California Democrat trashed after falsely claiming Kirk suspect is Trump supporter

Published September 13, 2025 11:31pm ET



Rep. Dave Min (D-CA) was slammed on Saturday after he falsely claimed the suspect in Charlie Kirk‘s assassination was “MAGA” and part of what he dubbed the “RADICAL RIGHT.”

Min made the bizarre claim on Friday, the day officials arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the suspect in the killing of Kirk. Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT) has said it is “very clear” Robinson was “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology,” and one family member interviewed by officials said Robinson openly talked about his belief that Kirk was “full of hate and spreading hate.”
