A true American patriot was gunned down in cold blood at Utah Valley University yesterday. Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was murdered while doing what he did best – defending conservative values on a college campus. This was not a random act of violence but a targeted political assassination designed to silence one of our movement’s brightest young leaders.
Kirk was hosting his famous “Prove Me Wrong” event when a coward hiding on a rooftop took his life with a single shot. The brave conservative was speaking to students about American values when the shooter struck from a distance like the gutless terrorist he is. This is exactly the kind of political violence the radical left has been encouraging for years with their dangerous rhetoric.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox got it exactly right when he called this what it is – a political assassination. For too long, conservatives have been under attack on college campuses across America. Now the left has crossed the line from throwing eggs and pulling fire alarms to actual murder.
President Trump honored Charlie with a beautiful tribute on Truth Social, calling him “Great, and even Legendary.” Trump knew what millions of young Americans knew – Charlie Kirk was a warrior for freedom who understood the heart of patriotic youth better than anyone. His loss leaves a massive hole in the conservative movement.
The FBI and local police are still hunting for this domestic terrorist who remains on the loose. Two people were arrested but released because they had nothing to do with this evil act. Every American should be demanding answers about how campus security failed so badly.
This assassination sends a chilling message to every conservative speaker in America. The radical left wants us to shut up and hide in fear. They think murdering our leaders will make us give up the fight for traditional American values.
Charlie Kirk spent his short life fighting the good fight against woke ideology poisoning our schools and universities. He stood strong against cancel culture, defended free speech, and inspired countless young conservatives to love their country. His legacy will live on through every patriot he inspired.
The left may have silenced Charlie Kirk’s voice, but they cannot kill the movement he built. Patriots across America must step up and carry on his mission to save our great nation from the forces trying to destroy it from within.
