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.

FBI tried to hide trans identity of Charlie Kirk suspect’s lover after his chilling four-word response to investigators

The FBI tried keeping the gender identity of the trans partner of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer a secret because he had been ‘extremely cooperative’ with authorities. 

Sources familiar with the case said that Lance Twiggs was ‘aghast’ when confronted by investigators over his lover’s alleged assassination plot, saying: ‘Oh my God, no.’

Investigators are looking into whether Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, was motivated by his belief that the conservative activist’s views on transgender people were hateful. 

After asking investigators if ‘that’s what happened’, a horrified Twiggs agreed to cooperate and said ‘here are all the messages’, according to Axios.

Discord messages sent by the alleged killer, who was listed as ‘Tyler’, reportedly mentioned how he had wrapped his rifle in a towel and stashed it in some bushes near Utah Valley University, where Kirk was shot. 

The sender also said that the rifle would have to be retrieved, Utah governor Spencer Cox said during a news conference. 

An affidavit that detailed the Discord conversation also mentioned that Robinson had talked about changing outfits after the shooting.  

The messages helped investigators find and arrest Robinson for the assassination, and they gave evidence for prosecutors to seek an aggravated murder charge against the alleged killer, which is the only charge in Utah that carries the death penalty.

Charlie Kirk’s Assassin May Be Part of a Larger Left-Wing Terror Effort

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there was a sigh of relief when the suspected shooter finally got caught. But now, according to reports, investigators are looking into whether this was more than just a radicalized young man with a gun and perhaps part of a bigger conspiracy.

While the alleged shooter, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, sits in custody, the FBI’s probe is beginning to suggest that this was no simple case of a disturbed individual snapping. What’s emerging looks far more deliberate, disturbingly organized, and rooted in the leftist networks that have turned political violence into a feature of modern activism.

According to a report from the New York Post, investigators are digging deeper than just the accused shooter; they’re looking at potential ties to radical leftist groups. The probe is targeting both local outfits in Utah and online networks, including users on the gaming platform Steam.

One organization in particular, Armed Queers SLC, is drawing attention after it suddenly pulled its Instagram account following Kirk’s assassination. Officials now want to know: Was this group merely cheering from the sidelines, or did it know more than it’s letting on?

Meanwhile, a slew of disturbing — though as yet unverified — social media posts about Kirk are raising questions about whether some people online may have known about the assassination before it happened on Sept. 10.

Taken together, they leave a trail of breadcrumbs for investigators who are trying to determine whether Robinson acted all on his own, or had accomplices.

Utah group Armed Queens SLC, whose logo features two high-powered rifle rounds similar to the one that struck Kirk, hosted a lecture on “queer resistance” at the University of Utah in September, 2023 — around 45 miles from Utah Valley University where the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally lost his life.

Young America’s Foundation obtained flyers advertising the event, which was hosted in partnership with Mecha de U of U, a group that openly brands itself as a “leftist student organization.” The imagery is straight out of a revolutionary playbook: a young woman in ammo belts holding an AK-47, finger poised on the trigger, framed by a hammer and sickle and a rainbow flag. Across the bottom, the words “agitate, educate, organize” drive home the radical message.

Armed Queers group trains radical Marxists to shoot just miles from where Charlie Kirk was murdered

Amid the snow-capped mountains and Mormon churches of Utah, not far from where FBI agents continue to scour for more evidence in Charlie Kirk’s assassination, a self-described armed revolutionary group openly aligned with Cuba has risen up on the streets of one of America’s most conservative states.

Armed Queers SLC says its mission is to train gay, queer and transgender people to arm themselves and to fight against capitalism. Although their purported Facebook page does not directly appear to encourage the use of firearms in their claimed mission, many of the images used depict firearms. As recently as this spring, its members traveled to Cuba for a meeting to celebrate the May Day holiday and participate in a march and events alongside revolutionaries from around the world.

The group posted photos on its public Instagram account—which was deleted on Friday—of its young students attending, and its leaders openly discussed how the communist regime agenda and this American group’s agenda were aligned in a YouTube video after the visit to Havana. The video has been scrubbed and is not available in any web archive, but Just the News took a careful transcription of the discussion prior to its deletion.

Two leaders of Armed Queers — Ermyia Fanaeian and a man who called himself “Connor” — discussed their trip to Cuba in a since-deleted May video titled, “Cuba Report Back: Our Time as 2025 May Day Brigadistas.” A search by Just the News could not positively identify him.

What’s Going on in Utah? Another Trans Killer Mia Bailey Slayed Parents Last Year and Was Arrested in St. George — Just Minutes from Charlie Kirk Assassin Tyler Robinson’s Home with Trans Boyfriend

In a shocking coincidence, transgender double-murderer Mia Bailey lived in Washington City and was arrested in nearby St. George, just minutes away from the residence shared by Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of assassinating conservative icon Charlie Kirk, and his transgender partner, Lance Twiggs.

Robinson’s parents and Bailey’s parents both lived in Washington, Utah, approximately 5 minutes apart, in a small town of 27,993 people as of 2020.

After murdering his parents, Bailey was arrested in St. George, just minutes from the Fossil Hills Townhomes community where Robinson and Twiggs lived together.

While no direct connection between the cases has been established, it does raise questions about the radicalization of the transgender community in the area.

Mia Bailey, 28, born Collin Troy Bailey, identifies as transgender and has confessed to fatally shooting his parents, Joseph and Gail Bailey, in their Washington City home at 1039 E. Chinook Drive, St. George, on June 18, 2024.

According to police reports, Bailey allegedly entered the residence armed with a handgun and fired multiple rounds, killing his parents in what prosecutors describe as a premeditated attack. He also fired shots at his brother and his wife through a locked bedroom door, though they escaped injury.

Court documents in the case say Mia told investigators he feels “no remorse for her actions and that she would not change what she had done. Mia stated ‘I would do it again. I hate them.'”

Following the shootings, Bailey fled the scene, prompting a 12-hour manhunt. He was apprehended the next morning, June 19, 2024, near the Mormon temple in St. George after being cornered by law enforcement.

Bailey faces charges including two counts of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, aggravated burglary, and multiple counts of discharging a firearm causing serious injury.

In a later incident while in custody, Bailey was accused of assaulting two correctional officers in October 2024.

As The Gateway Pundit has previously reported, social media posts from at least six social media users appear to foreshadow the shooting, suggesting Kirk’s death was no lone-wolf act but potentially part of a planned operation within radical transgender circles.

Neighbors reported suspicious out-of-state visitors to Robinson’s home in the weeks leading up to the shooting, describing them as giving off a “bad vibe,” further fueling speculation of external coordination.

Investigators are now looking into leftist groups both in Utah and online to determine if they aided in the assassination or had knowledge of the plan.

Who are Armed Queers Salt Lake City? Utah-Based Trans Militia Group Under Scrutiny After Deleting Social Media Account on Day of Charlie Kirk Killing

Authorities probing the September 10 assassination of activist Charlie Kirk are reviewing online activity and several left-leaning groups in Utah after at least one organization removed its social-media presence in the immediate aftermath of the killing, sources say.

Among the organizations under review is Armed Queers Salt Lake City (Armed Queers SLC), a Utah-based group that has described itself publicly as training and organizing LGBTQ+ people to defend their communities.

According to archived materials and reporting, the group promoted events in 2023 that featured imagery and rhetoric aligned with radical protest and self-defense themes; a flyer for a September 2023 lecture at the University of Utah included graphic elements such as a rainbow flag, a hammer-and-sickle motif and imagery of ammunition.

In a past interview, a group representative said the organization’s activism was grounded in opposition to racism, transphobia and capitalism and accepted personal risk in service of that mission.

Sources with knowledge of the investigation told investigators that Armed Queers SLC took down at least one social media account on the day of Kirk’s death.

Law-enforcement officials are reviewing whether any individuals or networks connected to the group — or to other online communities, including gaming platforms and social pages — had prior knowledge of or provided material support for the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson.

Federal and state authorities are assisting local investigators in those inquiries.

Investigators have also collected and catalogued a number of social-media posts and accounts that appear to reference Kirk in the days immediately preceding the shooting.

Several of those posts have since been deleted or made private, and investigators are attempting to verify the provenance and authenticity of archived screenshots and reposts being circulated online.

Law-enforcement sources caution that while some social-media material appears ominous, much of it remains unverified and may reflect hyperbolic or copy-and-paste commentary rather than credible threats or direct knowledge of criminal intent.

The probe is also examining potential personal motives.

Investigation into Charlie Kirk Assassination Widens to Probe Radical Pro-Trans Online Groups, Including on Steam

The investigation into the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has expanded to scrutinize pro-trans online communities, including the Steam group that The Gateway Pundit reported on early Sunday morning, to determine if others were aware of or involved with the plan to kill the conservative icon.

As TGP reported, Robinson appears to have been a member of a bizarre Steam group named “Read This If Your Gay,” a title that eerily mirrors the mocking inscription “If you read this, you are gay LMAO,” which was etched on a bullet casing at the crime scene.

The New York Post reports:

Law enforcement sources said that investigators are examining leftist groups both in Utah and online to figure out if they helped him with the shooting — or at least heard it was going to happen.

The probe includes groups in online gaming community Steam, as well as a pro-trans organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram after Kirk was killed, the source confirmed.

Steam is a video game platform that lets you play, discuss, and create games on your computer.

Incredibly, members of the group were issued a frantic warning to switch to encrypted chats just hours after the fatal shooting but before Robinson’s arrest, indicating that they may have had information about the shooter.

BOMBSHELL: Accused Charlie Kirk Assassin Appears to Have Been in Steam Group Called ‘Read This If Your Gay,’ Echoing Message on Bullet Casing, Members Urged Encrypted Cover-Up of Chats RIGHT AFTER Shooting

Alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson appears to have been a member of a bizarre Steam group named “Read This If Your Gay,” a title that eerily mirrors the mocking inscription “If you read this, you are gay LMAO,” which was etched on a bullet casing at the crime scene.

Steam is a video game platform that lets you play, discuss, and create games on your computer.

The group’s profile featured cartoonish imagery, including anime-style characters, underscoring the meme-driven world in which Robinson and his associates seem to have operated.

Incredibly, members of the group were issued a frantic warning to switch to encrypted chats just hours after the fatal shooting but before Robinson’s arrest, indicating that they may have had information about the shooter.

A cryptic announcement was posted in the group on September 10 at 11:24 PM, mere hours after Kirk’s shooting, but crucially before Robinson’s arrest.

Penned by a user named “CHERRY SYLVEON,” the message warned: “be careful over sh-t you say online end to end encryption messaging platforms like signal exists for a reason or just use PGP and yes, this is directly referencing a very specific thing that happened.”

FBI Reportedly Attempted to Hide the Identity of Charlie Kirk Assassination Suspect’s Transgender Boyfriend

The FBI reportedly tried to hide the identity of the transgender boyfriend of the suspect in the brutal assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, 22-year-old Lance Twiggs.

A relative has described Twiggs as “full of evil and hatred.” His own Reddit post described being thrown out of his family home as a minor because they believed he was demonic.

The Daily Mail reports:

The FBI tried keeping the gender identity of the trans partner of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer a secret because he had been ‘extremely cooperative’ with authorities.

Sources familiar with the case said that Lance Twiggs was ‘aghast’ when confronted by investigators over his lover’s alleged assassination plot, saying: ‘Oh my God, no.’

Investigators are looking into whether Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, was motivated by his belief that the conservative activist’s views on transgender people were hateful.

After asking investigators if ‘that’s what happened’, a horrified Twiggs agreed to cooperate and said ‘here are all the messages’, according to Axios.

Discord messages sent by the alleged killer, who was listed as ‘Tyler’, reportedly mentioned how he had wrapped his rifle in a towel and stashed it in some bushes near Utah Valley University, where Kirk was shot.

It appears as though a large number of people in fringe online transgender communities knew about the plot in advance.

Neighbors reported suspicious out-of-state visitors to Robinson’s home in the weeks leading up to the shooting, describing them as giving off a “bad vibe,” further fueling speculation of external coordination.

Robinson faces charges including aggravated murder, discharge of a firearm causing serious injury, and obstruction of justice, and could face Utah’s death penalty by firing squad if convicted.

Democrat judge in America’s ‘Muslim capital’ BANS gay pride flags after Islamic outrage

A federal judge has upheld a ban on gay pride flags after a years-long battle by an all-Muslim city council to remove the rainbow because it did not reflect their community’s values.

The court found that Hamtramck, an enclave surrounded by Detroit with a significant Muslim immigrant population, did not violate the US Constitution when it banned the flag from public buildings in 2023.

After a pride flag was flown in the city during Pride Month in 2021 and 2022, the city council said it clashed with the beliefs of some residents, so they voted to allow only five flags to be flown on publicly-owned property. 

US District Judge David Lawson, who was appointed by Bill Clinton, dismissed a lawsuit that was brought against the city for its flag restrictions, saying the ban was okay because the policy targeted all private flags. 

‘Hamtramck’s refusal to display the Gay Pride flag did not violate the Constitution,’ the judge said. 

Hamtramck has a population of around 27,000, and more than 40% of its residents are immigrants. A large proportion of them are Muslim with Yemeni or Bangladeshi descent. 

The city is right next to Dearborn, a larger enclave city in the Detroit area that the Wall Street Journal once called ‘America’s Jihad Capital’ in a piece that claimed the city’s leadership supported Hamas and Hezbollah. The publication was widely criticized for the moniker. 

The Hamtramck flag ban restricted public property to only display the American flag, Michigan flag, city flag and flags that represent the ‘international character’ of the city’s population. 

Businesses and residents are still allowed to fly whatever they want on private property.
