RIP, Charlie Kirk, American Patriot and Friend of Israel
The 31-year-old father of two was murdered at a Utah college on the first stop of a campus tour
Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old father of two and founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed in broad daylight Wednesday at a Utah Valley University event.
The event marked the first stop of Kirk's "American Comeback" campus tour. Sitting under his signature "Prove Me Wrong" tent, Kirk spoke for roughly 20 minutes before a single shot rang out, reportedly from roughly 200 yards away, as Kirk began to answer a question about transgender shooters. A gruesome video from the event shows a bullet hitting Kirk in the neck.
Kirk, who founded Turning Point USA in 2012 and saw it expand to campuses across the country, did more than virtually anybody over the past decade to bring young people to the conservative cause. He started a podcast, "The Charlie Kirk Show," in 2017. During that time, he became a close friend and ally of President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and other top GOP lawmakers.
It was Trump who announced his death on Wednesday on his Truth Social platform, describing him as “great” and “legendary.”
“No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” he said.

Hurts to my very core. Such an amazing human being taken away so young in his life, doing God's work, trying so hard to get ALL SIDES to backup their feelings/thoughts/beliefs with facts, not just rhetoric. He truly wanted to have the conversation, the debate, not just to push an agenda like so many others. May God truly rest his sweet soul & comfort his family & friends. Amen🙏
Charlie Kirk's murder was not senseless. It was premeditated and precipitated by CNN and so many others. If you saw the Kirk interview CNN played while they were busy ignoring the Iryna Zarutska stabbing story, some scumbag taking a shot at Kirk makes complete sense. HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
