I’m not buying this’: Maga dismisses claims Kirk assassin acted alone
Steve Bannon claims truth behind conservative podcaster’s death is ‘far deeper and far more malignant’
Allies of Donald Trump have dismissed claims Charlie Kirk was killed by a lone assassin.
Senior figures in the Maga movement believe Tyler Robinson, the student charged with Kirk’s murder, is part of a wider conspiracy involving a Left-wing terrorist network, and that authorities need to widen the scope of their investigation.
The FBI has suggested suspect Mr Robinson may have worked with others, although no one else has yet been charged in connection with the crime.
Kash Patel, the FBI director, told senators on Tuesday that the bureau was investigating “who, if anyone, was involved as an accomplice”.
Steve Bannon, Mr Trump’s former chief strategist, claimed that Kirk’s death was “not a simple murder” and that the truth was “far deeper and far more malignant”.
There’s a vast conspiracy at the back of this,” Mr Bannon said on his War Room podcast on Monday.
“I am absolutely not buying this [theory],” he added.
Antifa needs to be designated as a domestic terrorist organisation,” he continued, referencing the radical Left-wing organisation that has been linked to recent attacks on immigration detention centres.
Media reports emerged shortly after Kirk’s death that the ammunition used by the assassin was engraved with expressions of transgender and Antifa “ideology”, but authorities later clarified this may have been a misunderstanding.
It later emerged one of the bullets was engraved with the phrase: “Hey fascist! Catch” and “Bella ciao,” a reference to a Second World War Italian antifascist song.
Mr Bannon went on to suggest that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) may have been involved in the incident by allegedly funding to Antifa.
He doubled down on the comments on Wednesday, telling Politico: “The biggest thing is to broaden the assassination investigation from a single murder to the broader conspiracy. If we are going to go to war, let’s go to war.”
