Suspect's high school friend says Robinson was the only 'leftist' in a family of 'very hard' Republicans
Anna Betts
In a phone interview on Friday, one of Tyler Robinson's high school friends, who asked to remain anonymous, said that the suspect was "pretty left on everything" and was "the only member of his family that was really leftist".
"The rest of his family was very hard
Republican," the friend said.
Around sophomore year, the friend said, Robinson became more extreme in his political views and would "always just be ranting and arguing about them".
