Steven Bannon is skeptical about the narrative put forth by prosecutors regarding Tyler Robinson’s alleged shooting of Charlie Kirk, suggesting potential links to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump should be investigated.
Utah prosecutors on Tuesday released text messages between 22-year-old Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover Lance Twiggs.
In the text messages, Robinson admits to murdering Kirk at Utah Valley University last week.
Robinson revealed that his motive for shooting Kirk was because he ‘had enough of his hatred.’
Former Trump advisor Bannon questions the sufficiency of text messages in explaining the tragic events leading to Kirk’s death.
‘I’m particularly not buying those text messages, it just seems too stilted, too much like a script—actually, like a bad script.
So we got to get to the bottom of it,’ Bannon said on his ‘War Room’ podcast.
‘We need to dig deeper into these organizations, look into connections with Antifa, and determine if there are links to the Butler incident where Thomas Crooks tried to assassinate Trump on July 13, 2024, in Pennsylvania.’
‘We’ve got a whole lot of work to do, and no, I’m not buying the script that was in the text messages.’
Robinson, who was charged with Kirk’s murder on Tuesday, faces the death sentence if found guilty.

Following Kirk’s death, Robinson did not show remorse for the conservative figure’s killing but was more concerned about his grandfather’s rifle being lost.
‘You’ve killed a significant figure in the conservative sphere, executing him brutally, and you’re worried about a family rifle? Really?’, Bannon exclaims. ‘Do you expect me to accept that explanation!?’
‘How did the guy have time to write a sonnet? How did he worry about ‘Dad’s really going to be upset about grandpa’s rifle?”
‘Honestly, your father is likely more concerned about you murdering someone in clear view of everyone,’ Bannon remarks. ‘There’s no way I believe this narrative.’
Media figures have called on the Trump administration to provide a transparent and full review of Kirk’s assassination
Media figures across the political spectrum have called on the Trump administration to provide a transparent and full review of the details surrounding Kirk’s assassination.
President Donald Trump and other senior members of his administration, blamed the ‘radical left’ in the immediate aftermath of Kirk’s death.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox claimed that Robinson was allegedly motivated to murder Kirk in cold blood because of his ‘leftist ideology.’
FBI Director Kash Patel said the agency was reviewing a Discord group chat, where Robinson allegedly admitted to murdering Kirk.
Patel noted that all members of Robinson’s online chat will be investigated.
Bannon has also revealed the administration is considering a variety of executive actions, including labeling Antifa a domestic terrorist organization.
‘The biggest thing is to broaden the assassination investigation from a single murder to the broader conspiracy,’ Bannon said.
‘If we are going to go to war, let’s go to war.’
