Days after he killed MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, US President Donald Trump has labelled suspected killer Tyler Robinson a leftist "radicalised over the internet." Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday (Sep 15) Trump said that Robinson, who comes from a family of Republican Party supporters, had "wonderful parents," but over a "fairly short period of time," was "radicalised." Blaming the left for Kirk's assassination, the right-wing leader alleged, "A lot of problems with the left, and they get protected, and they shouldn't be protected."

After extensively blaming the left for Robinson's so-called radicalisation, Trump later clarified that this was just his opinion and not something investigators have discovered. "By the way, when I say that, that’s my opinion. I think he was radicalised online based on what they’re saying," he said.
Meanwhile, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, while attending the podcast programme previously hosted by Charlie Kirk shared what he claimed was the rightist influencer's final message. Miller said that Kirk told him "that we need to have an organised strategy to go after the left-wing organisations that are promoting violence in this country".
