BREAKING: Texts Between Tyler Robinson and Trans Lover Released: Read Them Here - Graphic

Text messages allegedly exchanged between Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, and his then-romantic partner, Lance Twiggs, were read aloud Thursday in a Provo, Utah, courtroom.

The messages were presented during a preliminary hearing connected to Kirk’s Sept. 10, 2025, killing at Utah Valley University in Orem, where the conservative leader was speaking at a Turning Point USA event.

According to the testimony, several of the messages were sent on the day Kirk was murdered.

In one exchange, Robinson allegedly wrote, “drop what you are doing” and “look under my keyboard.”

“what????????????” Twiggs responded. “You: you’re joking right?????”

“F*** I TRIED TO DELETE THAT,” Robinson responded.

During video sworn testimony shown in court, Twiggs said he found a handwritten letter after receiving Robinson’s message. The letter reportedly read, “If you are reading this per my text, then I am so sorry. I left the house this morning on a mission, and set an auto text. I am likely dead, or facing a lengthy prison sentence. I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it. I don’t know if I will/have succeeded, but I had hoped to make it home to you.”

Robinson later allegedly texted, “I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. to be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.”

“you werent the one who did it right????” Twiggs responded.

“I am, I’m sorry,” Robinson answered.

In another message, Robinson allegedly appeared to reference the firearm prosecutors say was connected to the attack.

“its gonna be real f***in annoying if i can’t get this thing till like 3, then have to drive back and still go into work,” he texted, apparently referring to the gun allegedly stashed near campus.

Robinson also reportedly gave a political motive for the shooting, writing that he killed Kirk because “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.”

Twiggs testified that when Robinson returned home, he confronted him about the messages.

“I just asked him in person if what he said was true the night before, and he said it was … He started crying a little bit, and said he wishes he hadn’t done it …”

“And then eventually [Robinson] said that he would talk to his parents or turn himself over.”

The testimony offered one of the most direct looks yet at what prosecutors say happened around the time of Kirk’s assassination. It also appears to support the prosecution’s broader claim that the killing was not random, but targeted at one of the most prominent conservative voices in the country.

Kirk’s assassination shocked conservatives nationwide. He was widely known for defending free speech, challenging left-wing ideology on college campuses, and mobilizing young Americans around faith, family, constitutional principles, and America First politics.

Robinson is entitled to due process, and the court must determine the facts under the law. But the messages read in court paint a chilling picture of a suspect who allegedly admitted responsibility, described retrieving a rifle, and cited ideological hostility toward Kirk as a motive.

For Kirk’s family, friends, and supporters, the hearing is another painful step in a case that has become a national symbol of political violence against the right.

The justice system now faces a serious test: follow the evidence, protect due process, and deliver accountability for the assassination of a conservative leader whose voice helped shape a generation.
