Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was a victim of political violence.
Kirk’s opponents targeted hm because they couldn’t defeat his arguments.
And Donald Trump just had to break the worst news ever about Charlie Kirk.
As American Patriot Daily reports:
Americans were shocked and horrified when the news broke that an assassin shot Kirk in the neck while Kirk spoke at one of his trademark campus events at Utah Valley University.
First responders rushed to try to save Kirk’s life.
Law enforcement searched for the killer.
President Trump put out a post on Truth Social imploring Americans to keep Kirk in their thoughts and prayers.
“We must all pray for Charlie Kirk, who has been shot. A great guy from top to bottom. GOD BLESS HIM!” Trump wrote.
But two hours later, the bad news came down.
President Trump announced to America that Kirk passed away from his wound.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
The news of Kirk’s passing hit the country like a gut punch.
Megyn Kelly and Glenn Beck wept uncontrollably on the air when they learned that Kirk died.

Kirk founded Turning Point USA as a teenager and built that organization up into a $100 million-a-year juggernaut.
Kirk became a political force of nature simply by visiting college campuses and debating leftists.
Viral clips of Kirk shutting down woke liberals through the force of his belief in God, liberty, and America’s inherent goodness became Kirk’s signature.
President Trump wouldn’t have won re-election in 2024 without Kirk running the turnout operation that saw Trump win more votes than any Republican in history.
Trump winning young men aged 18-29 was due in large part to the impact of Kirk’s campus tours, where he would simply set up a table, hold a microphone, and debate all comers.
Kirk’s arguments were so powerful that the only way the left could respond was with a bullet.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk is yet another escalation in the campaign of political violence against conservatives.
In 2017, a Bernie Sanders supporter attempted to assassinate Republican members of Congress over the effort to repeal and replace Obamacare.
In 2022, a Joe Biden supporter stalked Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his home and attempted to assassinate him as revenge for the court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.
President Trump survived two assassination attempts during the 2024 campaign.
Kirk’s killing is yet another sign that the political violence problem in this country is the province of the left.
Years of smearing Trump and his supporters as fascists, Nazis, racists, and threats to democracy drove left-wingers to the dark depths of insanity, where they think killing their political opponents is justified.
