Utah Gov. Spencer Cox told NBC News' Kristen Welker on Sunday that while the suspect in Charlie Kirk's slaying came from a conservative-leaning household, "his ideology was very different than his family."
The alleged gunman, Tyler Robinson, was taken into custody by the FBI late Thursday evening. Robinson, 22, implicated himself in the shooting to a family member, who told a family friend, who then alerted authorities.
"We can confirm that again, according to family and people that we're interviewing, he does come from a conservative family," Cox said on Meet the Press. "But his ideology was very different than his family. And so that's part of it." |

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade issued an apology on Sunday over a remark he made earlier in the week about homeless people and crime on the air.
Kilmeade made the comment during a discussion on Wednesday's edition of "Fox and Friends" about the murder of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska, a case that has become a flashpoint for Republicans and President Trump's efforts to crack down on crime.
After Fox host Lawrence Jones said of the homeless population "a lot of them don't want to take the programs or get the help that is necessary, you can't give them a choice. Either you take the resources that we're gonna give you, or you're going to be locked up in jail."

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) said Sunday that conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated Wednesday, "said some very inflammatory things" but "also said some other things about forgiveness."
"Charlie said some very inflammatory things, and some — in some corners of the web that's all people have heard," Cox told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union."
"But he also said some other things about forgiveness," he added. "He said — He said some amazing things about when things get dark, putting down our phones, reading scripture, going to church, talking to our neighbors. He said that we have to engage, and that's what I appreciate most about Charlie Kirk." |

| Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said the Trump administration is not providing the "leadership that we need to bring this country together" after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot last week.
During an appearance on NBC's "Meet The Press," Buttigieg was asked about President Trump's video he posted on Truth Social after announcing Kirk's death, where he said his administration "will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity, and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it."
Buttigieg responded that the White House is not doing what it can to "bring this country together." |

Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) will not run for re-election in 2026, he told ABC News on Sunday.
McCaul, 63, has represented Texas' 10th Congressional District, which spans from the Houston suburbs to Austin, since 2005. He also chaired the House Homeland Security and House Foreign Affairs Committees from January 2013 to January 2019 and from January 2023 to January of this year, respectively.
"It's been an honor to serve for over two decades in the Congress," McCaul told Martha Raddatz on ABC News' This Week. "I'm looking now for a new challenge. I'm going to serve the remainder of my term. But I'm looking for a new challenge in the same space that would be national security, foreign policy, but just in a different realm."
