The mother of the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk has revealed details about her son.

In a statement to authorities, the mother of Tyler Robinson has shared that her son spent the last year being more political and began to support pro-trans rights issues.

She also shared that Tyler and his father, a Trump supporter, argued over their political views.

Fox News provided the following details about Robinson’s mother’s remarks:

Tyler Robinson’s mother told investigators she had watched her son change dramatically in the year leading up to the Utah college shooting of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

Once a college scholarship recipient with a promising future, Robinson had “become more political,” leaning left and supporting “pro-gay and trans rights,” his mother said, according to court documents.

She also recounted heated arguments between Robinson and his father, who held sharply different views and regularly sparred over their competing ideologies.

At one point, she told police, her son dismissed Kirk’s Utah Valley University (UVU) event as a “stupid” venue and claimed Kirk “spreads too much hate.”

People reported it was Robinson’s mother who first recognized him in the FBI’s photos released to the public:

Gray shared further details of the investigation at the briefing, claiming that before Robinson’s father helped turn him in, it was his mother who had the initial suspicion that the person wanted for Kirk’s shooting was Robinson.

On Sept. 11, Robinson’s mother, who was not publicly named, saw photos released of the suspect and thought it might be her son, Gray said at Tuesday’s press briefing.

When she called Robinson to check on him, he allegedly said he was at home sick, and had been at home sick the previous day as well.

The mother then told Robinson’s father that she was concerned the suspect looked like Robinson, and his father agreed, per Gray.

Robinson’s mother told investigators that over the past year, he had grown increasingly more political, with his views at odds with those of his family members, especially his father.

Robinson had made statements that his father was a “pretty die hard MAGA” since President Donald Trump was elected to office, Gray said.

Gray also read out text exchanges between Robinson and his roommate, who is not charged in connection with the shooting.

Asked why he murdered the right-wing activist, Robinson allegedly replied “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”

Robinson allegedly told his roommate that he had planned the shooting for “a bit over a week.”
