On September 16, 2025, prosecutors in Utah County dropped a bombshell during Tyler Robinson’s court appearance, revealing the 22-year-old suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination sent a haunting text to his roommate confessing his motive: “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.” The message, part of a series exchanged after Kirk’s fatal shooting at Utah Valley University on September 10, has left the nation reeling, with the roommate—Robinson’s romantic partner, a transgender woman—providing the evidence that led to his arrest. X is ablaze (#RobinsonConfession), as fans and critics dissect the words that expose a young man’s descent into darkness.
The texts, detailed in court documents from Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray, began with Robinson instructing his roommate: “Drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard.” There, a note read, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.” The roommate, shocked, replied, “You’re joking, right????,” but Robinson confirmed, detailing his plan to retrieve a rifle from a drop point in bushes. He admitted hoping to “keep this secret till I died of old age,” apologizing for involving his partner. The roommate, cooperating fully, alerted authorities after a family member’s suspicion, leading to Robinson’s capture 34 hours post-shooting.
Prosecutors, seeking the death penalty on seven charges including aggravated murder, allege Robinson targeted Kirk for his “political expression,” with bullet casings engraved with “oh bella ciao, bella ciao” memes. Governor Spencer Cox noted the roommate’s “shock” and cooperation, describing her as a “biological male transitioning to female.” Robinson, unaffiliated voter but increasingly political, discussed Kirk’s event at a family dinner, saying he “didn’t like him.” Discord messages showed him joking about faking Kirk’s death, with an avatar from a Garfield comic.
The confession has polarized America, with conservatives like Pete Hegseth calling it “leftist radicalization,” while others see a troubled youth’s cry. Robinson’s loving Mormon family turned him in after his implication, a “rare act,” per experts. X debates rage: “Hatred from who—Kirk or society?” As the trial looms, this text chain isn’t just evidence—it’s a window into a killer’s mind, leaving Kirk’s legacy and America’s divides forever scarred.
