Charlie Kirk was a co-founder of Turning Point USA. His friends and coworkers honored his modest upbringing, unwavering faith, and remarkable life on the primetime special “Charlie Kirk: An American Original.”. “,”.

Kirk recounted his experiences after his 18-year-old dream of attending West Point failed, and the program interwoven his stories with flashbacks of his own words.

In a 2018 interview, Kirk recalled, “I remember that summer of 2012, I had no money, no connections, and no idea what I was doing.”. However, I was willing to take a chance because I had a vision and unwavering energy. That is only feasible in America. “..”.

In addition to going viral for debating students on their campuses across the nation, he attributed his inspiration to launch a conservative nonprofit organization to bring like-minded students together to his own sense of “isolation” in high school.

Tomi Lahren, host of OutKick, stated that when Charlie first began this, it was never about attention, getting on TV, or having a show. The most important thing he wanted was to simply spread the word. “,”.

“I would probably put Charlie Kirk against any one of their professors if we took a survey right now of 17-, 18-, 19-, and 20-year-olds on college campuses and asked them who were the most influential people in their own education,” explained Fox News host Will Cain.

This is a quote from Stephanie Samsel’s article on Fox News.

The Phoenix Suns reporter who was fired for “refusing to mourn” conservative activist Charlie Kirk after his murder has received nearly $15,000 on GoFundMe as of Saturday night.

Due to remarks he made on social media, Gerald Bourguet was fired by PHNX Sports, which stated that “our employees’ opinions do not reflect the views of PHNX or ALLCITY Network.”. “,”.

Bourguet wrote: “Refusing to mourn a life dedicated to that cause is not the same as celebrating gun violence, and ‘political differences’ are not the same as uttering hateful rhetoric on a daily basis. For complete clarity, let’s say that. “.”.

In another post, he wrote, “If you’re saddened by today’s ‘political violence,’ horrified by the video, or repulsed by my response, ask yourself why your reaction was different when it came to mass deportations, school shootings, or the HUNDREDS of videos of horrific murders in Gaza (which Kirk cheered on).”.

“Really don’t care if you think it’s insensitive or bad timing to decline to respect an evil man who died,” he continued. “Too many of you care more about being courteous and *seeming* like decent people than you do about having the guts to stand up to hate and defend your principles. “.”.

Turning Point USA announced on Saturday how supporters can pay tribute to Charlie Kirk’s legacy and help his bereaved family, including a GiveSendGo page that has already received thousands of donations and heartfelt messages.

“The love and support that the Kirk family and our organization have received during this extremely trying time has moved us deeply,” TPUSA said in a statement on X. “We especially appreciate everyone who has gotten in touch to ask how they can support us. “”.

With nearly 10,000 individual donations and thousands more sending prayers via the website, the campaign to support Erika Kirk and the couple’s two young children has raised almost $1 million as of Saturday night.

Many people included personal testimonies and notes of faith with their donations. The $5,000 donation was made by Frank N. Tsamoutales, who cited Isaiah 54:17, which states that “you will refute every tongue that accuses you, and no weapon forged against you will prevail.”. “This is the legacy of the Lord’s servants, and this is my confirmation of them,” the Lord says. Other supporters gave his message over 260 likes.

“Charlie’s death forced me to confront my aesthetic cultural Christianity and accept Christ,” wrote another anonymous donor who gave $2,000. Much obliged, Charlie Kirk. “.”.

Kirk’s young children were directly addressed in some of the remarks. A $50 donation was made by a donor named Jules with the note, “For sweet girls Blueberries.”. “May you be blessed by God and continue to be in his tender, loving care.”. Your father loved you and your brother more than words can express. My thoughts and feelings are with you. “”.

Other donors expressed their appreciation and sorrow. “We share your grief and love you.”. Charlie will always be remembered. One supporter wrote, “He has kindled a fire within every Christian I know, including my spouse and myself.”. Another said, “It is heartbreaking that a coward’s act will leave a wife and two small children without a father or husband.”. I’m hoping for recovery during this trying time. “.”.

While giving a speech at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, Kirk, a 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed. State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, will host a public memorial service on September 21.

In a message he received, one supporter wrote: “I just wanted to let you know Charlie is the reason I’m going to church tomorrow for the first time in years,” Kolvet posted a screenshot of. “.”.

“Bless you,” was Kolvet’s straightforward reply. “.”.

I can’t even begin to count the number of these that I’ve gotten,” Kolvet wrote on X. “Charlie, make heaven crowded. “.”.

Kolvet urged others to pay tribute to Kirk’s memory in a different post. “You should attend church tomorrow if you wish to honor Charlie Kirk. Be as humble as he was. Allow the message of Jesus Christ to enter your hearts. To be saved, turn from your sins. “.”.

Exclusive: Senior FBI officials told Fox News Digital that Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer shared a residence with his transgender partner.

The unidentified individual is a male transitioning to a female, and bureau officials confirmed that the 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was in a “romantic relationship” with him. The two shared an apartment in Saint George, Utah.

According to those FBI representatives, Robinson’s partner is fully assisting the FBI in its investigation, Fox News Digital reported.

According to an FBI official who spoke to Fox News Digital, the person has been “extremely cooperative,” and the person “had no idea” that Robinson was allegedly plotting to kill the founder of Turning Point USA. At this time, the individual is not facing any criminal charges related to the assassination.

“The FBI had text messages and other communications between Robinson and his partner that helped FBI agents zero in on Robinson,” FBI officials told Fox News Digital. According to officials, the FBI took computers and other evidence from their apartment, which Fox News Digital has learned has been sent to Quantico for analysis.

The FBI would not say whether Robinson’s partner would face criminal charges. An FBI spokesperson stated, “The FBI is investigating a record number of tips.”. “Anyone involved in this matter, no matter where they may be in the world, will be held accountable after every connection, group, and link is examined. “.

A passage from an article written by Brooke Singman of Fox News Digital is included here.

​.

Charlie Kirk’s murder has shed light on his organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), and its future plans. TPUSA is renowned for its ability to inspire young people to support the conservative cause.

His widow, Erika Kirk, emphasized the importance of people joining TPUSA during her livestreamed remarks on Friday night. She also mentioned that the annual AmericaFest conference in Phoenix this December will go ahead as planned.

“To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die,” Kirk declared. It won’t. I won’t allow that to take place. My husband’s name will never be forgotten by anyone. And I’ll see to that. Its strength will increase. More confident. Bigger and louder than before. My husband will continue his mission. Not even for a second. “..”.

Later, she added, “I’ll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing that this nation has ever seen.”. “Baby, you have my love. Rest in our Lord’s embrace. “,”.

According to its website, X has over 2,000 student groups and over 800 faith-based groups. In response to the address, some users speculated that she would probably be Kirk’s heir.

Anthony DeWitt, a former employee of TPUSA, wrote, “I believe Erika Kirk should be the CEO of Turning Point USA.”.

Support for the group is predicted to soar after his murder.

Judah Waxelbaum, a former Republican campus activist at Arizona State University, stated that a “sleeping giant” of TPUSA’s size was probably awakened by the assassination.

“Turning Point is not going anywhere. According to him, “you couldn’t do youth politics in Arizona, really anywhere in the United States, without coming across Charlie Kirk,” he said in an interview with Fox News Digital on Saturday. “I think that turning point will probably actually get significantly larger in the wake of what happened to Charlie.”. “..”.

This is a passage from an article written by Cameron Arcand of Fox News Digital.

For Oregon football coach Dan Lanning, who recently learned that Charlie Kirk was a supporter of Lanning’s own Ducks, Kirk’s murder was a personal tragedy.

On Saturday, after they defeated Northwestern 34–14, Lanning sent his condolences to Kirk’s wife, Erika, and their two kids.

“The people in this world can learn a lot from [it],” Lanning said in a lengthy response about the state of American culture today, urging Americans to take a look at his own locker room. “..”.

“When you enter that locker room, you see a team of people who love one another despite their diverse racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Lots of variations. Lanning stated, “I think we’re missing some of that in our country. Where they come from, what they deal with, and in the end, you got a team that loves each other.”.

Lanning has previously spoken out against gun violence, and on Saturday he once again made his voice heard by denouncing the “evil” that resulted in Kirk’s murder and the shooting deaths of children.

“I didn’t know that Charlie Kirk was an Oregon fan until recently, right? I felt sorry for Erika, his wife, and their children. That kind of evil, which is exactly what it is, should never exist in our nation. I remember having to explain that to my family, don’t you? I recall sitting down with my children and telling them what had happened, and they mentioned that others had been discussing it at school. It’s just depressing, isn’t it?” Lanning asked.

It’s equally depressing, though, because it seems like we deal with violence in our nation on a daily basis, whether it’s among schoolchildren in Colorado or children at churches in Minnesota. Life does matter, and I believe we’ve forgotten that. However, we have a lot of people with different beliefs, and what you get in there is a lot of people, so I just hope that the world could learn a little bit from our locker room. “,”.

Lanning also had a strong message for people who didn’t agree with him on social and political matters.

“Remember this: I adore you. You do realize that I adore you? Life is important. Furthermore, Charlie and his family shouldn’t have to go through anything, and there is no way that evil can exist in this world. “..”.

Then, Lanning demanded more protection for schoolchildren and gun reform for “sick people”.

“And we must keep spotting it, calling it out, and confirming that it is wholly malevolent. There is absolutely no reason for us to be concerned about our children attending school. In the world, it is our most valuable commodity. They ought to be safeguarded. And the truth is that neither side has much common sense… “.

“Common sense tells me that it’s guns, but it also says that it’s mental health, correct? It’s both, you know the truth. Common sense should be used. Our children should be the most protected thing in the world, right? Every school should have armed security because there are sick people in the world, right? In addition, sick people need assistance, and it should be extremely difficult for a sick person to possess a gun. “.

This is a passage taken from an article written by Ryan Morik of Fox News Digital.

In the days since Charlie Kirk was killed, Utahns have come together to celebrate the life and legacy of the 31-year-old conservative influencer at memorial services and candlelight vigils.

Stuart Adams, the Republican president of the Utah state Senate, told Fox News Digital, “It’s really important we support each other.”.

As we work through this, I’m really proud of our community for banding together and attempting to help one another. “.”.

Many have echoed Utah Republican Governor’s recommendation that the community rely on its friends, family, and neighbors. The appeal for action against political violence made by Spencer Cox.

On Friday, Cox told reporters that Tyler Robinson, the suspect, had been taken into custody. “History will dictate if this is a turning point for our country, but every single one of us gets to choose right now if this is a turning point for us,” Cox said.

As Kirk urged, Adams said it’s critical that Americans put down their phones in order to make a positive contribution to society.

“This is a turning point for America as we see what we want to become, what we want to do, what we want America to be, and surely we don’t want America to be filled with hate. “With the kind of dialogue and free expression that Charlie embodied, we wish to fill it with love,” Adams stated.

Utah Attorney General Derek Brown told Fox News Digital that Utahns can honor Kirk’s life by modeling his commitment to open dialogue.

“He engaged in a productive, respectful dialogue, and he showed a model for how to engage productively with people that you might disagree with,” Brown said, adding that “he was modeling the very behavior that he encouraged people to do” until the moment he died.

In his capacity as attorney general, Brown has worked with federal, state, and local law enforcement. A. Department of Justice to ensure Kirk’s assassin “pays the price for what he’s done. “.”.

“If that’s state law, if that’s federal law, if that is a combination of both, we’ll make sure justice is served in this case,” Brown said. While Brown carries out his job, he said it’s the community’s job to “learn how to cope with what’s happened, to learn how to heal. “,”.

Even members of my own staff and family are close to me and participated in the experience. They witnessed it happen, having been present. I think it’s important for us to process the trauma and the experience and to understand what it is and, ideally, to use it to bring us together,” he said.

This is an excerpt of an article by Fox News Digital’s Deirdre Heavey.

The Virginia’s governor’s race erupted in controversy after Chesterfield County School Board member Dot Heffron, who previously endorsed Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s campaign for governor posted that she “remember[ed] when we used to be okay with shooting Nazis” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Heffron’s remark, shared in an Instagram story that has since been made private, followed the fatal shooting of the Turning Point USA founder while speaking at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

Republican gubernatorial candidate and Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears blasted Spanberger for not immediately disavowing Heffron’s comments, writing on Facebook: “A Chesterfield County School Board member who endorsed Abigail Spanberger said she ‘we used to be ok with shooting Nazis’ — in response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Abigail, do you condemn this?”.

Spanberger, who had praised Heffron’s support in a 2023 Instagram post, told Breitbart News she rejects any attempt to justify the killing.

Her full statement reads: “As the investigation continues and law enforcement continues to build their case, I think it’s important to state unequivocally: I condemn any efforts to justify or minimize the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk or anyone else. Disagreements over policy, perspectives, or even worldviews should never lead to violence. We are a nation of laws — and we have a First Amendment right to free speech, and that right is not limited just to those who agree with us. Justifying or making light of violence damages the core fabric of our society and imperils all of us as Americans, just as calls to violence and revenge do the same. I hope that all elected officials and community leaders will join me in denouncing both. ”.

Youngkin’s office, as well as the Earle-Seares and Spanberger campaigns, did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.

John Rich, a country music star, took a break from his performance with fellow musician Kenny Alphin in Georgia this week to pay a heartfelt homage to Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist who was shot and killed while giving a speech at Utah Valley University.

Rich informed the audience, “The devil’s army killed one of God’s Christian soldiers about 48 hours ago.”. He recalled meeting Kirk at Turning Point USA events, describing him as “a dad, a patriot, a Christian… one of the best guys you’ve ever met in your life. “.”.

Kirk’s readiness to interact politely with opponents was commended by Rich. He would calmly sit down with those who didn’t agree with him and have a conversation. In order to give thousands of people the opportunity to express their opinions, he gave them millions of impressions. He made it possible for Americans with opinions different from his own to be heard. “.”.

As he thought about Kirk’s young family, the country music star became serious. “A 31-year-old man with two children under five and a young wife is shown. They killed him even though he had never broken the law or harmed anyone. “”.

The audience was then asked to pray for Erika Kirk and the couple’s children as Rich led them in a moment of silence. Pray that the Holy Spirit will come and comfort Charlie Kirk’s family, including his wife and children, during this devastating time. “.”.

With a call to faith, he concluded. “If you hadn’t given your life to Jesus Christ yet, you’d better think about it long and hard right now… They aim to kill every last one of us and they just proved it with Charlie Kirk. Make use of your Second Amendment rights, defend yourself and your family, and ask God for mercy in that victory. “”.

EXCLUSIVE: President Trump on Saturday praised FBI Director Kash Patel for the remarkable speed in which the bureau identified and captured Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin.

Tyler Robinson, 22, was nabbed in his hometown of Washington, Utah, just 33 hours after he allegedly shot Kirk from a rooftop on the campus of Utah Valley University. The captured came after a frantic manhunt that began with only grainy images of the suspect’s figure fleeing the scene.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Trump declared, “I am very proud of the FBI.”. “Kash, as well as everyone else, has performed admirably. “..”.

Officials provided Fox News Digital with fresh information about the investigation’s timeline, Tyler Robinson’s identification and arrest, and Patel’s unusually active involvement in the case.

Patel was shown the entire scene of the crime and stood where Kirk was killed. Sources with knowledge of the investigation claim that Patel walked every step the suspect took.

Patel also went to the rooftop where Robinson had allegedly perched and retraced his steps as he fled, including into the wooded area where the gun, a Mauser 30.06 rifle, was found.

Patel personally directed agents as they processed evidence and prepared to send it to Quantico, ATF labs, or local labs. According to sources who spoke to Fox News Digital, Patel then ordered the evidence to be loaded onto an aircraft after preliminary forensics and evidence collection, and it was returned to the FBI labs for further processing.

When evidence is gathered during an investigation, an agent usually ships it to the labs, a law enforcement source told Fox News Digital. However, according to the source, Patel ordered the fingerprints and evidence to be flown back to Quantico, making the round-trip trip from Utah to gather and deliver the items.

The source went on to say: “The evidence was returning to the labs at a very quick pace. That’s the reason he was apprehended so fast. “.

In the years since his passing, a plain silver cross that Charlie Kirk wore daily has come to represent faith and tenacity.

Andrew Kolvet, an executive producer of “The Charlie Kirk Show” and one of Kirk’s closest friends, revealed the origin of the now-famous necklace on “The Ingraham Angle” on Friday night.

Erika gave Charlie the cross for the first time when they were dating, Kolvet explained. Kolvet remembered, “You’re a Christian, so why don’t you wear a cross? And he said, I don’t know, I’m not a jewelry kind of guy.”.

Charlie never took it off after putting it on. He didn’t remove it until he was killed. The individuals who were trying to save his life tore it off. And now, Erika always carries it with her. “.”.

Erika was seen with that same cross necklace out of her car window earlier this week. According to Kolvet, she made the gesture to demonstrate her strength and to remind everyone of Charlie’s faith.

Erika was described by Kolvet as “as strong as iron… a lioness,” and her bravery in the face of terrible loss was commended.

Charlie’s mission of faith, patriotism, and family would continue after his death, he added. “We want Charlie and his impact on the world to continue to grow.”. And we will see to it that it does. “”.

​.

By continuously labeling conservatives “fascists, Nazis, and racists,” the media contributed to Charlie Kirk’s murder, Lara Trump said on Saturday on “Fox and Friends Weekend.”. “.”.

One man decided that he was evil and deserving of being killed in cold blood, taking the life of a father, husband, friend, and likely the greatest political figure of a generation. Lara Trump, host of Fox News’ “My View with Lara Trump,” said, “And we have to ask ourselves, how did we go from a country where we were able and founded upon the idea of civil debate, to a place where you can shoot someone and kill them the way this guy did [to] Charlie, based on having a differing opinion?”. “”.

Additionally, you should consider how the legacy media has framed conservatives in particular, as well as the names that have been applied to each of us. Charlie has heard those names. Conservatives in general have frequently been referred to as fascists, Nazis, and racists, but Donald Trump has also been called those things,” she added.

People react viscerally to those kinds of words. True fascists, true Nazis, and true racists are all terrible people. Charlie wasn’t any of those. “Donald Trump is not any of those things,” Lara Trump continued.

“Take a look at what the mainstream media has repeated, how they have continuously presented conservatives in those ways over the last ten years,” Lara Trump added.

People will eventually start to take matters into their own hands, so what do you really expect to happen? We must take responsibility for the words we use. Words have meaning. So, regrettably, this is the outcome. Unfortunately, both the current and former presidents have been the target of assassination attempts. Charlie Kirk is unfortunately no longer with us. “These people need to stop spreading false information and start reporting the truth,” she stated.

Utah residents recall the alleged killer as someone who was “very quiet” and “kept to himself,” and the suspect in the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is expected to be charged in the coming days. “.”.

According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Fox News, Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of aggravated murder, “felony discharge of a firearm – causing serious bodily injury,” and “obstruction of justice – capital/first degree felony conduct.”. A judge ordered him to stay in custody without posting bail, and on Tuesday, September, the Utah County Attorney’s Office said it would formally charge Robinson. 16. .

People say things like, ‘You could tell,’ when their identities are revealed and they are accused of being a shooter. A 22-year-old who lives in Robinson’s neighborhood, Jaida Funk, told The Associated Press, “And he’s not one of those people.”. The arrest of Robinson in the suburb outside of St. George was “wholly unanticipated.”. “,”.

According to Robert Sylvester, who has lived on the same street as the Robinson family for roughly six years, he last saw Tyler Robinson a few years ago when they worked together to fix a leaky pipe at a neighbor’s house. He called the family “pretty quiet,” adding that the suspect’s father works as a contractor and that “they’re not unlike most families.”. “.”.

A video of Office Depot staff refusing to print Charlie Kirk posters that a customer ordered for a vigil honoring the late conservative activist went viral on social media, leading to the termination of an employee at the company’s Portage, Michigan, location on Friday.

According to a statement the company sent to Fox News Digital, it is “deeply concerned by the unfortunate customer experience” that occurred at Store 3382. Three employees are heard in the video being told by the person recording that they came into the store earlier in the evening to pick up an order for posters to be used at a vigil.

In response, a worker who claimed to be a manager of the store said, “Yeah, so, we don’t print propaganda. “It is propaganda,” she again asserted. I apologize. . That is not what we print here. “.

She responded, “Because he’s a political figure and I don’t have to,” when the person filming the video asked her why the posters were propaganda. A coworker interrupted her, saying the general manager would be in on Monday.

On Friday evening, Office Depot announced that the employee who was involved in the incident is “no longer with the organization” and that an “immediate internal review” has been initiated. The business also claimed that as soon as it became aware of the incident, it contacted the customer “to address their concerns and seek to fulfill their order to their satisfaction.”. “,”.

“Our associate’s behavior is totally inappropriate and insensitive; it also goes against our company’s policies and is not consistent with the values that Office Depot holds dear. The statement read, “We deeply regret this unfortunate circumstance on behalf of the Company.”.

Although it did not specify which employee was let go, the company stated that it would “continue to aggressively investigate the matter” and that appropriate action would be taken.

We are dedicated to strengthening training with all team members to guarantee that our standards of integrity, respect, and customer service are maintained at every location,” the statement concluded. Nothing less is acceptable to our communities and customers. “..”.

Speaking at Utah Valley University, Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, made her first public statements just two days after her husband was shot and killed.

“May Charlie be received into the merciful arms of Jesus, our loving Savior,” she said, holding his cross necklace in her hand as she stood next to her husband’s empty studio chair. “”.

In addition to being Charlie’s life partner, Erika was also a leader in her own right and the mother of their two young children, and thousands had been waiting to hear from her.

She began by thanking first responders and family members, particularly Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump. “Mr. She said, “My husband loved you, President.”.

From that point on, Erika agreed with Charlie’s personal belief about what would have been most important if he had ever entered politics. The mother of two recalled that Charlie had always stated that reviving the American family would be his first priority if he ever ran for office.

She also indicated one of Charlie’s guiding texts in life. Ephesians 5:25, which reads, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her,” was one of Charlie’s favorite Bible passages. ‘.”.

According to Erika, the verse was a reflection of her husband’s life and sacrifice rather than just words. “My husband sacrificed his life for our country, our children, and me. He demonstrated the purest and most authentic covenantal love. “.”.

Erika emphasized her faith even while in mourning. “Evil abounds in our world. However, our God is incredibly good. So amazing. “.”.

She didn’t accept the death of her husband. “This widow’s cries will reverberate like a battle cry throughout the world. To everyone in America who is listening tonight, the movement my husband founded will endure. It won’t. That is not going to happen. Its strength will increase. more audacious. She declared, “Better and louder than before.”.

She declared that AmericaFest and campus tours offered by TPUSA will both continue and expand. In the upcoming years, she stated, “there will be even more tours.”. “He will continue to be proud of his podcast and radio show. “”.

Erika acknowledged that she hadn’t slept since her late husband passed away, but she continues to be a present mother to her two young children in spite of the situation. Our daughter, Gigi, rushed into my arms when I got home last night and asked, “Where’s Daddy?” I replied, “He’s on a work trip with Jesus for your Blueberry budget.”. ‘.”.

“I’ll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing this country has ever seen,” she pledged. “.”.

“May God bless America and all of you. “.

In May 2021, Charlie married Erika Kirk, who was previously known as Erika Frantzve. She founded a nonprofit, works in real estate, and hosts the podcast “Midweek Rise Up.” She was formerly Miss Arizona USA. “..”.

The CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) was Charlie Kirk, age 31.
