US EditionFury as 'ABC News' Reporter Matt Gutman Calls Texts From Charlie Kirk Assassination Suspect Tyler Robinson to Transgender Lover 'Very Touching'
Matthew Gutman expressed regret for describing the suspected assassin's text messages as "touching" and affirmed his condemnation of the murder committed by Tyler Robinson.
- On September 17, 2025, ABC News reporter Matt Gutman apologized for calling text messages between Charlie Kirk's accused assassin Tyler Robinson and his transgender boyfriend 'very touching' after Kirk's murder.
- The apology followed uproar from conservatives who said Gutman romanticized Robinson, who faces multiple charges including aggravated murder and whose texts were read at a Utah press conference by County Attorney Jeff Gray on September 16.
- Gutman explained he sought to highlight the jarring contrast between Kirk’s cold-blooded assassination in front of thousands and the intimate, disturbing texts showing Robinson’s affectionate language calling his partner 'my love'.
- Gutman stated, 'There should be zero doubt,' unequivocally condemning the horrific crime and the resulting pain to Kirk's family, witnesses at Utah Valley University, and the millions Kirk inspired.
- The controversy underscores tensions around media coverage of political violence, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Fox host Will Cain criticizing Gutman, while prosecutors seek the death penalty against Robinson.
