"He's 31, he is very young. He founded this group, Turning Point USA, which is one of the premier, if not the premier, conservative political groups around, and it started to eclipse the Conservative Political Action Conference or Committee, the CPAC conference that's held every year. He grew very close to Donald Trump. He could certainly be said to be a Donald Trump confidant in good standing, someone who is incredibly supportive of the president"
"He's a very smart guy. He is the voice of young conservatives. And I don't know his conditionI don't think any of us do currentlybut it's been said that assassination is the extreme form of censorship. Whether he's actually been killed or not, we don't know, but it certainly looks like a very politically motivated shooting. And the aftereffects of this are certainly going to be terrible."
Charlie Kirk, age 31, founded Turning Point USA, a leading conservative group that began to eclipse CPAC and became closely aligned with Donald Trump. The shooting of Kirk appears politically motivated and raises concerns about assassination framed as an extreme form of censorship. Observers note uncertainty about Kirk's condition and predict severe aftereffects. A prior incident in Washington, D.C., was used to justify deployment of federal forces, creating concern that the administration could cite the Kirk shooting to justify similar actions. The immediate consequences and next steps remain uncertain.
