Kirk - a commentator of Podkastov and founder of Turning Point USA - died from a gunshot wound to the neck during an event at the University of Uta Valley on September 10. The performance took place during a trip to student campuses under the slogan "Tour of the Return of America."
Donald Trump, who announced the arrest of the suspect in the murder of 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, said that if his guilt was established, the shooter should be sentenced to the death penalty. In his social network Truth Social, the president called Kirka “great” and “legendary” and expressed his condolences to the widow of Kirk Eric and their family (the couple has two children). "Charlie, we love you!" - wrote Trump.
Immediately after the murder, the president said that the “radical left” are responsible for most of the political violence in the country. Trump announced to the reporters: “We have radical left -wing madmen, and we just need to beat them to the Beat the Hell Out of them).” However, the president’s words can be understood metaphorically (he hinted at the need for the political victory of the American right over the American left), Trump said later that he would like his supporters to respond to the murder of Kirk “non -power”.
At some point, Einley Erhardt, one of the conservative leading Fox & Friends programs, asked Trump the “inconvenient” question: “We have radicals on the right. How do we fix this country? " The president, without waiting for the question to be asked entirely, answered. “I will tell you something that can create problems for me, but I don’t care.
The radicals on the right are often radical because they do not want to see crimes. The radicals on the left are a problem, they are cruel, they are terrible and they are politically subsidized. ” As you can see, the president considers the “political fit” as a “threat”.
Trump said that in relation to the 95-year-old philanthropist George Soros and his family, an investigation should be launched for “left campaign”. Soros was a large sponsor of liberal groups and a long -standing target for the right. Not without former President Joseph Biden. The current owner of the White House said that he had no idea what was happening while the “radical left-handed” advisers took control of the country. Trump announced that he would award Kirka as a presidential freedom medal posthumously.
Jay Di Wans canceled a trip to New York to an event related to the 21st anniversary of the attack of terrorists on September 11, in order to accompany the body from Utah to Arizona on board his vice-presidential aircraft, where the funeral will be held on September 21. Further - more. Vance as a presenter acted in the program "Show Charlie Kirka" in the "honor of the deceased friend." (Another great friend of the deceased-Donald Trump-Ml. Called Kirka "Rock-star of the Republican Party"). Vance said that it was Kirk that he called when he considered the opportunity to run for the Senate in 2021, and later he supported his candidacy for the post of vice president "both publicly and in private."
Among the guests of the program were the White House spokesman Karolin Livitt, a former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Minister of Health and Social Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the head of the White House apparatus Susie Wiles. Vance announced that the left -wingers were to blame for death, calling "incredibly destructive the movement of the left extremism, which has intensified over the past few years and is one of the causes of Charlie’s death from the killer's bullet."

The deputy head of the White House apparatus, Stephen Miller, spoke threats to political opponents: “We will direct all our anger at the organized campaign, which led to the murder, to eradicate and eliminate these terrorist networks. We will use all the resources available in the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Internal Security and throughout the government to identify, stop, dismantle and destroy these networks and make America safe for the American people. ”
Democrats leaders condemn the murder and call for the unification of the nation before the threat of a new wave of violence, but their voices are drowning in the stream of direct calls for revenge.
Stewart Roads, pardoned by Trump, founder of the extreme right -wing organization, “Guardians of the Oath”, sentenced to participate in the riots in the Capitol on January 6, called on the president to declare martial law and mobilize the veterans as the leaders of the militia during a performance at the show of the conservative presenter Alex Jones. Referring to the murder of Kirk, the growth of crime, problems with immigration and resistance to Trump’s left -wing politics, Roads called on the president to apply the Law on the uprising and call the left -wing politicians “open rebels”. He stated that veterans are “preparing an offer” to Trump, which describes how they can organize and train civilians to protect their communities in emergency situations.
The law of 1807 gives the president the powers to use the US armed forces to ensure that the law and suppress events such as civil unrest.
Although there are no absolute analogies in history, the former envoy of the President of the Russian Federation Igor Rurikovich Kholmansky was remembered, when he was his head of the Uralvagonzavoda assembly workshop, who offered assistance to President Putin to accelerate rallies in 2011: “If our police, or, as it is now called, the police cannot work, then we are ready to cope with our ourselves and defend our own and defend our own and deflect our own and deflect our own Stability ".
Returning to America. Donald Trump, without waiting for the mass riots,, under the pretext of war with crime, had already introduced federal forces into Los Angeles (the court imposed a ban, the White House disputed him), the district of Colombia and threatens to do this in Memphis, Chicago, and the media write about Boston.
Ryan Nichols, another participant in the riots on January 6, pardoned by Trump, called on subscribers of social networks to identify and pursue people who express joy about the murder of Kirk or criticize the personality of the deceased. “Mark them, their employers and make it embarrassed to even leave home,” he wrote on the Network of X. “New York Times” writes about specific cases when people lost their jobs, or were removed from the duties of Kirka criticism. This is now happening in the USA with its famous first amendment, guaranteeing freedom of speech.
On Tuesday, Tyler Robinson, detained in the Utah state prison without the right to make a pledge, from the suspect became accused of murder at the state level, only seven charges (federal accusations will still follow). He faces the death penalty (to which Trump called for).
According to the Governor of Utah Spencer Cox, Tyler Robinson lived in Washington County with his family, but was not a student at Utah University. The suspect does not consist in any party, and both of his parents are registered republicans. Father and mother themselves betrayed him when they saw a photograph in the media of the alleged killer. According to law enforcement officers, Robinson was imbued with the left ideology on the radical sites of Darknet. According to the director of the FBI Kash Patel, Robinson's DNA analysis corresponds to the traces of the crime scene - on a screwdriver, a trigger and a towel wrapped around the barrel from which the Kirk was killed.
Washington Post, citing police agents, said that shortly before the arrest, the suspect allegedly confessed to the deed (“Hello guys, I had bad news for you. It was me at Utah University. Excuse me for everything”) and wrote that he was going to give up. The messages were erased, as well as the alleged records of the unidentified author on the eve of the attack that Charlie Kirk was “waiting for a terrible day” and “He hopes that he would literally evaporate him (Hope Someone Evaporaates Him Literally).”
An important detail - Robinson shared housing with a certain Lance Twiggs - a person who is now undergoing a process of gender transformation from a man to a woman. Twiggs, who was not charged with involvement in the crime, “did not suspect what was happening and now works with investigators,” said CNN Governor Utah Cox. The fact is that the deceased Kirk criticized the liberal policy against transgender people: hormonal therapy for children and the participation of transgender people in women's sports competitions. “Catch, fascist” is one of several inscriptions on the shells of the shooter. Surprises the engraving “Bella Ciao”-this is the name of the song of Italian partisans-antifashists, performed by participants in the movement of resistance in the Modensky mountains during the Second World War .
Now many observers have analogies with the attacks of the ultra -right ones, which did not call in the local society the current wave with calls for violence against opponents, their dismissal from work or immediate expulsion from the country, if we are talking about immigrants.
Among the noticeable incidents preceding the death of the Kirk, who died from the wound in the hospital, was the murder of Melissa Hortman, representative of Minnesota, and her husband. Another democrat Senator John Hoffman and his wife were seriously wounded as a result of another incident. According to the authorities, the suspected of both incidents compiled a list of dozens of legislators, mainly democrats, and defenders of the right to abortion as other potential goals.

Trump, who pardoned everyone who was convicted of federal crimes related to the assault on the Capitol, even those who committed violence against police officers did not express a violent reaction when they attacked his political opponents. Neither Obama nor Biden urged the members of the proud guys, the custivators of the oath and other “nuclear trips”, noted by the willingness to apply violence. The presidents tried to Trump or at least talked about the need for a nation to unite. Trump relies only on his supporters, and the task of such as Kirk was the expansion of his electoral base.
Charlie Kirk was 18 years old when a businessman from Illinois William Montgomery, having heard him captivating the youth audience in the Catholic College, advised him to refrain from entering college and engage in political agitation of youth. When Kirk and Montgomery (he died in 2020 from the consequences of Covid-2019) founded Turning Point USA (TPUSA) in 2012, the “tea party” movement was involved in the right wing of the Republican Party, whose activists advocated restricting the role of the government. Kirk reflected this position in the impudent slogan of the organization: "Great government - sucks."
In the 2016 campaign, Kirk first supported Cruise and Rubio senators and only then moved to Trump's camp. Trump noticed a charismatic young ally who, in his first term, participated in two events within the walls of the White House. According to tax reports, during the first term Trump, the organization’s treasury increased dramatically from $ 4.3 million in 2017 to the financial year to $ 55.2 million in 2021 financial year.
Kirk’s political views have changed: from the “tea party”, which was closed with the ideas of Libertarianism, he moved to Christian conservatism. Although back in 2018, he stated that politics and religion should not be mixed.
In April 2022, speaking in a church in St. Louis, he said that he studied the religious views of the founding fathers and regrets that he did not attract the church to politics earlier. “I asked God for forgiveness,” he said in this speech.
Kirk “expands”, creating a political organization-the Turning Point Action, which raised $ 1 million in support of Trump in 2020 and not a single Center Joe Biden, who won then. Many public organizations and private donors often share contributions to both parties. But not Kirk. The religious "branch" of the organization was created - Turning Point Faith.
In his speech at the Republican Congress last year, Kirk said that statistics show that fewer young Americans have their own housing and have a family. “What our parents enjoyed is becoming more and more inaccessible to the generation Z and millennials,” he said. “The American dream has become the subject of luxury for the rich.”
I note that Trump's nuclear electorate voted against social programs of the earnings and the provision of housing to young families contained in the Kamaly Harris package.
Since 2016, the organization of Kirk has been black lists of university professors accused of left propaganda. And in 2021, they launched the School Board Watchlist (“Black List of School Councils”), which publishes the names and photographs of school councils that introduced mandatory wearing masks or anti-radi training programs.
At first, a sponsor of the Republican Party, an entrepreneur from Wyoming Foster Friss, played an important role in the formation of Kirk. He was a member of the consultative council of the organization along with Ginny Thomas, the wife of the Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States Clarens Thomas. Barry Russell, President and General Director of the Independent Oil Association of America (IPAA), is a key advice to TPUSA. This year, the annual salary of Kirk exceeded 407 thousand dollars.
Until the last, he continued to travel to universities, campaigning for the Republicans and conservatism. “I am doing work for you,” Kirk joked at the congress, turning to party bosses. Now many recall his words that the right to a second correction to personal firearms will inevitably lead to some victims, but the idea is higher than “side results”. They recall this because Kirk became a victim of a man who had access to weapons.

Fresh polls of public opinion showed that Trump rating is 41%. This is worse than most of his predecessors, starting from Clinton. But the nuclear base of “Trumpism” - white men representing the working class, fearing that immigrants will take their jobs and opposing the expenditure of budget money on international support of Ukraine, against social programs for African -Americans and other minorities (they should receive “responsible white men experiencing temporary difficulties”, and not “black lazy mothers sitting on the neck of society”)) Still a mountain for the president. They added to them, thanks to such as Kirk, "disappointed young people." The third layer is people over 64.
A curious phenomenon is noted by the political officer David Zangr.
In the second term, Trump has the absence of marches of the right radicals. This, according to the leaders of their movement, is explained by the fact that the president accepted their agenda.
“What we did and what we talked about in 2017 was a taboo. Now this is not so - now it is a mainstream, ”said Enrique Tarrio, chairman of the proud guys. - Honestly, what should we complain about these days? "
Another well -aimed remark of the observer Chongsi Devega: “Although the Republicans are“ moved by the spirit of a small state ”, as Trump expands their power and control over all the areas of American life, the same so -called fundamental conservatives, who had shouted about the“ state rights ”for decades and was unacceptably“ a large government ”, was shocked amazingly.
Right radicalism becomes "mainstream." And the split in society is expanding. Trump has the majority in the Congress, and in the Supreme Court, the advantage of conservatives - that is, control over all three branches of power. On his critics in the “fourth power” - Media, Trump was filing the courts: the defendants were ABC and CBS television companies, he just filed a lawsuit against the New York Times in the amount of $ 15 billion. Criticizing the president of the media are accused of "slander" and are declared "enemies of the people." Trump's opponents are fired from the civil service, migrants after an interview and viewing a personal iPhone at the airport may not be allowed back to the country. The murder of Kirk only adds firewood this flaring bonfire.
