The assassination of Charlie Kirk continues to widen in scope, with federal investigators now probing whether parts of the online world may have had advance knowledge of the attack.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, the FBI is investigating at least seven social media accounts whose posts referenced Kirk — in some cases by name, in others by date — prior to his Sept. 10 murder. Screenshots of those posts, flagged for the bureau and now archived, suggest disturbing foreknowledge, though investigators have not established any direct coordination with alleged gunman Tyler Robinson.

One post from Sept. 3 read: “itd be funny if someone like charlie kirk got shot on september 10th LMAO.” Another, posted a full month earlier on Aug. 6, declared cryptically: “september 10th will be a very interesting day.” When Kirk was assassinated on that very date, the account followed up with: “I plead the fifth.”
The rot runs deeper. Another account under investigation reposted the quip while noting it had “SAW TYLER JUNE 30” in its handle — and that account appears to follow Robinson’s roommate, Lance Twiggs, on TikTok. Twiggs, a biological male transitioning to female, was reportedly Robinson’s partner and has cooperated with law enforcement since the shooting.
They’re going to do this at his funeral and then Democrats are going to keep asking why we aren’t just unifying. https://t.co/u4tO9qKCOU

At least some of the accounts under scrutiny are linked to LGBT or transgender subcultures. One user styled themselves as “Osamu bin Tezuka” under the handle @fujoshincel, while a TikTok video posted the night before the assassination ominously warned: “charles james kirk…does not know what’s coming tomorrow. This isn’t a threat. It’s a promise.”
The FBI is already investigating whether organized pro-transgender groups knew of Robinson’s plan in advance. That includes Armed Queers SLC, a Utah-based group whose logo prominently features rifle ammunition.

The picture forming is deeply unsettling. On one hand, it could represent nothing more than grotesque coincidence — online edgelords indulging in morbid jokes. On the other, the digital trail raises the possibility of a subculture that at least cheered, if not abetted, political violence. Either scenario underscores the toxic convergence of internet radicalization, identity politics, and hatred directed at conservatives.
The FBI now faces a critical test: will it expose the networks of extremism that incubated this rhetoric, or will it look the other way because the perpetrators come from a constituency the left treats as untouchable?
