NEW: Discord Accused Of ‘Covering Up’ For Suspected Kirk Assassin After Bombshell ‘Confession’ Emerges

A shocking new development has emerged in the investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk, raising new questions about the role of the online platform Discord. Reports indicate that Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old suspect charged with murdering the conservative activist at Utah Valley University on September 10, confessed to the crime in a private Discord chat just hours before turning himself in. If this account is accurate, it directly contradicts

Discord’s own public statements and has fueled accusations that the company attempted to conceal critical evidence. According to reporting first cited by the Washington Post and echoed by other outlets, Robinson told members of his Discord group that he was responsible for Kirk’s death.

Roughly two hours before surrendering to authorities, Robinson allegedly wrote, “Hey guys, I have bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday. im sorry for all of this. im surrendering through a sheriff friend in a few moments. thanks for all the good times and laughs.”

The message appears to be a straightforward admission of guilt, delivered in his own words, and if authenticated would amount to a bombshell piece of evidence in the ongoing case. Discord, however, has denied that such a confession was ever made on its platform.

The company has stated publicly that it identified Robinson’s account, deleted it for policy violations, and shared relevant information with law enforcement. Executives have gone further, insisting there is no evidence that Robinson used Discord to plan, promote, or glorify the attack. That stance now faces backlash in light of the reported confession. If Robinson did in fact post the message, Discord’s denial would mean that either the company was misinformed about the contents of its own platform or deliberately attempted to obscure the truth.

Fox News correspondent David Spunt reported on air Monday that the confession was described in the Washington Post’s coverage. “The Washington Post says that Tyler Robinson confessed,” Spunt told viewers. “We are working to independently confirm this as well.”

Utah Governor Spencer Cox and other officials have previously confirmed that Robinson’s online activity is a key focus of investigators, with reports that messages linked to the planning of the attack may also have circulated online. “Investigators identified an individual as the roommate of Robinson. Investigators interviewed that roommate who stated that his roommate made a joke on Discord,” Governor Cox said.

“He showed several messages and allowed investigators to take photos of the screen. These photos consisted of various messages, including content of messages between the phone contact of Tyler and Robinson’s roommate’s device. The content of these messages included messages affiliated with the contact Tyler, stated the need to retrieve the rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to visually watching the area where a rifle was left and a message referring to having left the rifle wrapped in a towel,” Cox added.

The discovery of DNA evidence at the scene, including on a towel wrapped around the rifle and a screwdriver tied to the rooftop where the shot was fired, secured Robinson’s arrest after a 33-hour manhunt. But the revelation of a deleted online confession, if true, complicates the narrative and points directly at Discord’s handling of the case.

Discord has drawn a sharp distinction between messages that were firsthand, such as the alleged confession, and those that may have been secondhand accounts of notes or conversations that happened elsewhere. The timing is critical, since any messages sent before the shooting would show prior intent and raise questions about missed opportunities to prevent the attack.

Conservatives have long accused Big Tech companies of bias and selective enforcement, claiming that platforms bend the rules depending on the politics of the figures involved. The idea that Discord may have deleted a confession from the suspect in the killing of a prominent conservative leader has fueled suspicions that these companies are not only failing in moderation but also actively working to shield themselves from accountability.
