FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday revealed a chilling text message that Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, sent that may indicate a motive for last week’s shooting.
“[W]hat was found, in terms of information, a text message exchange where the suspect [Robinson], specifically stated that he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do that,” Patel said during an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.”
“And when [Robinson] was asked why, he said, ‘Some hatred cannot be negotiated with,’” the FBI director added.
Robinson, 22, is accused of shooting and killing Kirk from a rooftop hundreds of yards away from an event on the campus of Utah Valley University, where the 31-year-old conservative activist was speaking to a massive crowd.
