Why Everyone Doubts The Charlie Kirk Murder Texts
In a rare moment of cross-political unity, the recent release of text messages in the assassination case of Charlie Kirk has drawn widespread skepticism. The chat logs, allegedly between the suspect, Tyler Robinson, and his partner, Lance Twiggs, have been met with disbelief from commentators on the far-right, the far-left, and even artificial intelligence.
The Unveiling of Controversial Texts
Prosecutors presented the text exchanges as key evidence, suggesting they reveal Robinson's premeditated plan. According to reports, the messages show Robinson confessing his intent to assassinate Kirk more than a week beforehand. After the shooting, he allegedly expressed fear that his grandfather's rifle would lead police to him and urged Twiggs to delete their entire conversation.
One supposed message from Robinson read, "I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I'm going to take it." Another stated, "You are all I worry about, love."
Despite the prosecution's narrative, the public reaction has been one of overwhelming doubt, with many finding the language and timing of the messages highly suspicious.
A Chorus of Doubt From Left to Right
It isn't every day that figures like Candace Owens, Steve Bannon, and Hasan Piker find common ground, but the alleged texts have created a moment of unusual agreement.
Candace Owens, a friend and former co-worker of Kirk, has been vocal about her suspicions from the beginning, calling the assassination an "organized hit." On her YouTube channel, she stated plainly, "the texts are fake."
Similarly, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon dismissed the logs, remarking, "I'm not buying these text messages... It seems too much like a script. Actually, a bad script."
On the other side of the aisle, socialist streamer Hasan Piker also expressed his skepticism. Responding to a conservative commentator who was also questioning the logs, Piker pointed out the division within the MAGA movement but agreed that the messages seemed suspect.
"i will say the text messages are too perfectly plugging holes for the investigators. unnatural," he wrote.
'Unnatural' and 'Scripted': Why the Messages Feel Fake
The primary criticism from the public centers on the language used in the messages, which many describe as overly formal, stilted, and inauthentic.
One X user, @Imposter_Edits, captured the general sentiment, noting, "they expect us to believe a 20-year-old internet kid speaks like a romantic novelist via text message."
Jay Black, a professional screenwriter, offered his expert opinion on the dialogue.
"The dialog in that supposed Tyler Robinson 'text message exchange' is terrible," Black posted on X. "And, keep in mind, I write Lifetime movies."
The consensus is that the texts read less like a frantic, private conversation and more like a carefully constructed script designed to be read in a courtroom.
Even AI Weighs In With Skepticism
Perhaps the most modern twist in this saga comes from an experiment conducted by X user @EvanAKilgore, who fed the text exchange into ChatGPT and asked for an analysis of its authenticity.
The AI's response echoed human skepticism. According to a screenshot of the conversation, the chatbot concluded that the exchange is "very unlikely" to be real. ChatGPT reportedly reasoned that the messages were "most likely fabricated" because they were excessively detailed, staged, and incriminating. This has only added another layer of intrigue and doubt to a case that continues to captivate and divide public opinion.
