ST. GEORGE, Utah – The trans roommate of Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin “hates conservatives and Christians,” one of his relatives told Fox News Digital in an interview.
The 22-year-old, who has not been charged and whose name has not yet been released by authorities, was in a romantic relationship with suspect Tyler Robinson, also 22, according to the relative. She said he is in the process of transitioning from male to female.
The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told Fox News Digital her relative began to act differently when he turned 18 and said that he developed a hatred of Christians and conservatives.
The relative suspects Robinson’s politics were influenced by his partner in the year they have been dating.
“I think Tyler got a whole lot worse in the year they have been dating. They are big gamers, and obviously they have that group that influences them as well as others. But my gut tells me [the roommate] did more of the influencing,” the relative said.
It was Robinson’s father who turned him into authorities after he recognized his son in surveillance videos that the FBI released, a law enforcement source earlier told Fox News Digital.
