Charlie Kirk's killer's family shocks conservatives: At home,
Tyler Robinson

Trump media and the theory that Tyler Robinson is leftist: " He lived with a transgender person." But then a connection to white supremacists emerges. The radical right is in trouble.

Anna Lombardi- La Repubblica

The murder of prominent American conservative activist Charles Kirk has sparked a heated debate in the United States, where the identity and motives of the suspected perpetrator, Tyler Robinson, still remain unclear and filled with contradictions.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox, a moderate Republican, openly expressed his disappointment: “ I was praying the killer would come from another state. I was thinking to myself, ‘We’re not like that.’ But it turned out to be one of us!”

"We are all MAGA"

Initially, Robinson was rumored to be a left-wing militant of “antifa,” an informal anti-fascist political movement, due to his unconventional messages. The American right immediately seized the opportunity to attack the radical left.

But a few days later, the British tabloid Daily Mail published the testimony of his grandmother, Debbie, who said that Robinson's family is pro-Trump:

"In our family we are all MAGA. We don't know any Democrats!"

She described her grandson as "a quiet boy, with no interest in politics," who received his first gun as a gift from his parents when he was a child.

Living with a transgender partner and FBI leads

Meanwhile, the New York Post and Fox News reported that Robinson was living with a transgender partner in the city of Saint George, Utah.

The FBI seized computers in the apartment and confirmed that the partner is cooperating with investigators. For conservatives, this detail has been used to portray him as “a man lost in the crisis surrounding sexual orientation.”

Suspicions of links to supremacists

Newsweek has suggested another lead: Robinson may have been connected to the circle of right-wing extremist Nick Fuentes, leader of the alt-right faction "Groyper."

A Halloween photo of him imitating the group's symbols was taken as evidence. However, Fuentes has vehemently denied it, blaming "the left, who he says are slandering him to attack him."

Bullet points, internet codes

The mystery was further deepened by messages carved into the bullets, including phrases like “Hey Fascist! Catch!” and “Bella Ciao.” Initially, they were interpreted as leftist slogans.

But according to an analysis by Wired USA, they are actually references to video games and online culture, where meanings are constantly changing.

"Bella Ciao", for example, has also been used by far-right forums, thanks to its popularity in the series La Casa de Papel.

An increasingly unclear profile

In this whirlwind of contradictory versions, the right has begun to retreat from its initial extreme reactions.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who immediately after the murder called for the death penalty for Robinson, now says:

"Charles Kirk would have prayed for the soul of this lost man. We should too!"

The investigation is ongoing, but one thing is clear: the murder of Charles Kirk has not only opened a major political wound, but has also highlighted the chaos of new identities that are formed in the intersection of ideology, weapons, and internet culture.
