Tyler Robinson Smirks and Swaggers in Court, Showing No Remorse for Murdering Charlie Kirk

It's almost as if he likes his chances at trial.

Tyler Robinson, accused in Charlie Kirk killing, smirks and chuckles during first in-person court appearance, with family in tow

...

Thursday's hearing was the first time Robinson was physically present and seen in court. Prior hearings were virtual.

Robinson looked unfazed by the grim charges he faces -- which accused him of brutally shooting the 31-year-old Kirk on Sept. 10 during a Turning Point USA talk at Utah Valley University in front of a crowd of thousands.

Why is this man smiling?

Because he knows he won't be convicted. He has leftist supporters who want to reward him for murdering Charlie Kirk, and he has members of the pseudoright -- Candace Owens acolytes -- who think he was framed by the Deep State to cover up Erika Kirk's murder of her husband.

So get ready for the acquittal. It's coming, and Tyler Robinson knows it.

And don't think "At least the acquittal will finally convince Candace Owens to stop with her insane grifting practices." No, it won't. She's smile, she'll laugh, and she'll say, "You see, I was right! The acquittal proves it was Israel and Egyptian Planes who killed Charlie Kirk!"

For months, Candace Owens has been claiming that officials at TPUSA were covering up the assassination-- because they were in on it from the start. Owens claims they're hiding video tape that only they have which would prove that the lethal shot wasn't taken by Tyler Robinson, but from someone much closer to Kirk, both in terms of physical proximity and close personal relationship. Her "mommysleuths" are obsessed with the idea that a 30-06 bullet should have been seen visibly impacting the wall behind Kirk, therefore, he wasn't killed by a rifle bullet. Must have been a pocket pistol carried in, who knows, maybe a.... purse?!

Owens has pretended she was not accusing Erika Kirk as being part of the assassination plot, even as she accused Erika of covering up the murder. But of course, only someone directly involved in her husband's murder would have any interest in covering it up.

After showing the patience of a saint and letting this diseased toxic lunatic smear her as a husband-murderer for three months, Erika Kirk has finally had enough and told Candace Owens to STOP.

The cruelty that has been heaped on Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika, since his assassination three months ago has been unrelenting.

First it was leftist ghouls cheering on his cold-blooded murder, in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at the first stop of his Turning Point USA "American Comeback Tour" outdoors on the campus of Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

The ghouls gloried in the death of the young father of two, mimicked the instant the bullet hit his throat, created T-shirts with his image and gushes of blood to celebrate the moment his voice was silenced.

...

But what has been far worse than the leftist haters are right-wing-adjacent grifters and nuts pushing wicked conspiracy theories about Charlie's murder, pointing the finger at his colleagues, friends and even Erika herself.

These fantasies have been peddled primarily by former prominent TPUSA luminary Candace Owens on her hit podcast, which gets more than 40 million views for her wildest rants.

She has claimed Israeli Mossad agents, men in maroon shirts, the US military, Egyptian planes, Jewish donors and the French government are somehow complicit.

She also claimed some kind of Mormon cult centered around... bee worship might have had a hand in it.

She endlessly plays videos of that awful day and theorizes about the "exit wound" or lack thereof.

See, if there's no exit wound, that means that one of Charlie Kirk's own staffers must have shot him from the stage using a lower-powered pistol bullet.

Just asking questions?

Worst of all, she torments Charlie's widow by suggesting in a disingenuous "just asking questions" way that Charlie was "betrayed" by the people who loved him most.

Do you know this next part? Her "proof" that Charlie Kirk was "betrayed" by those closest to him is... a dream.

She claims that Charlie Kirk cane to her in a dream and told her to smear her friends and wife as conspiracists in his murder.

Her proof?

A dream.

"I had a very vivid dream whereupon Charlie told me that he had been betrayed."

She has thrown suspicion on Charlie's pastor, his chief of staff, his chief operating officer, his spokesman, the camera guy, you name it.

She plays clips of their reactions the moment Charlie was shot and claims they looked guilty.

She is suspicious that TPUSA supposedly won't give her their footage of Charlie's murder that she laughably claims she needs so she can "debunk all these internet conspiracies."

"Everything about this is wrong," she said.

"I helped to build that organization, so I am almost the perfect person to discern what is normal and what is abnormal."

She also claims: "I've chosen to be on the side of goodness and truth no matter what the cost is."

Her daily tantalizing drip feed of absurdities cashing in on her former friend's death has made her millions of dollars.

Finally, Erika Kirk broke her self-imposed silence -- trying to let Candace Owens' hatred, jealousy, and narcissism just burn itself out naturally, only to realize it would never burn out because the money is too good -- to tell Owens to stop.

She didn't name Owens, but it's clear who she's talking about. (Owens herself says it's clear that Erika is calling Owens out.)

Finally, on Wednesday, Erika Kirk erupted in a controlled demolition of Owens and all who amplify her toxicity.

"This is righteous anger, because this is not OK. It's not healthy. This is a mind virus," she told Harris Faulkner on Fox News' "Outnumbered" program in an appearance to promote the publication of her husband's final book, "Stop, in the Name of God."

"I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family, more than anyone else out there. But here's my breaking point on that. Come after me, call me names, I don't care.

"Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole, whatever."

"But when you go after ... the people that I love, and you're making hundreds and thousands of dollars, every single episode going after the people that I love [saying] because somehow they're in on this? No."

With courage and graceful intensity, she explained why she so far has remained silent in the face of ever more cruel clickbait: "My silence does not mean that somehow, Turning Point USA, and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband -- and my husband loved them -- is somehow in on it."

Remember, she patiently allowed Candace Owens to defame her for months to let her burn it out of her, and now that silence is taken as an admission she was in on it.

At one point, Erika turned to the camera and pointedly addressed the conspiracy theorists:

"Just know that your words are very powerful, and we are human. My team are not machines, and they're not robots. We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen ... What are we supposed to do? Relive that trauma all over again?"

The best part was that Erika never mentioned the name of the woman who TPUSA insiders say is afflicted by "first wife" syndrome.

They say Owens is consumed by jealousy that Erika has been appointed CEO of TPUSA, following Charlie's express wishes to the board and colleagues and captured on video.

"She is a woman scorned," one TPUSA insider said of Owens.

"She was iced out of TPUSA ... She was not close to Charlie -- he kept her at arm's length. He knew the best tack on her was to keep her on ice ... She was not invited to Charlie's wedding."

Owens has repeatedly claimed she wants to meet with TPUSA staffers to get to the "truth" and claimed she would go anywhere and debate anyone to prove her dream of Charlie Kirk is accurate.

TPUSA agreed to a public debate -- and then Owens made excuses and said that date wouldn't work for her. And nor would any other date.

...

At first, Charlie's family and colleagues decided to ignore the bile.

But last week, his inner team, who have been running his podcast since he died, finally invited Owens to come on the show and clear the air.

They have spent all week negotiating with her but say she keeps making excuses for why she can't go to their studio in Phoenix, including that there is a ­local "cartel" that wants to assassinate her.

She has also claimed that French President Emmanuel Macron -- who is suing her for defamation over her prolonged claims that his wife, Brigitte, is really a man -- has ordered her assassination.

Of course, she claims there's an Israeli in the assassin squad.

You might think that Erika Kirk telling her to stop might make her stop.

Why would you think that?

Well, because Candace Owens said she would stop if and when Erika Kirk told her to stop.

You see, for months, when people told Candace Owens that it was rotten to smear a widow as culpable in her husband's murder, she claimed that only two people could make her stop spinning her conspiracy theories about Erika Kirk -- her husband (or "husband," as other conspiracy theories posit), or Erika Kirk herself.

So... because Candace Owens is truthful and honorable and not motivated by insane levels of narcissism, entitlement, and belief that Erika Kirk should have put Candace Owens in charge of Charlie Kirk's organization, she immediately honored her promise and agreed to no longer spread conspiracy theories about Erika Kirk being an accomplice in her husband's murder.

Just kidding!

Everyone acknowledges that Candade Owens is baselessly accusing Erika Kirk of having murdered her husband. Everyone, that is, but Megyn Kelly, who continues insisting the "brilliant" Candace Owens never said any such thing.

Owens now says it's "absurd" for Erika Kirk to whine about being smeared as a murderess.

Often-incoherent podcaster Candace Owens fired back at Erika Kirk as the widow finally addressed the conspiracy theories surrounding Charlie Kirk's death and Turning Point USA, claiming the widow "missed the mark" and accused her of using "the exact same emotional strategy deployed by BLM."

"It is a positively ABSURD notion that you cannot critique a 150 million dollar organization because the CEO says they are like a family, and are grieving," Owens railed on X.

"It is the exact same emotional strategy deployed by BLM in the wake of George Floyd's death, when I called out their shady financial dealings."

Erika Kirk has been publicly pushing back for the first time on rampant conspiracy theories flying around the internet by conservative activists about her husband's assassination -- among them Owens, a once close friend of Charlie's.

...

She's repeatedly gone after Erika, who was named CEO of Turning Point USA -- the massive conservative activist organization founded by Charlie.

Owens later attacked Erika on her podcast for not addressing the rumors publicly as the new CEO of the company, but as a mourning widow.

"It completely missed the mark for me. I am sorry. It just has. But the good news is that she is now un-murking the water in terms of her intentions with this massive political organization," Owens said on her podcast after Kirk's TV appearance.

What she means is that Erika Kirk, by telling Owens to stop defaming her, has confirmed that TPUSA was in on the murder plot all along.

This is why I have been so vitriolic about conspiracy theorists and their maniacal belief that anyone pushing back against the conspiracy theory is just further proof of the conspiracy theory being right. Every time I've railed against conspiracy theorists lately, I have been thinking of this ugly Low-IQ grifter whore.

I guess i should have said so.

When confronted by one of her own lunatic supporters about her promise to "stop" if Erika asked her to, Candace Owens, get this, prevaricates. She claims that Erika didn't tell her to stop, but to stop lying, and because she's not lying (she claims), she'll keep on doing what she does.

Except she lied right there, didn't she?

Not only is Candace Owens refusing to "stop" as she promised she would do if asked, but she's doubling down and attacking Erika Kirk more, accusing her of showing "no passion" in talking about the murder of her husband -- wink, wink -- and giving "ChatGPT answers" when accused of murder.

Another of Candace Owens' conspiracy theories is that Erika Kirk is hiding his body by not publicizing the location of his grave. Which she assumes would be immediately vandalized and desecreated by the left, forever. But no, this is further proof she is hiding the body to cover up her own involvement in his murder.

She says she is building a beautiful memorial for Charlie Kirk, which will be public. But she seems to, understandably I think, want to keep the location of his actual grave private.

Erika Kirk says she is in fact scared that the jury has been "tainted" by both left-wing support of left-wing killers and conspiracy theorists claiming that she is the Real Killer of her husband.

Erika Kirk and TPUSA haven't sued Candace Owens for defamation and intentional infliction of extreme emotional distress... yet. Owens should remember that when Alex Jones accused parents of children killed in a school shooting of pretending their kids had been killed, a jury absolutely destroyed him with a multi-billion dollar judgment. That is way too much, but Owens should keep in mind that when you accuse people who are the victims of a tragedy of being complicit in that tragedy, a jury can decide that your lies are worth billions of dollars.

Remember, Candace Owens is just "anti-Zionist" not anti-Jew you guys.

Candace commented on my Instagram post saying I only disagree with her baselessly implicating Charlie's friends in his murder because my great-grandfather whom I never met was Jewish. Okay.

Also, apparently, she was Charlie's only true friend.

I have been extremely, explicitly clear that Charlie and I had a strong friendship that was completely professional. I'm grateful to be one of many that he shared stages and wisdom with over the years.

Charlie's inner circle -- his friends, his coworkers, his WIFE -- are the only ones who loved and knew him best and they are the ones we can trust to seek true justice on their behalf.

This woman had a great grandfather she never met who was Jewish so Candace Owens -- not antisemitic, mind you, just "anti-Zionist" -- accuses her of being "tribal."

Tucker Carlson decided to weigh in on the Jews Killed Charlie Kirk Conspiracy Theory, of course. The grifting potential is just too tempting.

He does his usual cowardly signalling that he likes the conspiracy theory without having the guts to sign his name to it. He says he supports Candace Owens in her search for "truth," and says that she is acting in good faith when she accuses Erika Kirk of arranging her husband's murder. Then he says he does not trust the FBI, thereby discarding the evidence against Tyler Robinson.

I used to say "No, Tucker isn't just doing this for the money, he's a Nepo Baby and heiress (yes, I said heiress) to the Swanson frozen food fortune. He doesn't need the money."

Now I'm not so sure. It can't be a coincidence that Tucker Carlson always goes where the clicks are.

And it can't be a coincidence that the guests he keeps having on to spread propaganda just happen to be paid foreign agents.

Tucker Carlson totally isn't taking money from Qatar, a country which infamously pays people off to say nice things about Qatar.
