Social media sucks. And lies. Again and again...


This piece is from The Political Insider - A viral claim recently surfaced suggesting that Matt Robinson, father of Tyler Robinson, rejected a $1.15 million reward for information leading to the capture of Charlie Kirk’s killer.
This rumor has caused a stir across social media, but the facts tell a different story.
The claim originated from a Facebook post on a page called "Cowboys Fan Hub." The post featured a photo of Charlie Kirk and his father, paired with a fabricated quote allegedly from Matt Robinson. It spread rapidly, fueling public debate. However, no credible sources have confirmed that Robinson made any such statement.
In reality, Matt Robinson is eligible to receive the reward. The U.S. State Department's Rewards for Justice program allows family members to claim rewards if their information directly aids in solving an investigation. The final decision on whether Robinson qualifies for the reward rests with U.S. authorities, based on the information he provides.
While the viral rumor continues to circulate, it’s important to clarify that there is no solid evidence indicating that Matt Robinson has turned down the reward. Instead, the situation reflects how easily misinformation can gain momentum online. As of now, the reward remains unclaimed, and the truth stands clear: Matt Robinson has not publicly declined the $1.15 million offer.

  1. If he claims the reward, even if he immediately donates it to the Kirk family, I assume he'll be on the hook for the taxes on that million plus .
