America lost a true patriot on September 10th when Charlie Kirk was gunned down at Utah Valley University. The 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA was speaking at a campus debate when a shooter took his life. This senseless act of political violence robbed our nation of one of its brightest conservative leaders.
Charlie Kirk built the largest conservative youth movement in America from nothing. Starting Turning Point USA when he was just 18 years old, he grew it to over 3,500 campuses nationwide. He had over 250,000 student members fighting for freedom and free markets across the country.
Rush Limbaugh saw something special in Charlie years ago. The radio legend often said people knew Charlie would be president one day. Charlie had the heart of a warrior and the mind of a brilliant strategist who could reach young Americans like no one else.
The mainstream media and radical left targeted Charlie for years because he was so effective. He exposed their lies about climate change, defended our constitutional rights, and stood up for traditional American values. They hated him because he was winning the battle for young minds.
Charlie never backed down from a fight when America’s future was at stake. He called out the woke professors poisoning our kids with anti-American garbage. His Professor Watchlist helped parents see exactly what their children were being taught in college.
Political violence has no place in America, but the left’s constant attacks on conservatives created this toxic environment. For years, they called people like Charlie dangerous extremists for simply loving their country. Their hateful rhetoric has real consequences.
Charlie Kirk showed young Americans that being conservative is cool and patriotic. He proved that our ideas about freedom, faith, and family can win if we fight for them. His legacy will inspire the next generation of conservative warriors.
America will never forget Charlie Kirk’s sacrifice for freedom. He died doing what he loved most, fighting for the values that make our country great. His work will continue through the thousands of young patriots he trained and inspired.
