The Republican governor added that Robinson is not cooperating with officials, but his roommate is. Cox described how the individual, whom he said was in a romantic relationship with Robinson, was “shocked” by the shooting and did not have any advanced knowledge of the attack.
There is “not a solid understanding” whether there was a connection between the gender identity of the roommate, whom Cox described as transitioning from male to female, and Robinson’s alleged shooting of Kirk, a conservative Christian who denied the legitimacy of transgender people, according to Cox.
In the wake of the shooting, allegations that Robinson’s roommate or partner is transgender prompted some in the MAGA movement to repeat the false, debunked claim that trans people are more likely to carry out gun violence.
Investigators are probing whether Robinson considered Kirk’s views on trans people to be “hateful,” Axios reports, as well as whether any local leftist groups knew of or assisted in the shooting plot.

The wording is also extremely suspicious. “We can confirm that, again, according to family and people that we’ve interviewed, he does come from [a conservative family], but his ideology was very different than his family,”
They don’t specifically say he’s on the left, just that his ideology is very different. I think if they even thought he is on the left they’d say it clearly.
Does he actually say that the shooter was on the left or is this just the media making the assumption based on the comment that his ideology was very different from his families’?
