Trump Jr. Plays Courtroom Legal Analyst While Roommate Reveals Bullet-Dreaming Killer
KEY POINTS
- •Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing in a Utah courthouse drew major GOP figures including Trump Jr. and Senator Mike Lee this week.
- •Robinson’s roommate testified he admitted guilt and spoke about engraving bullets before the fatal shooting at Utah Valley University.
- •Meanwhile, Candace Owens and Ben Shapiro publicly feuded amid an online wildfire of conspiracy theories after Charlie Kirk's tragic death.
In the Utah courthouse drama of the decade, the alleged shooter Tyler Robinson tries to dodge truth like a failed TikTok trend. After he fatally shot Turning Point USA’s founder Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University last Sept. 10, Robinson confessed erratically to roommate Lance Twiggs — who spilled details about engraved bullets and a post-shooting gun retrieval mission. Meanwhile, the courtroom is packed with political who's-who: Mike Lee, Trump Jr., Jack Posobiec, and Rush Limbaugh’s widow Kathryn Adams Limbaugh all bearing witness. Trump Jr. even moonlights as legal analyst, trash-talking the defense on Fox News for their 'stall or hide evidence' routine. To top it all off, Candace Owens is busy feuding with Ben Shapiro over who’s poisoning brains more effectively. The GOP midterm convention in Dallas might turn into a Charlie Kirk memorial, pending a vague Rick Gorka 'stay tuned.' If politics were a reality show, this courtroom drama just delivered its season finale.
