Fact check: Does tyler robinson live with a transgender partner

Checked on September 13, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The original statement claims that Tyler Robinson lives with a transgender partner. According to [1], [2], and [3], this claim appears to be true, as these sources report that Tyler Robinson, the suspected shooter of Charlie Kirk, was living with a transgender partner who is now cooperating with the FBI [1]. [2] confirms that Tyler Robinson had a live-in transgender partner, and provides additional details about the partner and the investigation [2]. Furthermore, [3] reveals that the transgender partner of Tyler Robinson is named Lance Twiggs, and provides more information about Twiggs and the relationship with Robinson [3]. However, other sources, such as [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8], do not provide information about Tyler Robinson's partner or do not mention him living with a transgender partner [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key point to consider is that not all sources agree on the details of Tyler Robinson's personal life, with some sources not mentioning a transgender partner [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. [1] and [1] support the claim that Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner, but other sources are silent on this issue [1]. It is also important to note that the sources that do report on Tyler Robinson's partner provide different levels of detail, with [3] providing the most specific information about the partner, Lance Twiggs [3]. The fact that some sources do not mention a transgender partner, while others do, highlights the need for further verification of this information.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be considered potentially misleading, as it presents the claim that Tyler Robinson lives with a transgender partner as a fact, without acknowledging the inconsistencies and lack of information in some sources [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]. The sources that support the claim, such as [1], [2], and [3], may benefit from increased website traffic and attention due to the sensational nature of the story [1] [2] [3]. On the other hand, sources that do not mention a transgender partner, such as [4] and [6], may be seen as more neutral or cautious in their reporting [4] [6]. Ultimately, it is crucial to approach this information with a critical eye and consider multiple sources before forming a conclusion [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8].
