Tyler Robinson dating a tranny? I'm predicting it's another BS rumor soon to be retracted

Many media outlets running with this now. The WaPo already ran with that absolutely bull crap story about pro-trans messages on the bullets, that were actually 4chan and video game memes.

First, we already know he was turned in by his dad and his pastor. What kind of guy dating a tranny is still going to mormon youth group? Two, Discord already came out and said that none of his messages were related to the shooting in any way. The right wing media is a disgrace. I'll eat crow if this turns out to be true.

Yeah it seems like something Nancy Mace made up.

It sounds like bullshit.

MAGA was desperate for the shooter to be black, trans, Democrat, an immigrant etc etc... but when it turned out he was a white, American mormon it sent them into a tailspin.

This story sounds like a hamfisted attempt to tie him to something they hate. They can't say he's trans himself, so they've gone for "he dated a trans!"

Fake news.

[quote]The “trans” roommate of Tyler James Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, has been identified as 22-year-old Lance Twiggs of St. George, Utah — and is cooperating with federal investigators.

Sounds true. We'll see.

Didn't his dad turned him in?

Whoever his roommate turns out to be, he sounds like a good person because he quickly cooperated and helped police solve this.

So a roommate and not a partner. And not an accomplice.

I guess MAGA is gonna have to try something else.

Nancy Mace must be livid.

The source Yahoo quoted above was Fox News, which seems like the only outlet reporting it, so who knows. Here's what they wrote:

[quote]Bureau officials confirmed that Tyler Robinson, 22, was in a "romantic relationship" with the unnamed person, who is a male transitioning to a female, and that they shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah. Those FBI officials told Fox News Digital that Robinson's partner is fully cooperating with the FBI's investigation.

Do we know that person's pronouns yet?

It doesn’t matter if the roommate stayed in her room the entire time, she will have somehow poisoned the mind of one of their boys and made him an evil killer.

by Anonymousreply 10September 13, 2025 11:42 PM

I think the roommate is innocent of being part of the murder planning, since they are cooperating so readily. However, it's possible that Tyler's love for his transexual special friend may be one of his motivations. We'll have to wait to see.

From Axios:

[quote]Each of the six sources familiar with the investigation told Axios that investigators believe Robinson had a romantic relationship with his roommate.

[quote]Zoom in: Axios' sources said investigators initially wanted the information about the roommate's gender identity kept quiet because that person is being "extremely cooperative" with authorities.

{quote]The roommate was "aghast" at the slaying when speaking to investigators and shared electronic messages sent by Robinson, one of the sources said. "That's what happened? Oh my God, no," the roommate said, according to the source. "Here are all the messages."

Probably bullshit. Legacy media doesn't understand internet meme culture, and this guy seems like he was terminally online.

by Anonymousreply 14September 13, 2025 11:57 PM

I certainly hope this is bullshit. Otherwise the Right will have a wet dream with getting their trans connection.

by Anonymousreply 15September 14, 2025 12:38 AM

It explains why someone with a conservative Mormon upbringing would find the things Kirk espoused objectionable. Life experiences can change the way you view the world.

(doesn't justify murdering someone - obviously)

I'm not buying the gay or trans roommate connection or that they had a relationship. Will have to see more hard information on that, which I'm sure is forthcoming at some point.

At this early point, the 4chan and gamer messages point to a hard right leaning. Seems like a confused young man who recently dropped out of college, had to move home to his hometown in the country and didn't have much direction. Gaming seemed to be his refuge. Those types aren't the lefty progressive types.

A relative says they were dating, that the trans moll was hostile to his family for their conservative Christian views. To me it seems clear as day that the shooter is a lefty, unless he's a trans sympathetic Groyper or something. Classmates said he was a Reddit kid, Furry and Antifa references on the casings, he shot Kirk right as he was answering a question about trans shooters. People who were following the trans roommate posted about Kirk's impending debate and that something big was going to happen.

Can you do better than linking to a far-right Midwestern blog r18? That's not exactly a real news source there.

by Anonymousreply 19September 14, 2025 1:18 AM

This is tangential, but I thought it was interesting and I didn't know what thread to put it in:
