ABC News correspondent Matt Gutman described text messages between alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and his transgender roommate, about the alleged murder weapon, as “very touching.”
Gutman’s comments came after Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced on Tuesday that the alleged Kirk assassin was charged with seven counts including; aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering, among others. Gray also announced that he was filing a notice of intent to seek the death penalty against Robinson.
After Gray’s announcement, Gutman noted that the text messages between Robinson and his roommate “stood out” to him.
“I don’t 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 I think many of us didn’t expect,” Gutman explained, adding that it was a “very intimate portrait into” the relationship between Robinson and his roommate, who is in the process of transitioning from male to female.
Gutman continued to point out that in the text messages, Robinson “repeatedly” called his roommate “my love” and told him that he wanted to “protect” him.
“So, it was this duality of someone who, the attorney said, not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children — which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case, and on the other hand, he was speaking so lovingly about his partner,” Gutman continued.

I just hope someone can let the shooter know that his 'love' is indeed talking to police and singing like a bird. What the hell is wrong with Matt Gutman. A few terms of endearment and Matt believes he's reading love poems. Nauseating.

Made up by whom?
This is the kind of thing I'm referring to. We have an extemporaneous, ostensibly private exchange between two intimate kids, and it "sounds made up". Couldn't possibly be real, couldn't possibly be the out-of-body experience of being told that your lover just assassinated a political figure, couldn't possibly be merely one equation in all the possible equations of human dynamics.
Who we bettin' on, mark? That old favorite the CIA? Russians? Chinese? North Koreans? Peruvians? Da JOOZ? Always da jooz!
Illuminati? Stasi? Bilderbergs?
I’m sorry, that’s not where I was going or what I meant to allude to. I guess some stuff still amazes me and his messages just caught me off guard.

He knows damn well what he needs to do to keep his job and get a promotion. Become famous.
These people are whores. Selling themselves and their souls.
There's hope for them, but little.

Accessory After the Fact, also, if they can demonstrate a Fed violation by the shooter (gun-related, maybe). Love me some AATF.

And Gov. Cox has repeatedly stated the furry tranny was not involved, which is sheer bullshit. At the very least, he was an accessory after the fact and needs to be treated as such, no immunity.

I’m glad to see people on the Left FINALLY seeing repercussions for the shit they pull, because they’ve gotten away with it for so many years it has made them really really bold. But the tide has turned:
Don't let them do it. Don't let them bury this. Keep talking about it with each other. Keep attending events. Keep praying. Keep encouraging one another. Keep holding the people who celebrate murder accountable in your local communities.
While you do these things, remember Charlie Kirk when he was at his best: With his wife and kids, a happy family man, loving and loved, living a very good life. This is the good life lived by millions of us. It's worth living, worth defending, and worth fighting for, as Charlie did.

He's a known weirdo along the Wastch. I believe he become infamous by trying to mimic the Boston Marathon bombing by placing a bomb along the route of the Salt Lake City marathon about a decade ago. Friend who's a retired deputy in the area I was texting with was vehament that it 'wasn't that bald old guy that was getting hauled away''No fucking chance, he's not smart enough to pull-off such an action, he's a patsy by the real suspect if he's involved at all'

When was the last time you heard a college-age gay misfit couple talk to each other? Not sure how long they've been together but this could be Robinson's first relationship so, all manor of excessively tender language is pouring out. Puppy love at age-22

VDH is a treasure and resource whose wisdom and insight is almost beyond evaluation. I’m a little surprised he hasn’t been lured or conscripted into the Trump fold. I think he could enhance Trump‘s message, and make sure it is delivered and explained more succinctly than is currently happening I also worry about his safety out there in Selma, on an unprotected farm.
