Clips of Charlie Kirk smiling with his wife, cradling his newborn, and laughing with his kids are suddenly impossible to watch.
The 31-year-old conservative commentator and founder of Turning Point USA was shot dead during an event in Utah on September 10, leaving behind his wife and two young children.
What were once feel-good family moments are now gut-wrenching reminders of everything he had ahead of him — moments his children will never get back.
On social media, tributes are flooding in. Supporters call it a “political assassination,” while even his critics have expressed shock and grief. The scenes from his rallies, where he often spoke of faith and family, now feel unbearably heavy.
It’s not just America that’s reacting — the world is watching, crying, and struggling to process how a man so young, with so much more to do, could be taken like this.
Rest in peace, Charlie.
