Tyler Robinson: an 'obsession' with furries and a trans boyfriend who campaigned for Biden

Charlie Kirk's killer, Tyler Robinson, had an obsession with the furry movement, while his transgender boyfriend, Lance Twiggs, with whom he lived, presented himself as a supporter of Joe Biden and joked about having a mental illness.

Investigators discovered these revelations while reviewing the social media accounts of the couple from Utah. Twiggs appears to have made a comment on a 2022 Reddit post in which he expressed support for then-President Joe Biden.

In another post, Twiggs said he had been receiving targeted ads about treatments for schizophrenia and other mental illnesses on social media. "Lately, social media ads have been recommending treatments for schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and a brain tumor. This meme is perfect, thank you,"

Robinson is believed not to have acted alone

Parallel to his trans boyfriend's delusions, Robinson cultivated a strange connection with the "furry" lifestyle, an urban subculture based on devotion to and interest in anthropomorphic animals. The killer had an account on the website FurAffinity.net, which features sexualized images of cartoon animal characters.

In fact, the spent cartridge found at the crime scene, which forensic experts believe belongs to the murder weapon used by Robinson, contained, in addition to phrases related to the left-wing terrorist movement Antifa, an inscription associated with a popular Internet "furry" meme.

Although police sources consulted by the outlet Axios state that Twiggs is fully cooperating with the investigation, doubts are growing as to whether left-wing groups in Utah to which Robinson and Twiggs belonged had prior knowledge of the murder or provided support after the fact.

One group in particular, which calls itself "Armed Queers Salt Lake City" and taught transgender people how to handle weapons, deleted all its social media accounts in recent days, although it is unknown whether this was in response to the ongoing investigations.
