The Kork murder sparked fear, the U.S. political circle "everyone is at risk", the White House wants an additional $58 million security budget

U.S. Conservative activist and political ally of President Trump, Charlie Kirk, was shot and killed at the age of 31 during a speech at Utah Valley University in Olem, Utah. According to Central Television News, U.S. State Governor Spencer Cox said on September 13, local time, that Taylor Robinson, the suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk, was "deeply inspired by leftist thought."

Taylor Robinson was a "model student" with no connection to the word "violence".He scored a high school GPA and received a scholarship to the Utah State University, and was a "4.0 full score student" and a teenager "clean" in the eyes of his family and neighbors. His mother wrote on social media: "His choices are endless."

According to police, Taylor Robinson is now detained in a Utah County prison, without bail, and under special surveillance. Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray said he is expected to file official charges on Tuesday.

Robinson is also expected to appear in court for the first time on Tuesday.According to a Public Safety Assessment Report submitted to a Utah court, Robinson has no precedent and no history of violent crime.


Suspect Taylor Robinson is now in prison in Utah County.

The FBI refused to discuss:

The motive is mysterious.

So far, FBI officials have refused to discuss Robinson's background, political orientation, or possible motives, saying the investigation is still ongoing and we believe we have detained the right suspect," a FBI spokesman said, "but we are still trying to fully understand who he is and why he acted."

Regarding the motive for Robinson’s murder, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said, “It’s very clear to us and the investigators that he’s a man deeply instilled in leftist ideology.”The governor also revealed that one of Robinson’s relatives told investigators that Robinson “has become more politized in recent years” and at a recent family dinner with another relative “talked about why he doesn’t like him (Koker) and the views he holds.”


In 2021, a mother posted a photo of Robinson in her dormitory on social media.

The evidence found on the scene also appears to support this claim. On the shell found by the police, the words “Hey, fascist! take it” and the Italian anti-fascist song “Oh, goodbye friends” are engraved.

Public records, however, show that Robinson himself is registered as a non-partisan and his parents are registered Republicans.

According to reports, in the eyes of relatives, Robinson's roommate, Lance Twiggs, was the "horse horse" in the family, "choosing a completely different way of life."

In collaboration with the investigation after the murder, the roommate showed investigators chat software messages from a contact named "Taylor."According to a court oath, the messages referred to a gun's "connection point," instructions for retrieving and hiding weapons, and stated that "they had changed clothes."

The next one is you!”

U.S. political circles after the murder

But for the entire American society, a deeper question has emerged: Where will the next “Taylor Robinson” emerge from when political discourse is becoming increasingly polarized, and the boundaries between cyber culture and real violence are becoming increasingly blurred?

The American political circle hasly entered a chain reaction triggered by fear: the cancellation of public activities, the addition of security budgets, an atmosphere of “everyone’s self-risk” is spreading.

After the incident, officials and political activists across the U.S. cancelled or delayed public events to re-evaluate and strengthen security measures. Arizona Senator Ruben Galeaga delayed the civil assembly; New York State Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rearranged the weekend rallies. South Carolina Senator Nancy Meis, who is campaigning for governor, said, “We will not hold any public events in the near future to better control more stringent security measures.”

According to a White House official, the Trump administration is asking Congress to add $58 million in security budgets to strengthen security efforts in the administrative and judicial sectors. U.S. House Speaker Johnson announced in September that House members have faced 14,000 threats since this year, a record high since U.S. Congressional Police began recording the data a few years ago.

New Jersey MP Jeff Van Drew said he had received a threatening phone call less than an hour after Kirk was murdered and the other person told him “the next one is you.”
