WASHINGTON D.C. (Worthy News) – Charlie Kirk, the outspoken conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated, sending shockwaves across the nation and devastating the conservative movement he helped build.
Kirk, only 31 years old, had become one of the most recognizable voices among America’s youth, championing free speech, limited government, and Christian values on campuses nationwide. His sudden death has left allies reeling, with tributes pouring in from across the political and faith spectrum.
More than politics, Kirk was open about his faith in Jesus Christ, often testifying that his Christian convictions were at the center of his mission to equip young Americans with truth and courage. He frequently encouraged students not only to defend their freedoms but also to stand boldly for their faith in the public square.
President Donald Trump called Kirk “Great, and even Legendary,” noting, “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us.”
Trump extended personal condolences to Kirk’s family: “Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”
In a final gesture of honor, President Trump ordered that all American flags across the United States be lowered to half-staff until Sunday evening at 6 P.M.
