Charlie Kirk, founder of Turing point USA and a voice for young conservatives, was murdered at Utah Valley University on September 10th, 2025.
Kirk went out to campuses and tried to talk to students about notable issues, such as transgender males in female sports. He was going on a ‘Prove Me Wrong’ tour on Sept. 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, where he was shot and killed by 22-year-old, Tyler Robinson. According to the BBC Robinson was active on Discord, where they found the messages he used to plan his attack.
According to Politico Discord, the Republican Governor of Utah Spencer Cox, called social media “a cancer.”
Kirk was a father and believer of God, who helped show the United States that they could debate issues in a peaceful manner. He wasn’t just a voice; he was responsible for getting young voters out to the polls which may have helped deliver a win for Trump in 2024.
He energized young voters on campuses before the 2024 election. At that time, he was heading ‘The Charlie Kirk Show’ and ‘Prove Me Wrong’ events. When Kirk was out around campuses and the Bible came up as a part of the debate, Kirk would proclaim about the Bible.
According to News Nation, Kirk celebrated big when the 2024 election went in favor of Donald Trump. This shows how important a voice can be in an election year. Since the election he continued to debate on college campuses.
Charlie Kirk debated in a polarized world in a time where some felt we cannot civilly debate. Kirk was a man of faith who talked about the bible and believed in Christ. To some, Kirk was a beacon of hope and showed how fellow Americans could act. Charlie Kirk will be missed and remembered by his followers.
