ABC Faces Calls to Fire Matt Gutman Over Tyler Robinson Texts Remark
Newsweek ^ | 9/17/25 | Martha McHardy

Posted on 09/17/2025 5:36:20 AM PDT by DallasBiff

ABC News reporter Matt Gutman is facing backlash for describing a text exchange between suspected Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson and his partner as "very touching".

Prosecutors on Tuesday revealed text messages between accused gunman Tyler Robinson and his roommate, in which Robinson admitted to killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, described hiding his rifle and detailed his planning in the days before the shooting.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox had previously said Robinson lived with a romantic partner who is transgender. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed on The Megyn Kelly Show on Monday that the name of Robinson's partner is Lance Twiggs.

Reporting after the conclusion of the press conference, Gutman said: "I dont know if we have seen an alleged murder with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it.

"But also it was very touching in a way that many of us didn't expect. A very intimate potrait into this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself with him repeatedly calling his roommate who was transitioning, calling him 'my love' and 'I want to protect you my love'

The moho didn’t report the news. He editorialized it.

Yes. The left supports murdering those that have differing political opinions. To Guttman, I’d bet he sees Robinson as a hero.

I’m confused but I guess I’m not alone.

WHY would a man take up with a person who PRETENDS to be a man but is actually a woman? Why not find a real woman?

He’s not a “gunman”.

He’s an assassin.

Yep. That’s why I dumped TV in 1997. I saw it back then on all the networks. And often their editorializing contradicted the facts of the story they had just reported.

-——who wanted-—

The word on the street is that the room mate is transitioning to become a woman. The tense is decidedly present

Confusing stuff. Both physically and grammatically.

Correct. Nauseating. A ‘touching’ and ‘intimate’ view into the life and mind of a sexually deviant homicidal maniac.

He also characterized the murder as Charlie Kirk’s life as being

” jeopardizing “

It wasn’t jeopardized it was a brutal murder.

Touching ?

Sick rat bastage.

The reporter got carried away with the rhapsodizing and romanticism that pop culture often places on dangerous, despicable characters. “Yeah, he broke into a church, shot a crystal chandelier down and set the church on fire, but, his hair was perfect!”. Lazy thinking often takes the form of Style Over Substance.

Honestly, the mental illness with these folks is astounding. Even Jimmy Fallon has demonstrated his mental illness.

I think more appropriate words would be “disgusting” or “pathetic”. But that’s just me.

The fag reporter wouldn’t say the same thing, or anything, if they found a straight murderer’s “touching” texts or messages with his girlfriend or wife. He just can’t help but to shove the perverts’ lifestyle in our faces. Fire him.

Kind of hard to understand but some are pretty damn good faking being women...and sometimes they go for black men, and it doesn’t end well for them. Tisk. Tisk.
