The World Mourns Conservative Activist Charlie Kirk
Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk lived his life with courage and stood up for what he believed in wholeheartedly.
Charlie co-founded his organization, Turning Point USA, seeking to inspire the younger generation to embrace free speech. According to its website, Turning Point’s mission is to “identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.”
Last Wednesday (September 10), Charlie was tragically shot and killed while doing what he loved, speaking on a college campus in Orem, Utah.
In the wake of his death, millions of people are remembering the 31-year-old and his remarkable legacy.
On Monday (September 15), Vice President JD Vance hosted Charlie’s podcast, The Charlie Kirk Show, in his honor.
As the broadcast began, a montage of Charlie speaking and interacting with others played, set to Andrew Word’s acoustic worship song, “Unfailing.”
“I’m filling in for somebody who cannot be filled in for, but I’m going to try to do my best,” JD said.
The Vice President and Charlie were dear friends, and JD credits much of where he is today to the conservative influencer.
“The last several days have been extremely hard for our country,” Vance said. “They’ve been hard for me, hard for my family, hard for the countless people in this building [the White House] … Every single person in this building owes something to Charlie.”
