The governor of Utah says Charlie Kirk’s assassination suspect is “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology.” Republican Spencer Cox told CNN’s “State of the Union” that’s been learned through interviews involving Tyler Robinson’s family and friends.
Cox added he can confirm the 22-year-old Robinson’s live-in romantic partner is a male transitioning to become a female, who is cooperating with police.
Cox said investigators are working to try and determine Robinson’s motive for murdering Kirk, the conservative activist who was killed by a single gunshot while speaking during a college event in Utah.
Robinson is set to be arraigned on state murder charges on Tuesday, and is also expected to be charged federally at some point.
