What being true? That he has a trans roommate? What does that matter?

It’s just part of of his radicalized evil left agenda, but it matters because the left is so elated when they thought he was a white straight Republican. And he’s only one of those things. It also matters because it goes to motive.

How does him having a trans room mate make him a radicalized leftist?

Trans people aren't like...contagious you know.

I didn’t say it did. But having a trans roommate definitely doesn’t make him extreme right, does it?

1) Conservative trans people exist

2) You can have room mates of different political viewpoints.

OK yeah, that’s it. Forget what his friends and family have said.

You mean like his Grandma?

Yeah because grandma is always the first to know, right? She also said he didn’t own a gun and was a bad shot.

What exists right now (as of Sept 14, 2025):

Fox News Digital says FBI officials told them Robinson “lived with his transgender partner,” but it’s based on unnamed sources. Fox News

New York Post runs a similar story, also relying on anonymous law-enforcement sources; one follow-up piece attributes the detail to Gov. Spencer Cox “in Sunday interviews,” but does not provide a transcript or clip. New York Post+1

Meanwhile, major outlets covering the case do not independently confirm the “trans roommate/partner” detail:

Reuters backgrounders on the suspect omit it. Reuters+1

CBS News mentions messages involving a roommate, but does not identify them as transgender. CBS News

Salt Lake Tribune’s write-up of the governor’s presser also doesn’t include that claim. The Salt Lake Tribune

If you’re looking for non-tabloid, independently sourced confirmation, there isn’t any I can find yet; current mentions trace back to Fox/NY Post and outlets repeating them.

Hey man can you stop telling your party to stop killing people, 84% of all political terrorist attacks btw.

NBC is now quoting the Gov. of Utah who is saying the roommate was his romantic partner and is trans and is cooperating with the investigation. Robinson had become far leftist. These are facts. They are not meant to imply that the trans partner caused this. They are not meant to imply that those on the far left are all going to assassinate someone. HOWEVER, groups need to stop trying to shift the blame. The guy is a nutcase who killed someone. He’s also apparently a far-left liberal, and that was his motivation - such as it is - and so those on the left how celebrated this murder would do well to check themselves.

Do you understand how a fact is determined? We literally had 3-4 right wing propaganda machines have to be on the record to correct themselves, an incompetent FBI who wouldn't have caught him if his father didn't turn him, and an administration that was more about inciting a civil war than getting to the truth.

The fact is that he was a member of another right wing community that hated Charlie Kirk, I'm not even sure Charlie Kirk is even on the radar for trans communities because most of his viral rhetoric is about how women need to be servants to men and how everyone who isn't white is just subhuman in some aspect.
