CNN contributor Montel Williams has reached a new low, describing Charlie Kirk’s adult alleged assassin as a “love-torn child.”
Williams was attempting to humanize and defend the accused murderer, painting him as a sympathetic character, to deflect from the fact that he was motivated by left-wing extremism.
The depraved political commentator also questioned if the killer was motivated by his father not approving of him being romantically involved with a transgender person.
The heinous and reprehensible comments were made during a discussion on Tuesday’s CNN NewsNight.
“There are people who are trying to pigeonhole this as a leftist thing and a right thing and what we’re really talking about,” Williams began. “Hear me, because I’m going to throw you when I say this, we’re talking about a love-torn child, a kid.”
Tyler Robinson, the accused assassin, is 22 years old.
“This is probably his first real relationship,” Williams continued. “And somebody was disparaging the person that he loved. He sat on that building for 30 minutes before he took the shot. Why do you wait until the first word trans came up? Then he took the shot. I think he could hear it.”
Williams didn’t stop there, “I think he also — I don’t believe he was motivated politically. I think this was motivated emotionally. I think this was a emotionally stunted person who literally, when I say it this way, just hear me, tried to defend his significant other, not trying to defend some ideology.”

The shameless leftist added that his father’s potential disapproval of the relationship may have been a contributing factor.
Williams goes onto question whether the alleged suspect in Charlie Kirk’s killing may have been put on edge because his father may have disapproved of his relationship with a trans person.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, ABC News correspondent Matt Gutman had to issue an apology after fawningly referring to the “touching” love notes exchanged between Kirk’s cold-blooded assassin.
This was a targeted attack rooted in leftist hatred, not some Romeo and Juliet fairy tale. The American people deserve better political commentators than these monstrous liars.
