看上去杀手和受害者均为Trump支持者,杀手及其家庭是淳朴的MAGA支持者,而受害者则为极右的MAGA分子。Robinson at the dinner said “Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate,” according to the relative’s account related by Gov. Spencer Cox.
这个 Kirk 也是第一个说Covid是中国病毒(China virus)的人,然后Trump就跟着说了,根据 CBC 的报道 (https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/charlie-kirk-controversies-1.7630859)
Conspiracy theories
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Kirk frequently shared conspiracy theories on social media and was
briefly banned from the social media platform then known as Twitter for spreading misinformation.
In March 2020, he posted about the "China virus" — a phrase that was quickly adopted by U.S. President Donald Trump, then in his first term. In December that year, the year-end gala for Kirk's Turning Point USA group went ahead in Florida despite the state's COVID-19 mitigation efforts.
He also notably compared pandemic vaccine requirements
to apartheid during a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson.

From CNN's Andy Rose
The suspect in the killing of Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, spoke negatively of the victim before the shooting, a family member told investigators, Utah’s governor said.
“Investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson who stated that Robinson had become more political in recent years,” Gov. Spencer Cox said Friday in a news conference.
The suspect specifically mentioned Kirk during a family dinner, Cox said.
“In the conversation with another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU. They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had,” the governor said.
Robinson at the dinner said “Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate,” according to the relative’s account related by Cox.
