Investigators also spoke with another family member, who noted that Robinson had become “more political” in recent years.

The relative remembered a dinner before the September 10 shooting, during which Robinson brought up that Kirk was scheduled to appear at Utah Valley University.

“They talked about why they didn’t like him and the viewpoints that he had,” Cox said.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox said in today’s press conference that Robinson had become more political in recent years, and expressed his dislike of Kirk, telling family members he believed the right-wing political influencer was “full of hate and spreading hate.”
