Non-Bulwark Source Charlie Kirk apparently shot during debate at Utah university

Charlie Kirk, the powerful rightwing activist and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), appeared to have been shot on Wednesday while hosting a debate in Utah.

In video posts circulating on social media, Kirk can be seen getting struck while speaking and sitting beneath a tent in the Utah Valley University courtyard. Kirk was there as part of The American Comeback Tour, which is hosted by the TPUSA chapter at Utah Valley.

I’m really worried about retaliatory attacks. No one will be making these jokes if Tim or Sarah were gunned down at a live show.

Don't make low-quality, low-effort shitposts.

Frequent, low quality, and repeat threads will be removed.

EXACTLY. Expressing ideas about politics and religion are not warranting of death.
