Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said that the suspected assassin of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk left behind a note, and confirmed reports the suspect held left-wing political views.

“Clearly a leftist ideology,” Cox told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Cox said that the information obtained “comes from the people around him, his family members and friends,” referring to the viewpoints held by suspect Tyler Robinson.
