Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was tragically shot dead during an event at Utah Valley University on September 10. Known as one of Donald Trump’s most loyal allies, Kirk built a career as a political firebrand, media personality, and youth organizer before his shocking death.
Trump’s Emotional Reaction
Former U.S. President Donald Trump was quick to react. Posting on Truth Social, he called Kirk “The Great, and even Legendary” and later released a video message remembering him as a patriot who “inspired millions of young Americans.”
“Filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk,” Trump said. “No one understood or had the heart of the youth in America better than Charlie. He devoted his life to freedom and open debate.”
