Speaking to correspondent Brian Entin on NewsNation Live with nichole Berlie,she said Robinson did not voluntarily come forward to investigators,was brought in by police,and only surrendered items when asked. She said Twiggs kept a low profile after the slaying and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >received temporary protective detail amid threats<\/a> but is now staying with family. The family member referenced an alleged text from Robinson to Twiggs reading, &#8220;I had enough of his hatred,&#8221; and Utah County officials say Robinson&#8217;s parents reported he had become more pro-gay and trans-rights in the period before the killing. She dismissed alternative theories about other suspects, asserting police have the right person.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A female family member of the self-described transgender boyfriend of Charlie Kirk&rsquo;s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson gave an interview to NewsNation that aired on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Lance Twiggs is a male and was dating Robinson at the time of Kirk&rsquo;s Sept. 10 assassination at Utah Valley University.
