Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson sneered that his “doppelganger” was the one who gunned down the conservative activist in a Discord chat with his friends after his picture was put out by the feds, a report said.
The 22-year-old accused assassin’s chats with his pals lit up on the social media messaging platform after the FBI released grainy images of a lanky man clad in dark clothes in their hunt for Kirk’s killer, the New York Times reported.
One of his virtual buddies noticed the similarity and tagged Robinson in a post with the FBI images, writing ‘wya’ — short for ‘where you at?’ — alongside a skull emoji.
“Tyler killed Charlie!!!” another user wrote, the outlet reported.
Robinson – accused of blasting Kirk in the neck with one fatal bullet – shot back within a minute, insisting it was a look-alike trying to “get me in trouble.”
One pal even joked that they should try to get the $100,000 reward.
“Whatever you do, don’t go to a mcdonalds anytime soon,” one pal said in a nod to where Manhattan CEO killer Luigi Mangione was nabbed, the paper said.
