ABC News chief national correspondent Matt Gutman is clarifying remarks he made about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer, Tyler Robinson. "Yesterday I tried to underscore the jarring contrast between this cold blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk - a man who dedicated his life to public dialogue - and the personal, disturbing texts read aloud by the Utah County Attorney at the press conference," Gutman, 47, shared via Instagram on Wednesday, September 17. "I deeply regret that my words did not make that clear." The journalist - who reports for all ABC News broadcasts and platforms, including World News Tonight With David Muir, Good Morning America and The View - also condemned the shooting of Kirk. The Turning Point USA cofounder was speaking at an event on the campus of Utah Valley University on September 10 when he was shot and killed. He died at the age of 31 and is survived by his wife, Erika Kirk (née Frantzve), and their two children.

"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."

"It was very touching in a way that I think many of us didn't expect," Gutman said during his report. "A very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who is transitioning, calling him 'my love' and 'I want to protect you my love.'" Gutman continued, "It was this duality of someone who the attorney said not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case and then, on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So a very interesting, riveting press conference."
