A memorial for Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on September 12th, 2025, took place at the Turning Point USA Headquarters within the past 29 minutes, as a young man arrived playing bagpipes. The event occurred as reports of a misinformation campaign seeking to falsely associate the suspect, Tyler Robinson, with the far-right continue. This development follows earlier reports that Robinson expressed antifascist sentiments through bullet engravings and told his father he would prefer to commit suicide rather than surrender. Federal law enforcement sources cited by CBS News previously reported Robinson's admission to his father and his suicidal ideations. The FBI and Utah Governor Spencer Cox have also stated that Robinson's alleged motives were antifascist, supported by bullet engravings. Discord confirmed that Robinson did not use their platform in connection with the murder plot. Separately, Kash Patel posted a tribute to Kirk on X, stating, "Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you at Valhalla." Reports persist of a coordinated misinformation campaign attempting to falsely associate Robinson with the far-right, including a doctored image of him wearing a Trump shirt shared by a large X account. Robinson's father's alleged affiliation with the Washington County Sheriff's Office has been officially denied. In unrelated news, a South Korean EV battery maker has stated the U.S. is an extremely important market and that they will not pull back after an ICE raid.
