JD Vance is about to screw up a murder trial.

Vice President JD Vance said he has no doubt accused murderer Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk — but he still wonders if more people were “directly involved” in the slaying.

Vance shared his thoughts Saturday in an interview with The Daily Wire’s Mary Margaret Olohan.

“I’m always going to wonder,” Vance said. “I’m always going to wonder what was said and how many contacts [Robinson] had beforehand. By the way, it doesn’t mean that [Robinson’s] any less guilty. But do I wonder if there are other people who are more directly involved in Charlie’s murder? Absolutely, because I don’t think that it’s possible for a young man to get radicalized like that without somebody encouraging him, whether informally or formally.”

Vance continued, “I think there are a lot of people with blood on their hands in the case of Charlie Kirk, but of course, the person most directly who has blood on their hands is Tyler Robinson.”

But if he wants to posit scenarios, I know of one guy who couldn't wait to make a move on the widow. Maybe that guy should be investigated.
