Kristin Robbins, a Minnesota state legislator, addressed recent events in a series of tweets on October 13, 2025. Her posts focused on condemning threats against Turning Point USA (TPUSA) at the University of Minnesota Duluth and expressing gratitude for the release of hostages connected to the October 7th atrocities.

In her first post at 04:07 UTC, Robbins wrote: "These threats against @TPUSA at @UMNDuluth should be condemned by everyone. Threats of, or acts, of political violence are antithetical to a free society and American values.

I hope law enforcement finds and prosecutes those responsible to the full extent of the law." The statement came amid reports of threats targeting the TPUSA chapter at UMN Duluth.

Later that day, Robbins addressed the release of hostages, stating at 12:22 UTC: "Thank you, @realDonaldTrump for getting all living hostages released after two years of horror! Praying for healing for them, their families and everyone impacted by the atrocities of October 7th. Also praying for the release of all deceased hostages. #BringThemHomeNow"

Shortly after, at 12:25 UTC, she added: "So thankful! All living hostages have been freed! Thank you, @POTUS!"

Kristin Robbins serves as a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives. TPUSA is a conservative student organization with chapters across many U.S. college campuses. The University of Minnesota Duluth has previously seen debates and protests related to political groups' activities. The release of hostages referenced by Robbins follows prolonged international attention to individuals held captive since the attacks on October 7th.
