There have been a number of left-wing accounts openly celebrating as well as mocking the assassination of Kirk as he was speaking to college students on Wednesday at Utah Valley University. Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the case, has been taken into custody and has been charged with the murder of Krik.
Robinson reportedly has a transgender roommate whom he is romantically involved with, and one of his roommates also worked with the FBI, showing the agency messages on Discord that helped provide evidence in a case against Robinson. It is unclear if it is the same roommate.
In addition to some left-wing influencers online celebrating Kirk's death, an opinion editor at The Nation wrote a piece titled, "Charlie Kirk's legacy deserves no mourning." Others have written similar sentiments for the husband with two young children.
