The Republican Governor of the US state of Utah, Spencer Cox, said that the suspect in the assassination of right -wing activist Charlie Kerk last Wednesday converted to left -wing ideas.
Cox added in statements to the “NBC” network that Tyler Robinson, 22, is from a conservative family, but he carries a “leftist ideology” and spent time in “dark and deep internet, Redit’s culture and these other dark places.”
He added that Robinson refuses to cooperate with investigators so far, and he explained that all the people around him were cooperating, stressing that he will be charged.
During several television interviews, Utah governor repeated the reference to the suspect’s affiliation with Kirk’s assassination of the leftist movement.
President Donald Trump was quick to accuse the “radical left” of being behind the assassination of the right -wing activist Charlie Kerk during a gathering attended by thousands of people in the city of Orim after about 65 kilometers from the city of Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah State, in the western United States.
Kirk was injured last Wednesday with a bullet in his neck while he was speaking during the gathering, killing him.
Utah officials described the incident as a political assassination, and said they would seek to implement the death penalty against the suspect.
Tyler Robinson, a third -year student, was arrested by a vocational training program in Electricity at the Technology College of Dexie, which is part of the general universities system in Utah, at his parents ’house, about 420 km southwest of the crime scene after a 33 -hour hunt.
The state records show that Robinson was a registered voter but was not belonging to any political party.
One of his relatives told the investigators that the suspect has become more policy in recent years and once discussed with another member of the family they did not like Kirk and his views, according to the arrest warrant.
Charlie Kerk – who founded the “United States Point” movement in 2012 – is described as a tribe of Trump, and he was famous for his positions in support of the possession of weapons and rejecting migration and abortion, which made him a controversial figure, and Trump described him after his assassination as a “giant of his generation”, and ordered the flags to be trivial in honor of him.
