urged his lover Lance Twiggs to destroy evidence to help cover up his connection to the killing.
Matt Gutman told viewers “we have seen an alleged murderer with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it.
“But also it was very touching, in a way that I think many of us didn’t expect, a very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect’s roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who was transitioning, calling him ‘my love’, and ‘I want to protect you my love.’
“So it was this duality of someone who, the attorney said, not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So a very interesting… riveting press conference.”
Since a suspect was named, there has been an effort among mainstream media outlets to paint him as a person on the far-right wing and now that this narrative has been proven false by investigators, ABC takes the view that the alleged killer was a loving partner to his trans boyfriend.
