Charlie Kirk’s account on X shared a final post on Thursday, just one day after he was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University.
The post shared a black and white photo of the conservative activist walking out onto a stage with smoke rising up behind him and read, “Charlie Kirk 1993-2025.” A statement from Turning Point USA, which Kirk founded, accompanied it.
“Every one of us at Turning Point USA is crushed and devastated by the hateful murder of our founder and guiding light, Charlie Kirk,” the post read. “All of us have lost a leader, a mentor, and a friend. Above al, our hearts are with Erika and their two children. Charlie was an ideal husband and the perfect father. Above all else, we ask you to pray for the Kirks after the incomprehensible loss they have suffered.
