'He wasn't raised that way': Tyler Robinson's relative says he hated conservatives, blames trans roommate

ST GEORGE, UTAH: A new and chilling detail has emerged in the case of Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer Tyler Robinson.

A relative of Robinson told Fox News Digital that the 22-year-old suspect was radicalized and started hating 'conservatives and Christians' allegedly under the influence of his transgender roommate.

The roommate, who has not been publicly identified and has not been charged, was reportedly in a romantic relationship with Robinson at the time of the killing.

This revelation adds to a growing list of unsettling reports surrounding the man accused of murdering the Turning Point USA founder.

What did Tyler Robinson’s relative reveal?

The woman who spoke to Fox News Digital on condition of anonymity said her relative, Tyler Robinson, began to change noticeably after turning 18.

According to her, he developed a growing resentment toward Christians and conservatives.

“He hates conservatives and Christians,” she said. “He hated us. He was not raised that way, but he, over the years, has become really detached [and] been radicalized."

She noted that his behavior had noticeably worsened in the past year or two, describing him as “always very angry.” The relative believes Robinson’s political views were heavily influenced by his romantic partner over the past year.

“I think Tyler got a whole lot worse in the year they have been dating. They are big [video] gamers, and obviously they have that group that influences them as well as others. But my gut tells me [the roommate] did more of the influencing,” she said.

The woman emphasized that her family wants no connection to the incident. “Everybody in my family wants justice to be served and wants no part in this and wants whoever is involved in whatever way to have to pay for that,” she added.

An FBI official stated that Robinson’s roommate has been “extremely cooperative” during the investigation and claimed he “had no idea” about Robinson’s alleged plan to kill Charlie Kirk.

Robinson lived with his roommate in an apartment in St George, Utah, a city where both of their families also live. A law enforcement source previously revealed that Robinson’s father identified him in surveillance footage released by the FBI and personally turned him in to authorities.

Internet reacts to relative’s remarks on Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer’s roommate

Exclusive information about Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer quickly went viral on social media, with thousands of users sharing and commenting online.

One user wrote, "No deals. No deals for anyone in exchange for their cooperation. If he knew, he needs to be prosecuted. No deals, no leniency… make examples of them. They deserve as much mercy that was extended to Charlie and his family."

One individual explained, "One of the biggest differences between Charlie Kirk and his critics was that Charlie asked people to love others, even those you might disagree with...and he embodied that every day as he always chose to respond to hate with love and reason during his events." 

A commenter shared, "There’s no way the partner didn't know. Especially since the partner is the influencer."

A person declared, "Getting radicalized is not a disease you catch. Not if it's right or left wing or Islamic radicalization. It's choices one makes toward a particular ideology and they are accountable for those choices. No excuses for bad behavior or evil." A comment read, "I don't buy it. His partner knew all about his plans and most likely encouraged it!" 

An internet user wrote, "This isn’t radicalization, it  isn’t mental illness that this world wants to blame it on. It’s pure EVIL at its core. God did not shield Charlie Kirk from being killed by evil; he let it happen because of the greater purpose that will come from it. Charlie is with God now and has served him well. Watch what comes from it. God knows best." 

A social media user speculated, "I suspect when the room mate finishes being "helpful", he will be charged as an accessory. There are likely text messages between them which will be discovered."
