The media often distorts narratives around tragedy to serve political agendas, as illustrated by the case of Tyler Robinson, the murder of Charlie Kirk. Headlines describe him as “raised Mormon” or “a former member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” framing his strict upbringing as a cause of his violent actions. However, the reality is that Robinson was an “exmo”—a term for those who leave the church and often harbor resentment toward it. Labeling him a Latter-day Saint misrepresents his beliefs and motivations; he had rejected the faith, embracing a radical secular ideology that opposed both Christianity and conservatism.
The distinction between being a member of the church and having left it matters significantly. Full membership requires adherence to church teachings, which Robinson openly refuted by living in a same-sex relationship. This further disqualifies him from being considered a faithful Mormon. His partner, who identifies as transgender, also would not be recognized by the church.
The media’s persistent labeling of Robinson as a Mormon seeks to associate his violent actions with the church and Christianity at large, obscuring the reality of his anti-religious views. This narrative manipulation serves to distract from the underlying ideological currents that drive such actions. For conservatives and Christians, it is crucial to recognize and share the truth: Robinson’s violence stemmed from his rejection of faith, not from it.
