Utah Gov. Spencer Cox says investigators have confirmed that Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of murdering Charlie Kirk, was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.”
The comments came during a press conference Friday and in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Tyler Robinson Background
Robinson grew up in Washington, Utah, and briefly attended a Mormon church.
He earned top scores in high school and won a scholarship to Utah State University.
He attended for one semester before dropping out.
Robinson’s parents, Matt and Amber, are registered Republicans.
Neighbors described the family as “quiet” and “very good people.”
“I didn’t think he would have done this,” one neighbor said.
His Left Radicalization
Cox said Robinson’s left-leaning ideology became “very clear” during the investigation.
Friends from high school recalled him frequently arguing about politics.
