Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old arrested in the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, is a puzzle wrapped in contradictions. 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 family of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old student accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, is reeling after his grandmother broke her silence, insisting the FBI must have the wrong man.

Robinson was taken into custody late Thursday night in Washington, Utah, after a day-and-a-half manhunt. Investigators say his own father, Matt Robinson, recognized him in surveillance photos and alerted authorities. The arrest stunned not only the nation, but Robinson’s 69-year-old grandmother, Debbie, who described her grandson as a “wonderful child” incapable of violence. “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump,” she told the Daily Mail. “Most of my family are Republican. Tyler is the shyest person.

He has never, ever spoken politics to me at all. I’m just so confused.” Debbie painted a picture of Robinson as a quiet young man, reserved and uninterested in politics. She said she had never seen him with a gun. “I don’t think he ever shot a gun, to tell you the truth. He doesn’t hunt, he’s never liked anything like that.

There’s just no way he could have been that good of a shot,” she insisted.

“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.
