According to a report from the New York Post, investigators are digging deeper than just the accused shooter; they’re looking at potential ties to radical leftist groups. The probe is targeting both local outfits in Utah and online networks, including users on the gaming platform Steam.
One organization in particular, Armed Queers SLC, is drawing attention after it suddenly pulled its Instagram account following Kirk’s assassination. Officials now want to know: Was this group merely cheering from the sidelines, or did it know more than it's letting on?
Meanwhile, a slew of disturbing — though as yet unverified — social media posts about Kirk are raising questions about whether some people online may have known about the assassination before it happened on Sept. 10.
Taken together, they leave a trail of breadcrumbs for investigators who are trying to determine whether Robinson acted all on his own, or had accomplices.
Utah group Armed Queens SLC, whose logo features two high-powered rifle rounds similar to the one that struck Kirk, hosted a lecture on “queer resistance” at the University of Utah in September, 2023 — around 45 miles from Utah Valley University where the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally lost his life.
Young America’s Foundation obtained flyers advertising the event, which was hosted in partnership with Mecha de U of U, a group that openly brands itself as a “leftist student organization.” The imagery is straight out of a revolutionary playbook: a young woman in ammo belts holding an AK-47, finger poised on the trigger, framed by a hammer and sickle and a rainbow flag. Across the bottom, the words “agitate, educate, organize” drive home the radical message.
In an interview with Voyage Utah last year, a representative for Armed Queers SLC said in response to a question about risk-taking, “Our commitment to something much bigger than ourselves, to people’s struggles against racism, transphobia, and capitalism, means much more to us than any risk.”
Details have emerged in recent days that point to Robinson being radicalized by far-left politics and a pernicious fringe internet culture.
If there’s one thing this investigation tells us, it’s that the left’s reckless embrace of political extremism can no longer be dismissed as fringe theatrics. The FBI’s widening probe suggests that Kirk’s murder may not be an isolated tragedy but part of a darker pattern where radical groups operate with tacit approval from a culture that excuses their violence. Whether investigators uncover direct coordination or not, the lesson remains the same: America cannot afford to look the other way. Exposing and dismantling these networks is the only way to ensure that Charlie Kirk’s assassination is the last of its kind. |
