Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk is dead, President Donald Trump confirmed Wednesday.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” the president posted on Truth Social. “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie.”
“He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us,” the president added. “Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”
“It is with a heavy heart that we, the Turning Point USA leadership team, write to notify you that, earlier this afternoon, Charlie went to his eternal reward with Jesus Christ in Heaven,” Justin Streiff, chief operations officer at Turning Point USA, wrote in an email to staff that was obtained by The Daily Signal.
