"It is true that he is in a romantic relationship with his transitioning roommate. That is stated explicitly in the charging documents, and Robinson calls the roommate, "love." I am still ok my love, [snip] you are all I worry about love Here's what Robinson told the roommate (and his parents) about his motive: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out."
"Contrary to what the Mormon governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, has said, there's not much in the information filed against Tyler Robinson that substantiates his claim that Tyler Robinson is a lefty. Unless there's more evidence of partisanship elsewhere, he seems to have coded Robinson's sexuality onto political partisanship. It is true that he is in a romantic relationship with his transitioning roommate."
Charging documents provide little substantiation that Tyler Robinson is politically left-leaning. The documents state Robinson is romantically involved with his transitioning roommate and refers to that person as "love." Robinson told the roommate and his parents that he acted because he "had enough of his hatred" and that "some hate can't be negotiated out." Robinson described engraving messages on bullets and characterized the messages as largely a meme while expressing ambivalence about removing them. Utah is pursuing the death penalty under an aggravated murder charge, though legal viability may be uncertain.
