(DC Pundit) – Utah authorities have released the disturbing text messages exchanged between Charlie Kirk’s killer, Tyler Robinson, and his transgender partner, Lance Twiggs. The messages were sent shortly after Robinson carried out the brutal assassination.
Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray wasted no time making clear that Robinson will face the harshest possible punishment under the law. Gray announced seven charges against Robinson and confirmed prosecutors will seek the death penalty.
“I am filing a notice of intent to seek the death penalty. I do not take this decision lightly, and it is a decision I have made… based solely on the available evidence and circumstances and nature of the crime,” Gray told reporters during a press conference.
As if the crime itself weren’t already horrifying enough, Gray also released the so-called “love” texts Robinson sent to Twiggs immediately afterward. These weren’t innocent exchanges. They were the words of a man who had just assassinated a conservative leader in cold blood and wanted to share his twisted sense of pride with his partner.
And yet, ABC’s Matt Gutman somehow decided to label the messages as “touching.” Yes, Gutman, reporting on national television, described the conversation between a murderer and his radical partner as if it were some kind of tragic romance.
“So, it was this duality of someone who the attorney said not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And then, on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So a very interesting and, as Pierre said, riveting press conference,” Gutman said.

Let’s pause here for a moment. A conservative leader is assassinated in public, prosecutors announce they’ll pursue the death penalty, and ABC News thinks the big takeaway is how “loving” the killer was in his text messages? This is what passes for journalism in 2025—painting political violence in soft, sympathetic tones because the victim was on the “wrong” side of the ideological aisle.
Robinson didn’t just murder Charlie Kirk, he attempted to terrorize conservatives across the country. Doing so in front of children, as prosecutors noted, only makes his crime more reprehensible.
ABC News calling this killer’s words “touching” is disgraceful. No civilized society should ever romanticize a murderer. And no news outlet should try to dress up political violence as anything other than pure evil.
