Charlie Kirk, Right-Wing Force and a Close Trump Ally, Dies at 31

NYT ^ | 9/10/26 | Clay Risen

[DallasBiff]

The founder of Turning Point USA played a central role in organizing young voters and giving shape to the pro-Trump agenda. He was fatally shot during a speaking event in Utah.

Charlie Kirk, a conservative wunderkind who through his radio show, books, political organizing and speaking tours did much to shape the hard-right movement that has coalesced around President Trump, becoming a close ally of his, died on Wednesday in Orem, Utah, after he had been shot while speaking at a college campus event. He was 31.

The left needs to sleep with one eye open.

Are you kidding??!! The DEMs will be out in the open public, with no fear, blaming everything on Trump, conservatives, and gun owners.

[thesligoduffyflynns]

imo it was a prof hit

not some person living in a van down by the river

if a manifesto appears? imo its made up

why do I say this? look at his neck where he was hit

[Vehmgericht]

Timing! IRYNA ZARUTSKA must be taken off the front page. they know exactly how to manipulate the narrative.

[TTFlyer]

Correct. They need to fear for their very lives.

[blueunicorn6]

Evil and criminal hearts, minds and souls will kill to maintain their criminal activities.

[Uncle Miltie]

Die = Assassinated.

NYT AHoles.

[popdonnelly]

The NYT can rest peacefully knowing it wasn’t one of their heroes who got offed.

[popdonnelly]

Maybe introspection would be better for the NYT than making inane comments.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Screw you Times. You sick bass turds need to hold off your big celebration until tomorrow. 9/11.

[tet68]

He didn’t die at 31.

He was murdered at 31.

[EnderWiggin1970]

Yeah, NYT is in permanent propaganda mode. I guarantee you it is NOT an accident that they said “died” as if he just had a heart attack, rather than assassinated.

[telescope115]

F*** the “Times” and their free account bs.

[TigersEye]

Assassinated! Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

[ealgeone]

No, NYT....he was ASSASSINATED.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

“Dies.”

Such a passive word.

I don’t remember them using the passive voice when George Floyd or Michael Brown or Trayvon Martin “died.”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If Charlie were someone on the Left, the leftists would have already raised the statue and declared a week of mourning.

Remember the Paul Wellstone extravaganza?

[dragnet2]

It’s been read a thousand times. Only those drooling in cups still can’t grasp the enemy is all around them. I don’t think those folks are salavagable.

[TXBlair]

He died? You mean, like, at random?

[grey_whiskers]

Timing! IRYNA ZARUTSKA must be taken off the front page. they know exactly how to manipulate the narrative.

They're not very smart. They tried to put out the IRYNA fire by pouring gasoline on it.

[dinodino]

“Dies at 31?”

How about, “Assassinated at 31”
