  • She warned about the repeated circulation of the shooting video, comparing constant exposure to 9/11 imagery and questioning its long-term effects on viewers.
  • The interview was recorded a few days after the Sept. 10 assassination at Utah Valley University during a Turning Point USA event.
  • Suspect Tyler Robinson, 22, is in custody and expected to face formal murder charges at a court appearance Tuesday, with officials saying he is not cooperating.
