LOGAN, Utah — Thousands of supporters came together to honor Charlie Kirk Tuesday night as Turning Point USA’s college tour returned to Utah for the first time since its founder was assassinated on a college campus in the state earlier this month.
The stop, at Utah State University in Logan, is about two hours north of Utah Valley University, where Kirk was killed Sept. 10 by a gunman who fired a single shot through the crowd while Kirk was speaking.
“If you are expecting a a funeral, if you came to mourn the death of America, the death of masculinity and femininity, of faith, of truth, then you are at the wrong event. It’s not over. It is not even close,” said conservative podcast host Alex Clark, who kicked off the event, which she described as the the group’s largest on campus tour.
