The FBI received a text message chain between Robinson and his trans-identifying boyfriend, Lance Twiggs, along with other cellular information “in record time.” Robinson told one individual that he was going to kill Kirk because of his “hatred” for the Turning Point USA founder’s views, Patel said on “Fox & Friends.”
“ had a text message exchange, he, the suspect, with another individual in which he claimed that he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and he was going to do it because of his hatred for what Charlie stood for,” Patel said.

It is currently unknown why the other individual did not report Robinson’s plans to authorities. Patel assured that the FBI’s investigation into the case is still ongoing.
Patel said that many of Robinson’s family members and friends have already been spoken to, including his live-in transgender partner. His family confirmed to the FBI that Robinson had subscribed to left-wing ideology and had become increasingly hateful in recent years.
