FBI Investigating Social Media Accounts That Appeared To Indicate Foreknowledge of Kirk Assassination

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating social media posts by at least seven different accounts that appeared to indicate foreknowledge of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to three people familiar with the investigation and screenshots obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The posts—one of which referenced the date of Kirk’s assassination, September 10, more than a month before it took place—were all deleted in the days following the killing. Several of the accounts appear to belong to transgender individuals, and at least one of them followed suspect Tyler Robinson’s roommate, with whom Robinson was allegedly in a relationship, on TikTok.

The FBI has received archived copies of the posts, according to a person who flagged them for the agency. Screenshots of the posts have been circulating online but had not been previously authenticated.

While the posts do not establish that any of the individuals knew or conspired with Robinson, the 22-year-old gunman who allegedly shot Kirk, several of them mention the conservative activist by name and fantasize about his death.

“itd be funny if someone like charlie kirk got shot on september 10th LMAO,” one X account posted on September 3.

Tyler Robinson had rabid ‘obsession’ with Charlie Kirk, chillingly wrote he had perfect plan to ‘take out’ the conservative icon: FBI

Tyler Robinson had a rabid “obsession’’ with Charlie Kirk and vowed to “take out” the conservative influencer because he “hated” his views — boasting he had the perfect murder plan, the FBI revealed Monday.

“I think it’s pretty clear based on the statements of family members, friends and some of the messaging we have on these digital footprints left behind​ that [Robinson] clearly had some obsession with Charlie Kirk​,” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino​ told Fox’s “America’s Newsroom” on Monday​.

​”Charlie Kirk is obviously a conservative commentator​,” Bongino said. “I think it’s fairly obvious to everyone out there, and there’s no need to parse words with it, that clearly this was an ideologically motivated attack.”

FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox earlier in the day that Robinson, 22, had even told someone about his heinous plot before he fatally shot Kirk, 31, with a single bullet to the neck in an appearance at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.

“He had a text message exchange with another individual in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk — and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for,” Patel told “Fox & Friends.”

But the accused killer — a “furry’’-obsessed trade-school student with a transitioning male-to-female partner — suggested the same murderous thought later on a physical note, Patel said.

The FBI chief did not identify who the other person was or say if there would be potential charges against them for not coming forward earlier.

“​The written note, we believe, did exist, and we have evidence to show what was in that note​,” Patel said.

Ohio Republican claims Democratic Party ‘actually killed Charlie’ Kirk

A Republican congressman accused Democrats of killing Charlie Kirk while simultaneously pleading with liberals to ‘lower this rhetoric to a normal place.’

Kirk, 31, the conservative activist founder of Turning Point USA, was shot while speaking at a Utah college last week. Tyler Robinson, 22, is in custody as a suspect in the murder, and the FBI announced on Monday that his DNA has been linked to evidence in the case.

FBI Director Kash Patel said on Monday that investigators were able to retrieve text messages from the shooter, including an exchange ‘in which he claimed that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for.’

Reports indicate that Robinson’s roommate was a male who was transitioning, and that the bullets in the gun allegedly used to kill Kirk contained, suggesting the reason behind the murder may be political in nature, though authorities have not released a motive.

A major figure on the right, Kirk’s death immediately evoked a buffet of emotions on Capitol Hill, including fear, anger, deep sadness and loss. Both Democrats and Republicans have mourned the young father of two’s passing last week.

Since the public and tragic assassination, lawmakers have also been in a frenzy to tone down the extreme language peddled by politicians on both sides of the aisle.

But some, while calling for calmer political rhetoric, have inflamed the national dialogue.

Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, went on Fox Business on Monday and said that Democrats are to blame for Kirk’s assassination.

‘The truth will not be hidden, or buried or classified’: FBI is NOT ruling out co-conspirators in Charlie Kirk assassination

Was the assassination of Charlie Kirk planned by more than one perpetrator?

The FBI is reportedly looking into that possibility as Americans continue to mourn the Christian martyr and civil-rights leader who was gunned down Wednesday at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Journalist Benny Johnson posted on X: “Just spoke with top FBI official who made it very clear that they have NOT ruled out co-conspirators in Charlie Kirk’s assassination: ‘That assumption is premature. This investigation is just beginning. An enormous amount of evidence has been seized both digital and physical.'”

“FBI sources assure me the public will ‘know everything’ about the dark internet history, chats and affiliations of Kirk’s left-wing political assassin,” Johnson continued. “The source then alluded to some online groups attempting to delete or destroy evidence.”

“We have everything. We are focused on the radicalization element. The truth will not be hidden, or buried or classified. The public will know,” according to the source.

Journalist Nick Sortor confirmed the bureau is actively digging through chat logs, dark web history, and affiliations of Tyler Robinson, the suspect in custody, noting: “Another FBI source independently verified to me Benny’s reporting here is accurate.”

“NO STONE should be left unturned. We must know exactly WHO radicalized this degenerate, and lock their asses up.”

Transgender Social Media Users Posting Hints of Foreknowledge and Suspicious Out-of-State Visitors at Alleged Kirk Assassin’s Home Raise Serious Terror Network Concerns

A neighbor’s eyewitness account of suspicious activity at accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson’s Utah residence, which he shared with a transgender boyfriend, has raised suspicions about possible involvement from out-of-state radicals.

Robinson is accused of shooting Kirk, 31, moments after the Turning Point USA founder addressed a question on transgender mass shooters.

“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” leftist attendee Hunter Kozak asked Kirk before the single gunshot that would take his life rang out.

Investigators are now reportedly digging into Robinson’s connections, including his relationship with 22-year-old Lance Twiggs, who is transitioning from male to female and has been cooperating with the FBI.

The pair shared a modest $1,800-a-month townhouse in St. George, Utah, which was raided by law enforcement on Friday.

A neighbor, speaking on condition of anonymity to The New York Post, reported seeing several people driving vehicles with out-of-state license plates entering and exiting the home approximately two weeks before the shooting.

“They did not give off a good vibe,” the neighbor said.

According to a report from Axios late Saturday evening, citing six sources familiar with the case, “Federal and state law enforcement officials also are examining leftist groups in Utah to see whether they had knowledge of the alleged shooter’s plans beforehand, or if they lent material support to him afterward.”

The report states that one of the groups deleted their social media account after the shooting took place.

“It’s pretty clear that Robinson’s roommate knew a lot and didn’t say anything after the killing, so they’re a person of interest officially and are cooperating,” an official told the outlet. “We want to keep it that way.”

“What we want to know is if anyone else had knowledge [of the shooting], before or after,” that source added.

This witness’s comment and Axios report have fueled speculation about whether Robinson was part of a larger network, possibly radicalized by left-wing ideologies, particularly because multiple posts on social media from at least six people involved with the transgender community appeared to boast of advance knowledge of the crime.

The ‘Progressive’ Left – The ‘Democratic’ Party – Has Shown You Exactly Who They Are

When Andrew Breitbart died, someone I knew responded to my Facebook post about it with a nasty celebration of it. When I responded that he was actually a good friend of mine and told that person not only where they could go straight to, but what they could do to themselves on the way, I quickly received a phone call from them apologizing. They “hadn’t realized” that I was actually friends with him, as if that made them being a sociopathic asshole cheering someone’s death simply because they wouldn’t conform to the politics the “tolerant” left, somehow better. We’ve seen this again, but even more so, with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

I let it slide with Andrew, the guy was young and I’d never really experienced anything like that before, so I was forgiving and wrote it off as an anomaly. Plus, I think Andrew would’ve laughed at the idea that he was still exposing “tolerant leftists” for the intolerant pieces of garbage they are, even in death.

While Andrew being in a better place was a comfort, that never overrides the sadness of losing a friend. While I can’t say I was good friends with Charlie Kirk, there was very little daylight on policies between him, me and millions upon millions of Americans who mostly want to be lef alone by the vacuous left. But the nature of “progressivism” is to not leave anyone alone – it demands obedience, not only of actions but of thought.

We refuse to obey, we refuse to conform, and they killed Charlie for it.

Yes, the shooter pulled the trigger, but every MSNBC guest to called a conservative a fascist carved their letters into the bullet casing. Every elected and media Democrat who chose to dehumanize rather than debate, looked through that scope. Every single person on the left who knew better, who saw this coming but found the inciting rhetoric politically useful and easier than making an argument for their positions steadied that killer’s hand. They all did this because they knew this was down the road they were traveling and did nothing to stop it.

Elon Musk: ‘The Left Is the Party of Murder’

Tesla and SpaceX billionaire Elon Musk called the left “the party of murder” during a remote appearance he made at a giant freedom rally in London, England, on Saturday.

The comment was featured on the Elon Clips account on X on Sunday morning.

“…You see how much violence there’s on the left with our friend Charlie Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly, the left is the party of murder and celebrating murder,” Musk said in a conversation with British activist Tommy Robinson.

“Let that sink in for a minute,” Musk added. “That’s who we’re dealing with here. That is who we’re dealing with.”

The comments were made Saturday in an interview done remotely by a video link for the crowd at Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” rally and march, which drew more than 110,000 Brits protesting immigration and restrictions on free speech.

No Surprise! Kirk Shooter was a Liberal Motivated by Trans-Ideology

Shortly after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the media attacked President Trump for blaming the radical left. Outlets suggested the shooter might have been a disgruntled right-winger who thought Kirk wasn’t conservative enough, or even floated the absurd idea that it was an accident, a supporter firing a gun in celebration.

One prominent mainstream media article claimed, “Some have attempted to draw a link between Robinson and the far-right Groyper movement,” but provided no actual evidence for this connection. The claim that “Tyler apparently told police that he admired Nick Fuentes” appears in one source but remains disputed and unverified.

The dishonesty was staggering, echoing how the press had tried to portray the Trump shooter as a Trump supporter. Occam’s razor points to the simplest and most obvious explanation: the shooter hated conservatives, and in Kirk’s case, was a left-wing extremist with ties to trans ideology. Unsurprisingly, that turned out to be correct.

So far, the media has not apologized to Trump or to conservatives who correctly identified the shooter’s motives from the beginning.

Based on available evidence, Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, appears to have been motivated by left-wing, antifascist ideology. FBI sources confirmed that bullet casings were engraved with slogans tied to transgender and antifascist themes, including “Hey fascist! Catch!” a phrase echoing Antifa rhetoric and lyrics from Bella Ciao, the Italian antifascist anthem now co-opted by Antifa.

Robinson was living in a romantic relationship with a transgender boyfriend (male transitioning to female), and investigators believe his anger at Kirk stemmed in part from viewing Kirk’s positions on gender identity as “hateful” toward people like his partner. This relationship is seen as a key element in establishing motive.

Friends and family stated that although Robinson’s family was conservative, he had become increasingly political in recent years and expressed hatred for both Trump and Charlie Kirk. At a recent dinner, he even mentioned Kirk’s upcoming campus event. Taken together, the physical evidence on the ammunition, his personal relationships, and his stated opposition to Kirk’s conservative views, especially on transgender issue, point to a left-wing political assassination driven by antifascist and LGBTQ-related grievances.

The timing of the shooting was also strangely coincidental. Just moments before the attack, an audience member asked Kirk about transgender mass shooters: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” They followed up with, “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” Kirk replied, “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Moments later, he was assassinated.

Another odd detail centers on Robinson’s transgender roommate and partner. After the shooting, Robinson reportedly sent messages about hiding the weapon or retrieving it from a drop point. Investigators say the partner has been “extremely cooperative,” turning over messages that described leaving a rifle in a bush wrapped in a towel and watching the area where it was left.

Utah Governor Says Suspected Charlie Kirk Assassin Left Note, Has ‘Leftist Ideology’

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said the suspected assassin of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk left behind a note, and confirmed reports that the suspect held left-wing political views.

“Clearly a leftist ideology,” Cox told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Cox said the information obtained about the viewpoints of suspect Tyler Robinson “comes from the people around him, his family members and friends.”

Cox also confirmed that the suspect may have left behind a note but said that those “are things that are still being processed for accuracy and verification and will be included in charging documents.”

The governor said the suspect’s partner is transgender, which some officials have pointed to as a sign that Robinson was targeting Kirk for his political views. Authorities have not publicly said whether it is relevant as they investigate Robinson’s motive.

Cox told CNN that Robinson’s roommate and “romantic partner” is “a male transitioning to female.”

“I can say that he has been incredibly cooperative, this partner has been very cooperative, had no idea that this was happening,” he said, referring to the roommate.

Cox also told NBC News that Robinson, 22, became more radical after he dropped out of Utah State University.

“It seemed to happen kind of after that—after he moved back to the southern part of Utah,” he told NBC News. “Clearly, there was a lot of gaming going on, friends that have confirmed that there was kind of that deep, dark internet, Reddit culture and these other dark places of the internet where this person was going deep. You saw that on the casings … the memeification that is happening in our society today.”

Robinson, Cox told NBC, is not cooperating with authorities. However, they have obtained information from friends, acquaintances, and family members.

Last week, Cox said in a news conference that the suspect had engraved messages on bullets, including anti-fascist messages and one that appeared to make a trolling reference to the “furry” subculture. One message also appeared to be a reference to a move used in the video game “Helldivers 2.”

Evil Dem Connected to Virginia Gubernatorial Nominee Says Charlie Kirk Deserved to Die

Charlie Kirk, one of the most prominent conservative voices in America, was assassinated on September 10 while delivering a speech to students. 

He was a husband, a young father, and the founder of the largest conservative student organization in the nation. 

His murder should have been met with silence, mourning, or at the very least human decency. Instead, it was met with cruelty.

Only days after Kirk’s assassination, Jasmine Frye—a staffer tied to Virginia’s Democrat gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger—took to social media to celebrate his death. 

“F around and find out,” she wrote. “His entire brand was hate and violence. You attract what you preach.” 

These are not the words of an anonymous agitator. Frye works inside Virginia politics, a state with national attention and one of the most competitive races in the country. 

Spanberger is campaigning to govern more than 8.5 million people. 

Yet her campaign has not condemned Frye’s remarks. Not a single word of disavowal. And in a moment like this, silence is not neutrality—it is complicity.

The claim that Kirk somehow “attracted” violence is false. 

He was targeted for doing what he had done thousands of times before: speaking to young people on a college campus. 

He was killed because he gave students an alternative to progressive ideology. 

His so-called “brand,” as Frye dismissively labeled it, was built on empowering students, defending constitutional freedoms, and challenging institutional leftism. To suggest that such work makes someone deserving of assassination is to endorse political violence.

This is not an isolated case. We are watching a pattern develop where left-wing activists and even political staffers openly justify violence if the victims are conservative.
