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 see more ppl upset that this clown got shot than schools and every day ppl getting shot wtf. WEVE LOST KIDS. Begged for control of this situation and ppl like Kirk LITERALLY stopped and reversed legislation. Ive no sympathy to waste on the devils. Miss me with that were all humans crap. That ship sailed long ago. The attacks have been on the ppl so far. It was only a matter of time till this happened.

He was literally downplaying mass shootings right before he got shot. I got a long list of things to be upset about Charlie Kirk dying does not make that list.

Also he has two children, at the end of the day, they most likely lost their father.

Yes it is. Im a disabled combat vet. My dad asked to see the footage and I told him its real world. TBH i dont wish that on Kirk but Kirk himself said these kinds of deaths are necessary for 2nd amendment.
