The Republican governor added that Robinson is not cooperating with officials, but his roommate is. Cox described how the individual, whom he said was in a romantic relationship with Robinson, was “shocked” by the shooting and did not have any advanced knowledge of the attack.
There is “not a solid understanding” whether there was a connection between the gender identity of the roommate, whom Cox described as transitioning from male to female, and Robinson’s alleged shooting of Kirk, a conservative Christian who denied the legitimacy of transgender people, according to Cox.
In the wake of the shooting, allegations that Robinson’s roommate or partner is transgender prompted some in the MAGA movement to repeat the false, debunked claim that trans people are more likely to carry out gun violence.
Investigators are probing whether Robinson considered Kirk’s views on trans people to be “hateful,” Axios reports, as well as whether any local leftist groups knew of or assisted in the shooting plot.

Robinson is being “uncooperative”, i.e. he’s not feeding them a story to fit their agenda.
It’s pathetic how much the alt-right want to make this about trans people.
So we’re back to the “leftism is when rightism” arguments. No surprise there.
As we all said at the start of this, no matter who the shooter is or what their reasons are, the right will make it the left’s fault. The “left” — not that they could provide any definition for it — is a scary, violent boogeyman out to get them and take everything they enjoy away from them. Anything can be the left, so long as it instill fear and fosters violence toward the out groups.
No body but milqtoast Republicans and maga believe this horseshit
Groyper killed Kirk over Epstein and they’re trying to frame the Nick Fuentes fan as “on the left”. Just meet this bullshit with Fuentes every time.
More bullshit from the political party that supports child rapists
The only source on this is the guy who’s been publicly wrong twice already on this one subject. They’re just lying again so they can go back to threatening the left without feeling like the twats they are
The wording is also extremely suspicious. “We can confirm that, again, according to family and people that we’ve interviewed, he does come from [a conservative family], but his ideology was very different than his family,”
They don’t specifically say he’s on the left, just that his ideology is very different. I think if they even thought he is on the left they’d say it clearly.
Does he actually say that the shooter was on the left or is this just the media making the assumption based on the comment that his ideology was very different from his families’?
This drivel turns my nose.
Back to blaming the left I see.
someone got a phone call from the white house lol
Yep, and trans folks. The fact that their suspect’s partner’s full name and picture are being published by conservative ragebait sites today is extremely worrying.
That wasn’t his partner, that was a dude who rented out a room to Tyler and took a selfie in a kigurumi.
This governor keeps flipflopping on
Don’t listen to unsubstantiated rumors
When it looks bad for maga, but is the absolute first in line with a megaphone anytime he can blame “the left”.
Literally days ago he wouldn’t shut up about how no one should pay attention to anything until it’s confirmed after previously repeating false claims.
100%. The CNN title for the interview where he said some of this stuff (which I would have posted but it’s just video with no article) is “Pressed by CNN, Gov. Cox declines to give detail on ‘leftist ideology’ claims in Kirk shooting” (arc).
I’m not going to link to them, but there are a bunch of dogshit conservative news sites putting the roommate’s name out there and misgendering her, because of course they are
