Whose that ...

Charles James Kirk (October 14, 1993 – September 10, 2025) was an American conservative political activist, entrepreneur, and media personality. He co-founded the conservative organization Turning Point USA (TPUSA) in 2012 and was its executive director. He published a range of books and hosted The Charlie Kirk Show, a talk radio program. Kirk was one of the most prominent voices of the MAGA movement within the Republican Party and, since his assassination, is considered an icon of American contemporary conservatism.

Kirk was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs of Arlington Heights and Prospect Heights, briefly attending Harper College before dropping out after one semester to pursue political activism full-time. He worked with various donors to fund TPUSA, rising to prominence via informal college campus debates held at his signature "Prove Me Wrong" table. He extended TPUSA's influence through initiatives such as the Professor Watchlist and mass rallies aimed at young voters, and has since been credited with generating interest in political conservatism among American youth. Under Kirk's leadership, TPUSA developed several affiliate groups, including Turning Point Action and Turning Point Faith, with the latter aimed at mobilizing religious communities around conservative issues. Partnering with Pentecostal pastor Rob McCoy in creating Turning Point Faith, Kirk became aligned with the Christian right and began advocating for Christian nationalism.

A key ally of President Donald Trump, Kirk espoused a variety of conservative and Trumpist stances, including opposition to abortion, gun control, DEI programs, and LGBT rights. His more controversial and divisive views included his criticism of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Martin Luther King Jr., as well as his promotion of COVID-19 misinformation, false claims of electoral fraud in 2020, and the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.

On September 10, 2025, Kirk was assassinated while speaking at a TPUSA public debate event on the Utah Valley University campus. His death sparked international attention and the subsequent condemnation of political violence by prominent domestic and international figures, as well as partisan dispute and recriminations. Trump announced that Kirk would posthumously receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
