This week saw the seven-month anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s murder at Utah Valley University. Charlie Kirk has now been dead for seven months. And what has happened in those seven months—what has been done?
Also this week: new records were unsealed from the ongoing trial of Tyler Robinson, the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk. Among them is a letter addressed to his transsexual roommate and lover, Lance Twiggs—aka “Luna”—in which Robinson confesses to the murder, no ambiguity whatsoever.
“If you are reading this,” Robinson wrote, “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. I wish we could have lived in a world where this did not feel necessary. I wish I could have stayed for you and lived our lives together. I lack the words to express how much I love you, and how very much you mean to me. Please try and find joy in this life. I love you, always, Tyler.”
The unsealed affidavits provide details of Robinson’s communications in the hours after the murder, including messages on Discord in which he again confessed and also talked about planning the murder for “a bit over a week I believe.”
This unequivocal, unimpeachable evidence can now be added to the evidence already in the public domain—text messages, fingerprints, a palm print, cellphone and Google Maps data—all of which points to a single unequivocal, unimpeachable conclusion.
Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk.
Hopefully this will now be enough to silence the grifters, retards, ghouls and shameless profiteers who have done everything they can to muddy the waters since Charlie Kirk was murdered, harassing and defaming his widow and former colleagues, and spaffing away in the process a tidal wave of sympathy and goodwill that could have been used to do something, finally, about the radical left and its campaign of violence against its political opponents. Against us.
I believe, in years to come—assuming, of course, that we win—that the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder will be studied as a textbook example of the right’s lamentable tendency to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It’s baked in, a Pavlovian response, and it’s just so utterly self-destructive. Something needs to change, right now. The left would never behave this way if one of their own had been killed like Charlie Kirk.
Not that I’m saying Charlie Kirk’s murder was a victory. It wasn’t. It was a dreadful, dreadful defeat; the brutal snuffing out of a once-in-a-generation talent and a man who, if he didn’t become president himself one day, would certainly have played a key role in installing president after president for decades to come.
He had already done that in 2024: It’s hard to believe Trump would have won without Turning Point USA and its big, goofy, untiring and utterly inspirational young leader.
Instead of the right rallying round and accepting the patently obvious working hypothesis that Charlie Kirk had been murdered by a radical leftist—probably to impress his tranny girlfriend who hated Charlie Kirk because of his views about biology and gender—pretty soon we were being told Erika Kirk had commissioned the killing to take over TPUSA and she was going to marry JD Vance after he divorced Usha—Have you seen that TikTok where the plumber says he fitted TWO baths in Erika Kirk’s new house!?!?!?—and, actually, it was Israel that killed Charlie because jet fuel can’t melt human bones so don’t you see he was shot with a palm pistol wielded by a shape-shifting Mossad agent, here look watch this video explainer I found on Rumble…
I’m not saying people shouldn’t talk or ask questions, and I’m certainly not saying I have all the answers. I’ve fired a 30-06 at a target—admittedly not a live target—and seen what it could do. Not pretty. I thought the attempt to say Charlie Kirk had some kind of super-skeleton, like Wolverine, that somehow exploded the bullet, thereby protecting innocent bystanders from harm, was weird and stupid and just generated more questions because it was so obviously false. But I’m not a ballistics expert—and neither, importantly, are about 99.99% of the people who’ve said crazy shit about the shooting. It’s true.
You can also say what you want about Erika Kirk’s style of mourning. As an Englishman, used to a stiff-upper lip and all that, it’s certainly not to my taste, and I didn’t like the agonizing public declaration of forgiveness at his memorial—I’m glad President Trump said he didn’t forgive his enemies even if Erika Kirk did—but then again I’ve not had a wife and the mother of my children murdered in front of me, so who am I to judge? In a very real sense, Erika Kirk’s decision to remain in the public eye and continue her husband’s vital work is the best possible tribute she could offer him, apart from continuing to raise his children.
Anyway. It feels strange and more than a bit sad that we’re still talking about this, but here we are, seven months later. So it goes.
Some of this is just the way social media works and the kind of content it promotes and rewards. Even without social media, though, people said and believed pretty mad stuff: Wild rumors and salacious gossip are hardly inventions that post-date the modem. Look at the European witch craze. But beyond the incentives of the digital age, man’s inherent credulity and his desire to wallow in the dirt like a pig, caking himself in shit, there are people who know exactly what they’ve been doing and deserve to be held accountable for it. I’m not sure how that would happen, but it would be nice if it did.
Thankfully, it looks like we’re starting to see some real movement from the DoJ and the State Department about Antifa, at home and abroad. The conviction of nine Antifa members for domestic terrorism in Texas, the first such conviction ever, has now established a precedent for treating Antifa as an actual organization, which it obviously is. Breaking up Antifa and preventing more political murders won’t bring Charlie Kirk back, but it will at least mean his death wasn’t for nothing, and the ghouls and grifters won’t have had it all their way.
