"'There clearly was a leftist ideology,' Cox said on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' citing interviews with Robinson's relatives and acquaintances. 'Friends have confirmed that there was kind of that deep, dark internet, the Reddit culture, and these other dark places of the internet where this person was going deep.' He pointed to references found engraved on the ammunition used to kill Kirk, which included anti-fascist and meme-culture language."
"Court records show that one bullet casing had the message, 'Hey, fascist! Catch!' A Republican who has called on all partisans to tone down their rhetoric following the attack, the governor added: 'I really don't have a dog in this fight. If this was a radicalized MAGA person, I'd be saying that as well.' Cox stressed on several Sunday morning news shows that investigators are still trying to pin down a motive."
Tyler Robinson, 22, is accused of fatally shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk while Kirk was on a college speaking tour. Family and friends described Robinson's politics as veering left and said he spent extensive time in dark corners of the internet, including Reddit subcultures, where he may have been radicalized. Robinson is not cooperating with law enforcement and reportedly disliked Kirk. Engravings on the ammunition included anti-fascist and meme-culture language, and one casing read, 'Hey, fascist! Catch!' Investigators continue to piece together information and are working to determine a motive ahead of a court appearance.
