The shocking case of Charlie Kirk’s assassination took another turn this week as Fox News host Jesse Watters used his primetime program to dissect newly released details about a so-called “secret note” left behind by the accused gunman, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson. The note, prosecutors say, provides chilling insight into the suspect’s mindset and his alleged plans leading up to the September 10 tragedy at Utah Valley University.
Watters opened the segment by displaying images of redacted court documents, confirming the existence of a handwritten note seized from Robinson’s bedroom. He described the contents as “dark, disturbing, and premeditated,” telling viewers that the writing left little doubt about the suspect’s intentions. “This wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment act,” Watters said. “It was deliberate. He sat down, he wrote it out, and then he carried it through.”
The note, according to investigators, laid out Robinson’s frustrations and grievances with Kirk’s political presence. Phrases such as “he spreads hate” and “someone has to stop him” were reportedly written alongside references to the conservative activist’s scheduled appearance at Utah Valley University, where Kirk was fatally shot while answering questions from the audience.
Watters emphasized that the note is more than just a piece of paper—it is now a central element of the prosecution’s case. “This note connects intent with action,” he explained. “It shows planning. It shows motive. It’s the kind of evidence that prosecutors dream of because it takes away any ambiguity about what was going through his mind.”
Throughout the segment, Watters questioned how such warning signs could have gone unnoticed. “If this note had been discovered earlier,” he asked, “could this tragedy have been prevented? Could Charlie Kirk still be alive today?” He then turned his focus to broader security concerns at political events, pointing out the growing need for stronger protections for public figures across the country.
Reaction to the segment was immediate. Supporters of Kirk praised Watters for spotlighting the evidence, arguing that it underscores the brutality of the crime and the importance of seeking the harshest penalty. Others, however, criticized the coverage as sensational, warning that the release of such details could further inflame public tensions.
Legal analysts interviewed after the broadcast agreed on one point: the note strengthens the prosecution’s case significantly. “In high-profile cases, intent is often the hardest thing to prove,” said legal expert Laura Chen. “But a written document like this one essentially gives prosecutors a direct window into the suspect’s mind. It will weigh heavily with a jury.”
The revelation also adds to the emotional toll for Kirk’s family and supporters. Erika Kirk, Charlie’s widow, has remained relatively private since the shooting but has expressed gratitude for continued prayers and support. While she has not commented specifically on the note, those close to the family say each new detail makes the tragedy feel fresh again.
Watters closed his segment with a solemn reflection: “This wasn’t just about politics. It was about a young man’s life being cut short, about a family torn apart, and about a nation asking how something like this could happen. That note is a reminder of the darkness that fueled this act—but it’s also a reminder of why justice matters.”
As the trial of Tyler Robinson looms, the “secret note” is expected to remain at the heart of the prosecution’s narrative. It paints a picture of premeditation that could prove decisive in court, and as Watters underscored, it leaves the public with haunting questions about whether warning signs were missed before the tragedy unfolded.
