Update: 2025-12-18
Description
Reid Carter examines the political assassination that divided America along completely different lines than the Mangione case. September 10, 2025: Charlie Kirk, 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA and Trump's closest youth ally, shot in the neck during a campus event in Utah. Single bullet from 142 yards. Tyler Robinson, 22, surrendered the next day after his parents recognized him from surveillance footage. His trans partner shared his confession texts: "I had enough of his hatred." Death penalty sought. First in-person court appearance last week. Widow Erika Kirk took over Turning Point and publicly forgave the killer. Memorial drew 100,000. The assassination that became a rallying cry, not a celebration.
