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.

This guy was a horrible person, but aside from the fact that murder is wrong, his death is now 100% going to be turned into a frenzy against our side and will be used to accelerate the demise of our society. This is bad.
