His grandmother paints a picture of a shy, quiet young man who never spoke politics and comes from a family deeply loyal to the MAGA movement. Yet, evidence suggests Robinson had grown increasingly political in recent years, expressing disdain for Kirk and engaging with radical messaging. Debbie Robinson, 69, Tyler's grandmother, is adamant about the family's political identity. Speaking to the Daily Mail, she insisted that the Robinson family is staunchly Republican and supportive of Donald Trump.

"My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump," she said, adding that most of her family members share the same allegiance. "I don't know any single one who's a Democrat," she told The Independent, emphasizing her confusion over the violence linked to her grandson. Tyler's father, Matt Robinson, 48, runs a family construction business in Washington, Utah, and is a registered Republican. His mother, Amber Robinson, 44, is a licensed social worker and also registered as a Republican. Both parents have hunting licenses, and Amber's Facebook posts describe one of Tyler's brothers as a "gun toting, cowboy loving, brilliant kid," as reported by The Daily Beast. Despite this, Tyler himself is reportedly registered as an unaffiliated voter and has not participated in the last two general elections.

His grandmother insists he has never been in trouble, saying, "He doesn't hunt, he's never liked anything like that. I know he doesn't own any guns," as reported by The Independent. "There's just no way he could have been that good of a shot." She also described him as a "very shy, good kid," and claimed that she "never" heard him talking politics.

The grandmother of Tyler Robinson — the 22-year-old charged with assassinating Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk — is speaking out for the first time, insisting there is “no way” her grandson carried out... Debbie Robinson, 69, told the Daily Mail that her grandson was “quiet” and “shy” and had no interest in politics, despite coming from a family that openly supported President Donald J. Trump. “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump,” Robinson said. “Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.

I’m just so confused.” Kirk, 31, was gunned down on Tuesday during an outdoor TPUSA event, The American Comeback Tour, at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. More than 3,000 people had gathered when shots rang out, killing the conservative leader in front of a stunned crowd. According to law enforcement sources, it was Robinson’s own father, Matt Robinson — a local construction business owner — who first reported his son to authorities. The arrest of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, the prime suspect in the shocking assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, has shaken the nation. But in a stunning twist, Robinson’s grandmother has broken her silence — and her words are raising serious questions about the FBI’s case.

Speaking to reporters, she described her grandson as “a shy, quiet, and studious boy who never once caused trouble in his life.” She insisted the authorities have the wrong man, calling it a “case... “Tyler has never handled a gun in his life. He doesn’t hunt, he doesn’t even like weapons. There is no way he could have made that shot,” she said firmly. According to her, Tyler spent his life buried in books and computers, not politics. While the FBI paints him as a radicalized lone wolf, his grandmother argued the opposite: “He never talked about politics with us.

He’s not some extremist. He’s a wonderful child.” She also highlighted the family’s Republican roots, even noting they supported Donald Trump. But she insisted Tyler never showed any passion for activism — making it hard for her to believe he suddenly turned into the figure the FBI now accuses him of being. Tyler Robinson, 22, the man arrested in connection with the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, comes from a MAGA family, his grandmother has revealed. Although MAGA figureheads have been quick to point fingers at the left for Kirk’s death, Tyler’s grandmother, Debbie Robinson, 69, insisted that they come from a family of Trump supporters.

She spoke with the Daily Mail on Friday after news of Robinson’s arrest broke. “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump,” Debbie told the outlet. “Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.” According to the outlet, Robinson’s father, Matt, 48, was the one to turn Tyler into the authorities after he confessed to the grisly crime. Debbie has not been able to get in touch with her son since news of her grandson’s arrest went public.

“I’m just so confused,” Debbie said of her grandson’s arrest. “[Tyler] is the shyest person,” she said. “He has never, ever spoke politics to me at all.”
