How Tyler Robinson hearing is an attempt to end vile Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories once and for all

Erika Kirk and prosecutors have fought to keep the trial of Charlie’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson as open as possible — in an attempt to quell sick conspiracy theories about his murder.A hearing Monday was the first of five days of evidence against Robinson — a Utah legal procedure that is being used to determine if the case can go to trial.Robinson’s defense, meanwhile, has pushed to keep cameras and details of bombshell evidence out of court to avoid swaying potential jurors against him.The judge has split the difference — allowing cameras in court but not allowing videos of Kirk’s September murder at Utah Valley University and other evidence exhibits to be broadcast.Access to the trial for journalists has been limited.But whacko speculators still claim the death of the Turning Point USA founder was an inside job.Fake claims that Kirk died at the behest of Israel, the Trump administration, or other high-level interlopers have continued to circulate — some of which are led by self-styled Kirk confidant Candace Owens.TPUSA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet sought to disavow Owens once and for all on Monday.“Candace, you and Charlie were not friends.He managed you.
He kept things light and polite so you wouldn’t turn on the org,” Kolvet posted to X on Monday as Utah prosecutors laid out evidence against Robinson.Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
