As we highlighted yesterday, ABC News reporter Matt Gutman single handedly sunk the legacy media to a new low by turning Tyler Robinson’s cold messages confessing to the murder of Charlie Kirk into some sort of demented love drama.
Gutman described the messages, in which the suspected assassin confessed to Kirk’s assassination to his transgender lover and debated how he would retrieve the weapon he used, as “touching.”
Eveyone who saw it was completely disgusted.
But not surprised.
You heard cold hearted messages from a sociopath, describing how he hoped to escape justice from his crime and chose to focus on the gay romance.

Now, 24 hours too late, Gutman has read the room and attempted to apologise.
2. I deeply regret that my words did not make that clear.
— Matt Gutman (@mattgutmanABC) September 17, 2025
But let there be zero doubt here: I unequivocally condemn this horrific crime and the pain it caused Charlie Kirk's family, those who were forced to witness it at UVU, and the millions of people he inspired.
Could it possibly have been the hundreds of accounts of people being fired for speaking positively about the assassination that spurred Gutman into this regret?
Hope you get fired. Have a nice day.

Questions remain.
Matt, can you please explain why the video I found shows you making up text messages? https://t.co/yNyICrsur0

There was a better way to set the record straight.
Go on air and read the full text conversation verbatim. NO one believes your apology.https://t.co/gGA98199XT

No one’s buying it.
Nah bro this was you the whole time yesterday and we were all Walton Goggins sitting across the table, it was really weird and no apologies or dissembling is going to shake that feeling pic.twitter.com/sNnzkLCm7W

Sorry. Not sorry.
You romanticized a killer and you knew exactly where you were going with it. Don’t try to walk back your words now. You’re just as demented as he is. Sorry not sorry.

Many pointed out that this guy has a track record.
@mattgutmanABC is the same clown who was suspended for his reporting on Kobe Bryant's death

Remember. Gutman was the one who reported the Trayvon story and put the lower third graphic over the back of Zimmermans head in the story which hid the extent of Zimmermans injuries and bloodied head. We didn't find out til the trial.

We can all see exactly what Gutman was doing.
We heard EXACTLY what you said. It was extremely clear that you were attempting to romanticize the assassin and his boyfriend. You’re beyond disgusting. pic.twitter.com/elrKeUBbWs

No amount of wriggling is gonna get him out of this.
You did no such thing.

You twisted the assassination of Charlie Kirk into a gay man "defending" his gay lover. You made it seem like a bitter love story you freak. You're not going to worm out of this.
Don’t let this go. Keep asking ABC News what they’re going to do about it.

This was an LGBTQueer-mutant murder of a man … as the police in the UK will arrest you for … “upsetting” … the LGBTQueer-mutant community.
The LGBTQueers are now murdering people who “upset” them … with words.
In fact, it appears this website is CANCELING my comments for “upsetting” the LGBTQueer-mutants by labeling them LGBTQueer-mutants. If so, then goodbye. And goodbye Britain. You’re a lost cause. Too bad you don’t have the stones to politely debate my use of the term, as Charlie Kirk would do, but choose instead to just disappear my comments.
Now we all know how the masons love their 3’s so if you take the first letter of dear charlies first and last name which is c=3 and k=11, 3×11=33. Now this is also an emulation of another ‘martyr’ which we all know as george floyd which was born on october 14th 1973 and dear old charlies bday is october 14th 1993. Now what are the chances of that. This lot even tell you to your face, for example candace on a recent charlie vid said that she was a mason at turning point and through up the 666 symbol and most did not give a blind bit of notice to it because she was saying what you wanted to hear. Elon also made an appearance via video link at the london wearing the all seeing eye on his black tshirt telling the crowd they need to fight now….lol. Those who say they are awake and truthers but think the charlie assassination is real, you are not awake and you are still in the matrix. None of the people on the screen they push to you are on your side and are there to keep you engaged with only 80pc of the truth and remember Jesus is and always will be king.
..tha’s because Gutman wishes he could’ve been Robinson’s ‘other half’. forget the MsM..
