Who was Charlie Kirk?
Kirk was a prominent right‑wing political activist, author, and one of the popular Trump allies. He was best known as the founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), a nonprofit that seeks to spread conservative ideas to students on US campuses. He launched it at age 18. Known for his staunch support of Donald Trump and provocative political style, Kirk was often described as the "youth whisperer" of the American right. He grew up in Illinois and first gained popularity after writing for Breitbart and appearing on Fox Business at age 17. Though he briefly attended college, he dropped out to pursue full-time activism.
Kirk hosted The Charlie Kirk Show, a three-hour daily radio programme since October 2020, which ran via Turning Point Live. He once shared that he had “no money, no connections and no idea what I was doing”, but TPUSA grew rapidly and changed his life. He has 5.2 million followers on X and 7.3 million followers on TikTok. Kirk, an advocate of Christian nationalism, opposed mask mandates, DEI programs, climate action, and the Civil Rights Act. He was involved in Trump’s 2024 campaign.
