In an interview with NBC News's Meet the Press on Sunday, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said the arrested suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, had a leftist ideology despite growing up in a conservative family."

According to public records, Robinson registered as a nonpartisan voter in Utah, while his parents are registered Republicans. In a separate interview with CNN's State of the Union, Cox said the information about Robinson's left-wing views had come from interviews with family members and friends."
