Charlie Kirk Shooting

The Left Calls Kirk Memorial a ‘Festival of Hate,’ and Attendees ‘Fascists’– legalinsurrection.com

Excerpt:

All Democrats had to do was allow Republicans one day to gather to pay their final respects to Charlie Kirk, a party giant who was gunned down eleven days earlier by a left-wing lunatic who disagreed with his political views.

But they simply couldn’t help themselves. Perhaps the global outpouring of love and compassion for Kirk in the days since his death has gotten to them. Yet rather than offering their own tributes or remaining silent, many felt the need to pass judgment on the events of the day.

The Huffington Post called it a “Ragefest” and took aim at President Donald Trump’s “Hate Eulogy.”

As you’ve probably heard, Erika Kirk forgave her husband’s killer during her speech. The left-wing outlet faulted Trump for describing him as a “radicalized, cold-blooded monster.”

Well, the suspect is a radicalized, cold-blooded monster, is he not?

Now that Charlie Kirk has been laid to rest, it’s back to work for Turning Point USA. Their first event was at the University of Minnesota, starring Michael Knowles. Yes, in Minneapolis. Yes, in Ilhan Omar’s district, in Tampon Tim Walz’s state. It appears they beat out Berkley, CA, and Park Slope, NY to host the first TPUSA return event.

As we’ve come to expect whenever someone right-of-center stands on stage at a college campus and answers questions from students, the entire idea is threatening and makes people feel unsafe. Although I must admit, for the first TPUSA event back, I was expecting a little more energy from the haters.

Maybe they sent the A-team to the local ABC affiliate to protest Jimmy Kimmel’s extended weekend off. Leaving only the B-team to protest Knowles.

Regardless, the frat bros were activated.

The immortal legacy of Charlie Kirk: The Turning Point USA organization founded by the conservative leader announced it has received 54,400 inquiries for new chapters following his death– gatewayhispanic.com

Excerpt:

Kirk, a charismatic activist and close ally of President Donald Trump, has transformed TPUSA into a dominant force since its founding in 2012.

On September 10, 2025, the conservative world was rocked by the assassination of Charlie Kirk, co-founder and CEO of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) , during an event on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck by a sniper from a nearby rooftop in what Governor Spencer Cox described as a «political assassination» targeting his ideological expression.

At 18, along with Bill Montgomery, a Tea Party activist, Kirk founded the organization to counter «leftist indoctrination» on college campuses.

His focus on open debate, such as the «Prove Me Wrong» style, attracted thousands of young people, promoting free-market values, limited government, and Christian faith.

Under his leadership, TPUSA grew to more than 900 college chapters and 1,200 high school chapters, with an annual budget exceeding $95 million by 2025.

The Utah event was the first stop on TPUSA’s «American Comeback Tour,» a campus tour aimed at energizing conservative Generation Z. About 3,000 attendees, including families and students, were listening to Kirk answer questions about gun violence when the shot rang out.

TPUSA announced it received 54,400 inquiries for new chapters in the six days following the assassination: 27,800 from college students and 26,600 from high school students. Initially, within 48 hours, the number reached 32,000, surpassing 60,000 shortly afterward. «This was Charlie’s vision for America,» TPUSA said in a statement.

What Democrats Say About Charlie Kirk, They Think About You– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

They say Charlie Kirk was a racist bigot and white supremacist because of his beliefs on race in America. They say he was a misogynist and male chauvinist because of his opinions about gender roles. They say Kirk was a fascist and white Christian nationalist because of his opinions on immigration and the LGBT movement.

From prominent American politicians, pundits, and celebrities to the hordes of anonymous chairborne social media activists, all of them said these things about Kirk for years before his assassination, and they have said these same things in the days since his death. They said these things about him because he was one of the most outspoken and rhetorically gifted conservatives of the last decade, antagonizing (and embarrassing) thousands of leftists across this nation (and others). But don’t let that fact lead you to believe that’s the only reason Democrats treated him with such scorn. If you agree with any of Charlie Kirk’s politics, then what the left is saying about him, they think about you too.

Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Marks The End Of Lukewarm Christianity– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

For too long, Christians have sold and bought the lie that loving God and loving your neighbor means embracing ill-named political centrism, caving in the culture war, and quietly refusing opportunities to obey the Great Commission. The assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the widespread revival that followed, however, proves that the third way-ism that has infiltrated even the most seemingly solid Christian institutions has no home here any longer.

It’s not difficult to see that the “Christian nationalist” slur and smears corporate media, Democrats, and other cowards wielded in an effort to deter Biblically-informed life and law have taken root in key Christian circles, effectively neutering potential Good News bearers from delivering the best message of all time. Yet, a small but powerful sect of bold and morally courageous faithfuls, such as Charlie Kirk, successfully rejected those attacks and devoted their lives to sharing the Gospel with anyone who would listen.

The result of such a commendable act of obedience? A beautiful, one-of-a-kind memorial service in which millions of people across the world finally heard and saw the Good News that has been so readily suppressed from within in recent years.

For the first hour of the nearly eight-hour service, approximately 95,000 people threw up their hands and vowed to “praise You again and again.” The worship proclaiming the goodness of God was followed by the repeated declaration from the speakers, including several Trump administration officials, that Jesus saved. The end of the memorial featured widow Erika Kirk’s public proclamation of unthinkable forgiveness for her husband’s assassin.

Reports from within State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona suggested the room was electric with the Holy Spirit. From the stage, Tucker Carlson observed “God’s very obvious presence in this room, the presence of Jesus.”

Kimmel Reinstatement Shows Media Lied About Trump Yet Again– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

Last week, the propaganda press assured us that self-described comedian Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off air because President Donald Trump was an authoritarian, a fascist, or tyrannical. It didn’t matter that Disney executives themselves said Kimmel was yanked because he planned to double down on false and inflammatory commentary. No, what mattered to the propaganda press was spinning the story to malign Trump.

Of course the narrative collapsed Monday when Disney announced it would bring Kimmel back on air days after he falsely stated that Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was “MAGA.”

“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” Disney said Monday afternoon in a statement. “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

Disney itself admitted once again that pulling Kimmel off air was merely a business decision — exactly what was reported at least four days ago. It wasn’t Trump or the FCC — if it was, Disney would not be reinstating Kimmel. But that’s not what the propaganda press told us. Instead, they deliberately misled Americans so that they could distract from their own culpability in creating a hostile environment that led to Kirk’s assassination by painting Trump as the real problem and Kimmel as the real victim.

One of the hard realities of life is making mistakes, of believing things in youth, naivety, or perhaps even optimism that are eventually proven wrong by persevering through new experiences. One such instance forcefully confronted me in recent days. Having served in the U.S. Army for 20 years, I found former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s partisan assertion that there was an infestation of extremism loose in the U.S. military fictional and insulting. But I have now seen it with my own eyes. It’s time for a mea culpa.

I awoke on Thursday, September 11th, with the kind of sadness for our country that, compared to what I felt on September 12, 2001, the morning after the twin towers fell in New York.

“Did it really happen?” I asked myself as a college student, hoping it was all a terrible nightmare. Back in the present, I looked at my phone to see a message from a colleague. He shared a screen capture of Army Col. Junel Jeffrey’s take on Charlie Kirk’s assassination: “Sometimes we reap what we sow. That is all.”

Charlie Kirk Memorial Was a Christian Nationalist Rally– townhall.com

Let’s be honest: whenever a crucifix or Bible is whipped out, this will be the liberal media’s go-to reaction. Charlie Kirk’s memorial service was held in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday. Hundreds of thousands attended. The State Farm Stadium was packed, with the overflows just as jammed. Kirk was a man of faith. So was his wife, Erika Kirk, who has taken over Turning Point USA following her husband’s assassination at Utah Valley University on September 10.

Are we shocked that there was a religious theme here? I’m not religious and I understand that; I also don’t see ‘Christian nationalism’ every time someone quotes scripture or prays. In liberal media land, this is the new Nazism. Some of these reactions were insane:

  • Massive public gatherings, including tributes from prominent figures were held to honor Charlie Kirk, contrasting the negative sentiments expressed by some academics.

A Columbia University lecturer who teaches “environmental justice” recently called conservative pundit Charlie Kirk a “dead Nazi” following his assassination.

In the post on Instagram, Hadeel Assali also condemned the Ivy League university for dropping its flags to half-staff following a federal mandate to pay tribute to Kirk, The Washington Free Beacon reported.

The lecturer reposted a photo of a graffiti-covered wall in Los Angeles that reads “2 black men were lynched & the media is mourning a dead Nazi.”

Adding her own comment, Assali wrote, “And Columbia university has flags at half mast for the dead nazi.”

A Columbia spokesperson told the Free Beacon the school “follows federal, state and local guidance on the lowering of our flags” but does not “comment on tasteless social media posts.”

Minneapolis Councilwoman Says TPUSA Has Ties to ‘Hate-Filled Ideology’– www.breitbart.com

Excerpt:

A Minneapolis Councilwoman criticized Turning Point USA’s event at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and accused the group of having ties to “hate-filled ideology and extremism.”

In a statement, Minneapolis Councilwoman Robin Wonsley, an independent socialist, expressed frustration with the university for allowing an event by TPUSA, which was founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on September 10 during an event at Utah Valley University. The TPUSA event at the university on Monday featured podcast host Michael Knowles.

“Hate has no place in Minneapolis, and I am deeply frustrated that the University of Minnesota has attempted to normalize a group that is tied to hate-filled ideology and extremism,” Wonsley said in her statement. “The UMN has denied, penalized, and criminalized both students and faculty for using their voices to protest against the genocide in Palestine, but is now providing a platform for a group that has targeted many groups our neighbors belong to, such as Somalis, LGBTQ+ people, and immigrants. Beyond hypocrisy, tonight’s actions by the university are risking people’s safety and that is unacceptable.”

In her statement, Wonsley continues to admit that “when this event was initially announced,” her office received “concerns from students on campus,” and that after Kirk’s assassination, many people, including her, “were surprised that this event was still being put on.”

“I also am aware that many classes today took place virtually as faculty were advised by their respective department leaders due to safety concerns related to this event,” Wonsley continued.

The nation struggles to come to grips with this latest rash of political violence. One of these incidents involved the shooting of the lobby of ABC’s Sacramento affiliate. Shockingly, NBC was the only newscast to offer these new details.

NBC’s Liz Kreutz included the shooter update within her report on the imminent return of Jimmy Kimmel:

LIZ KREUTZ: Two days after Kimmel was pulled off the air, police say 64- year-old Anibal Hernandez Santana fired shots into an ABC station in Sacramento. Tonight, the district attorney telling NBC News investigators found anti-Trump notes in his home, and that they believe Kimmel’s suspension may have been a factor.

THIEN HO: We are still looking at and investigating the case, but he chose a very particular target, and with the notes that he left behind, I think there’s circumstantial evidence to show this is a politically motivated crime by this individual.

KREUTZ: Hernandez Santana, a retired state lobbyist, was first arrested by local police on Friday, but released on bail. The FBI then stepped in and rearrested him . His attorney says he plans to plead not guilty to the number of state and federal charges he now faces.

Former NBC News employee Chuck Todd is freaking out about Trump deciding to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization.

Speaking to former CNN employee Chris Cillizza on his podcast, Todd suggested that this move is dangerous. Cillizza agreed, naturally.

First the clip. Partial transcript by Jason Cohen on Twitter/X:

“I don’t even know what Antifa is. I know what the definition of Antifa is. There is no group!”

“But what’s dangerous is that by designating it, who’s going to define who the group is?”

Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Was Christian Nationalism’s Biggest Moment – Mother Jones– www.motherjones.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

On Sunday, a crowd of 80,000 people — plus scores more watching online — memorialized Charlie Kirk. The event, held at a State Farm Stadium, home to the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, brought together the biggest names in Christian music while also featuring a predictable lineup of MAGA loyalists. There were declarations that Donald Trump was chosen by God himself to punish evildoers, capped off with a rousing speech by Trump himself that seethed in hatred for his political opponents. The event was bizarre — unless you’re acquainted with the liturgy and theology of Christian nationalism.

In many ways, this was one of Christian nationalism’s biggest and loudest days. It was clear that in Kirk, this movement had found its icon — an exemplar of their brand of nationalistic faith. In life, Kirk tried to set himself apart from the movement that’s come to define his legacy. “I’ve never described myself as a Christian nationalist,” he said during one campus debate months before his assassination. “I”m a Christian, and I’m a nationalist.” But it’s a distinction without a difference. Kirk followed his own rebuttal by citing scripture to justify a faith-infused nationalism. The memorial of his life followed a similar pattern; gesturing at scripture, and dripping in the nationalistic fervor that’s come to define modern conservative politics.

There was a sermon by Pastor Rob McCoy, which culminated in a call for people to accept Jesus as their personal savior. But what followed wasn’t a moment of solemn, lingering, prayer. Instead, the crowd was called to stand for the national anthem.

Trump Now Has to Save Liberal Reporters from Gunman as California Lets Alleged ABC10 Shooter Out on Bail– www.westernjournal.com

Excerpt:

The FBI had to step in to protect reporters in California over the weekend after the state released an accused gunman who allegedly targeted a news station.

That’s right. While a Sacramento court let him post bail, federal agents arrested him again before he could strike twice.

Police said 64-year-old Anibal Hernandez Santana was arrested Friday on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, shooting into an occupied building, and negligent discharge of a firearm.

He allegedly opened fire at the city’s ABC affiliate KXTV, presumably furious over Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension after the late night host misled his viewers about the assassination of Charlie Kirk last week.

Three bullet holes were found in the glass.

Someone was inside the lobby when the shots were fired, and thank God, no one was harmed.

Jail records showed bail for Santana was set at $200,000. He paid it on Saturday and was released.

Will any of the local media thank Trump for protecting them from the alleged shooter?

The alleged shooter wasn’t free for long.

Hours later, the FBI arrested him again.

KCRA reported he was taken into custody on suspicion of violating 47 USC 333, which bans interference with licensed radio communications.

Jail records show Santana is on a federal hold and ineligible for bail.

A conviction for breaking the law carries up to one year in prison or a $10,000 fine for a first offense.

It is without a doubt a criminal charge most people have never heard of, but what is the federal government to do in order to protect public safety when Democrats decline to act?

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office responded by calling Santana’s alleged actions an assault on “our democracy itself,” while his system had just freed the accused shooter.

Santana’s attorney, Mark Reichel, said the charge was “minor” and complained that investigators focused on social media posts from his client that were critical of President Donald Trump.

Leftists can’t contain their anger. They’ve proven that truth time and again with an alarming frequency since last summer.

But the real story here is that California freed a man accused of firing into a newsroom over an apparent belief that Jimmy Kimmel is entitled to lie on broadcast television.

Once Kimmel’s employer decided to put him on ice, the response was violence toward people in an industry that is almost entirely left-wing.

California’s judicial system responded to the threat of death for reporters by releasing the alleged shooter.

Trump’s FBI put him back behind bars.

That’s the irony. The same left-wing media that despises Trump is safer today because of his administration.

Jimmy Kimmel and Disney are reportedly negotiating a compromise that would allow for his talk show to return to air.

Business and legal representatives for the longtime late-night host have been in talks with the higher-ups at ABC and its parent company, Disney, with the hopes of bringing “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” back to TVs nationwide, Variety reported, citing three sources with knowledge on the matter.

The show was abruptly pulled off the air on Wednesday, with executives saying it would be “preempted indefinitely” over Kimmel’s remarks about the discourse triggered by the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Since then, the 11:35 p.m. slot has been filled with reruns of “Celebrity Family Feud,” and a Charlie Kirk memorial special that aired Friday.

Kirk was shot on Sept. 10 during a student Q&A at Utah Valley University as part of his American Comeback Tour. He was hit in the neck by a lone bullet during the outdoor event on the Orem campus and was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Kirk, the co-founder of conservative organization Turning Point USA and a major President Trump ally, was 31 years old.

President Trump in a Truth Social post on Saturday demanded that Attorney General Pam Bondi take action against his foes, saying there could be no delay.

In the post, Trump listed Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), New York Attorney General Letitia James, and former FBI Director James Comey while complaining that “nothing is being done.”

“They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done,” Trump wrote.

He concluded the post by saying that “we can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility” and complaining that “they impeached me twice” and indicted me five times.

Asked about the post a shot time later as he left the White House for an event, Trump added “they have to act. We want to act fast.”

“You know, they were ruthless and vicious,” he added, again mentioning the two impeachment and multiple indictments.

“If they are guilty or if they should be judged, they should be judged and we have to do it now,” he said.

Trump’s remarks pressuring the Department of Justice (DOJ) to take legal actions against those he sees as his political foes is a sharp shift from traditional boundaries meant to prevent DOJ from becoming a legal, political arm of the president.

The comments underscore Trump’s frustrations in his second term with his long-time critics, and comes as the administration has signaled it has an interest in silencing voices with which it disagrees.

ABC indefinitely suspended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel days ago after pressure from the chair of the Federal Communications Commission ,and the Trump administration has signaled a crackdown on liberal groups with which it disagrees.

The mainstream media has been bending the knee to Trump since before he returned to the White House, so they seem surprised when brave voices continue to stand their ground and tell the truth about Donald Trump.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) showed that the president’s censorship campaign will not silence her.

CNN’s Dana Bash asked Rep. Crockett, “Do you have a responsibility as an elected official not to raise the temperature, but rather lower the temperature, particularly when there are people out there who listen to elected officials all over the place who are not well who use that as a way to instigate the political violence that you are calling out?”

The Texas Democrat replied:

I think that my responsibility is to be transparent and to be honest.

And the reality is that we are living in a time in which this administration and this regime is not interested in making sure that people understand history. We need to understand why they are so problematic. And so I am using that language because it is accurate language when we see the consolidation of power, when we see them trying to chill speech of jokesters, when we’re seeing all of this.

That is a playbook out of Hitler. And I won’t deny it. Like, these are the facts. But one of the things that I have never done that the president has done consistently is called specifically for violence. He has said, oh, beat that one up. He has said those types of things.

A massive memorial was held for Charlie Kirk, a young conservative leader slain by an assassin’s bullet on September 10. The Glendale, Arizona State Farm Stadium was fully packed with supporters, friends, family, and colleagues.

The ceremony began with evangelical worship songs, filling the stadium with prayer and communion, bringing people together in faith. Kirk was just 31 years old when he was shot and killed while hosting an open debate with students at Utah Valley University.

Many people who worked with Kirk spoke of his legacy, sharing personal memories and moments they had spent with him over his short life. Those in attendance flew in from across the country.

The White House sent two planes full of staffers and administration officials to the memorial. Members of the Cabinet were in attendance, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and many others.

Charlie Kirk ‘Was Doing the Thing that the People in Charge Hate Most… Calling for Them to Repent’– www.breitbart.com

Excerpt:

Tucker Carlson delivered a Christ-centered speech at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Arizona on Sunday, receiving thunderous applause after encouraging the crowd to listen to the assassinated Turning Point USA founder’s message of faith.

The conservative commentator took to the stage at State Farm Stadium in Glendale in front of tens of thousands of people to shift their focus to Kirk’s “Christian Evangelist” beliefs:

“This is the most unbelievable thing I think I’ve ever seen,” Carlson began, referring to the enormous, lively audience. “Whatever happens next in America — I hope it’s in this direction, because God is here, and you can feel it. And Charlie would have loved this, not just because he loved large groups of people, but because ultimately, he was a Christian evangelist.”

Carlson then brought up how people conspired against Jesus in the Bible: 

It actually reminds me of my favorite story ever. So it’s about 2000 years ago in Jerusalem, and Jesus shows up, and he starts talking about the people in power and he starts doing the worst thing that you can do, which is telling the truth about people — and they hate it, and they just go bonkers. They hate it, and they become obsessed with making him stop. ‘This guy’s got to stop talking. We’ve got to shut this guy up.’ And I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about, ‘What do we do about this guy telling the truth about us? We must make him stop talking.’ And there’s always one guy with the bright idea, and I can just hear him say, ‘I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we just kill him? That’ll shut him up, that’ll fix the problem.’

It doesn’t work that way. It doesn’t work that way. Everything is inverted, and the Beatitudes tell it, I think, the most crisply, that everything is sort of the opposite of what you think it’s going to be.
