SHOCK Alleged Details About Lance Twiggs and Tyler Robinson's Life

"I wish at least like antivaxx wasn't protected under freedom of speech because it's speech that actively harms people."

Discord messages from 2020 show Tyler Robinson arguing that anti-vaccine speech should not be protected by the First Amendment because it 'actively harms people.' Four years later, in July 2024, Robinson mocked 'snowflake liberals' who 'can't shoot straight,' and in September 2025 he assassinated Charlie Kirk, later explaining that 'some hate can't be negotiated out.'

About this episode

The Megyn Kelly Show examined a bombshell report by YouTuber Tom Swanson about Tyler Robinson, who assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk in September 2025, and his roommate and romantic partner Lance Twigs. Swanson claims an anonymous friend who knew both men for six years provided Discord archives, photos from their apartment, and extensive details about their relationship and the months leading up to the shooting. The source describes how Twigs, who came out as transgender, allegedly took black market hormone replacement therapy and became increasingly erratic, exhibiting manic episodes including staying awake for days, making disturbing drawings while giggling manically, conducting bizarre experiments, and having violent tantrums that Robinson tried to manage. The friend claims Twigs consumed extreme amounts of alcohol and used LSD, DMT, and mushrooms. The report includes archived Discord messages dating to 2020 showing Robinson advocating against First Amendment protection for anti-vaccine speech, then later mocking liberal gun control advocates after the Trump assassination attempt in 2024, before ultimately shooting Kirk in 2025 and confessing via Discord that some hate cannot be negotiated out. The messages also contain a disturbing unverified allegation about Twigs making statements about wanting to abuse a young relative. Kelly notes the FBI has confirmed Twigs is cooperating as an essential witness and is not a suspect. The court has kept video testimony from Twigs sealed despite media objections, making this friend account one of the only detailed sources about the pair's relationship dynamics and mental states before the shooting.
