The timing obviously exploits the assassination, but the motive could go two ways (that come to mind — maybe more):
1) expose/attack the DoJ/FBI for doing this to conservatives.
2) trigger a reaction to the above that will disrupt the Trump administration from targeting leftist groups that sponsor violence and facilitate crime, etc.

Time to get Carnivore working with search term “Charlie Kirk” and see what pops up. I think someone like Sen. Chris Murphy may be in contact with enough crazed liberals that he is 1 degree of separation away from Tyler Robinson. He says cryptic things like (paraphrase) “Trump needs to be stopped. When Democracy is under attack, we must protect Democracy by all means necessary.
“Fight fire with fire” and “whatever is necessary” (September 2025)
From google AI
In a YouTube short published on September 10, 2025, Murphy was interviewed about fighting to save democracy. He stated: “Our only chance to save our democracy is to fight fire with fire right now... So you have to be willing to do whatever is necessary in order to save [it]”.
The phrase was used in the context of confronting former President Trump, with Murphy asserting that de-escalation tactics would not be effective against an “attempt to destroy our democracy”.
