Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, reportedly expressed antifascist sentiments through bullet engravings, including "Hey, fascist! Catch!" and "Bella ciao," an Italian anti-fascist anthem, according to official statements from Utah Governor Spencer Cox and the FBI. Robinson also allegedly told his father he would prefer to commit suicide rather than surrender, federal law enforcement sources cited by CBS News reported within the past hour. Discord has confirmed Robinson did not use their platform in connection with the murder plot, contradicting some online claims. Developments over the past 14 minutes include Kash Patel posting a tribute to Charlie Kirk on X, stating, "Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you at Valhalla." Separately, Donald Trump Jr. asserted that any claim of political violence being a problem on both sides, rather than solely from Democrats, should be dismissed. Additionally, an internal poll from June indicates Congressman Jared Golden leads Maine State Auditor Matt Dunlap by 34 points, according to Politico. Reports persist of a coordinated misinformation campaign 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, President Biden is reportedly facing challenges in raising funds for his presidential library as donors appear disengaged, according to NBC News.
