The original statement inquires about Tyler Robinson's parents' views on his political beliefs. According to multiple sources, including ^[1], ^[2], and ^[1], Tyler Robinson's parents are registered Republicans, and his family has a conservative background ^{[1] [2]}. However, none of these sources provide a direct quote from his parents regarding his political views.

Additionally, Utah Governor Spencer Cox mentioned that Tyler Robinson has a 'leftist ideology' ^{[4] [2]}. It is also reported that Tyler Robinson had become more politically engaged in recent years and expressed a strong dislike for Charlie Kirk and his views ^{[3] [2]}.
