"Some hate can't be negotiated out, Robinson said to his partner of Kirk, who was killed during an event at Utah Valley University (UVU) within moments of asserting that too many people who are trans had committed mass shootings in the US. Prosecutors allege that, after Robinson's arrest in Kirk's killing, his mother told investigators that her son had spent the previous year or so becoming more political and had started to lean more to the left becoming more pro-gay and trans rights oriented."
"Prior media reporting established that Robinson's parents were registered Republican voters who cast ballots in the 2024 election that resulted in a second presidency for Donald Trump, with whom Kirk was closely aligned. Prosecutors said a text from Robinson to his roommate showed the suspect perceived his father to be pretty diehard maga referring to Trump's make America great again slogan ever since the president retook the Oval Office in January."
Seized texts show Robinson told his partner that some hate can't be negotiated out and expressed frustration with Kirk's anti-trans statements. Kirk asserted at a UVU event that too many trans people had committed mass shootings, though the Gun Violence Archive reports about 0.1% of such shootings involved people who are trans. Prosecutors allege Robinson became more political and more supportive of gay and trans rights over the previous year, and that his relationship with a transitioning roommate intensified family disputes, especially with his father. Robinson's parents were registered Republicans who voted in the 2024 election; Robinson described his father as pretty diehard MAGA.
