The Next Question: Did Online Radical Groups Know About Charlie Kirk Assassination in Advance?
Red State ^ | 09/14/2025 | Bob Hoge

It’s the first thing that comes to mind in awful situations like this—did a deranged psychopath act alone, or did he have help?

In the aftermath of Turning Point USA co-founder and CEO Charlie Kirk’s assassination on Wednesday by a young man who appears to have wildly leftist tendencies, authorities want to know if he was a lone wolf or whether his twisted internet “friends” had advance knowledge.

The feds have widened their investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk to probe whether pro-trans, online groups and others connected with Tyler Robinson knew in advance about the plan to kill the MAGA influencer, The Post has learned.

Law enforcement sources said that investigators are examining leftist groups both in Utah and online to figure out if they helped him with the shooting — or at least heard it was going to happen.

The probe includes groups in online gaming community Steam, as well as a pro-trans organization called Armed Queers SLC, which took down their Instagram after Kirk was killed, the source confirmed.

The clues are there on the vast interwebs, and investigators are digging down to find out who knew what, and when:

Utah group Armed Queens SLC, whose logo features two high-powered rifle rounds similar to the one that struck Kirk, hosted a lecture on “queer resistance” at the University of Utah in September, 2023 — around 45 miles from Utah Valley University where the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally lost his life.

Flyers promoting the event hosted in partnership with self-described “leftist student organization” Mecha de U of U obtained by Young America’s Foundation feature a young woman clad in two ammo belts and clutching an AK-47, with her finger on the trigger.

“Armed Queers Salt Lake City” just wiped all of their social media.

Are they one of the leftist antifa groups implicated with Tyler Robinson?

BREAKING - A Utah-based trans militia group, Armed Queers Salt Lake City, which trains individuals to use weapons to defend trans rights, deleted its account the day Charlie Kirk was killed.

Even leftist outlet Axios is wondering if there’s more to the story:

Between the lines: Federal and state law enforcement officials also are examining leftist groups in Utah to see whether they had knowledge of the alleged shooter's plans beforehand, or if they lent material support to him afterward.

What they're saying: "It's pretty clear that Robinson's roommate knew a lot and didn't say anything after the killing, so they're a person of interest officially and are cooperating," a second official said. "We want to keep it that way."

That’s something we all want to know. Tyler Robinson may turn out to be a warped soul who acted on his own—or there may be more to the story. We have a right to the facts, and RedState will continue to bring you updates as warranted.

So this organization in Salt Lake City. It must be a promising lead.

Let’s be patient on this I think they’re getting closer to what could be the wider conspiracy

I hope Charlie and family gets justice that’s why I have been posting about this but I realize it takes time (an investigation) and everything needs to be done properly.

The Utah gov. concerns me more than anything with his comments and inferences

The ‘doppelganger’ comment was the tell.

A message.

Some of us would like to know if he also played ‘That’s Not My Neighbor’...

The ones connected to the subreddit threads that Robinson participated in would have almost certainly knew.

The book about the assassination was published the day before, on Amazon

I seem to remember something said by Governor Tampon too. He said something big was going to happen.

I am sure Robinson’s computer will have subreddit correspondence that would tell the extent of support for his plans.

Identify the trannies on these chat groups and haul them all in for intense questioning. They clearly knew in advance if not aided and abetted in the murder.

Likely this antifa sub group received funding and training from United States Institute of Peace

Via USAID

Your tax dollars

Haul them in to be sure, but haul in their democrat handlers as well — and find out — did this murder conspiracy originate with the democrat leadership.
