Did Charlie Kirk predict his own assassination? Old video of Trump’s ally surfaces hours after his killing and goes viral

Hours after conservative activist and US President Donald Trump’s ally, Charlie Kirk, was fatally shot, a video surfaced on the Internet in which the right-wing commentator was seen speaking about leftists who he claimed are violent and can do anything against right-wingers and conservatives.

The video, which seemed to be a clip from one of Kirk’s interviews, was shared by RT News. In the 33-second clip, he said that liberals can’t beat the conservatives in debates so they resort to the use of weapons. Stressing the need for full time security, Kirk said the people from the left are possibly doing everything to stop conservatives and this is not a joke anymore.

“At the core of the left, at the core of a liberal, there is someone that would use the sword if they had it. They are very violent people, they always have been. They can’t debate, they can’t have conversations, so they resort to these tactics,” Kirk said in the video.


“They are going to do everything they possibly can to try to murder this movement because they can’t beat us so they’re going to try and take weapons and no we’re very aware of that, I am very aware of it that we need full time security. This is not a joke and this is who these people are,” he added.

Charlie Kirk assassination

The shooting came as Kirk, the president of Turning Point USA, was addressing a large outdoor crowd on the Utah Valley University campus in Orem, Utah. The Utah governor described Kirk's death as a "political assassination." The motive is unknown and it was not clear whether a suspect had been arrested.

Authorities had yet to publicly identify a suspect several hours after the shooting. No suspect was in custody, news agency Reuters reported, citing US media reports. FBI Director Kash Patel said an unnamed person had been detained for questioning, then released. "Our investigation continues," he wrote on social media.

Kirk had 5.3 million followers on his X account and drew an audience of more than 500,000 monthly listeners to podcasts of his radio program, "The Charlie Kirk Show." He also authored or contributed to several books, including "Time for a Turning Point" and "The College Scam."

Charlie Kirk assassination: Donald Trump reacts

US President Donald Trump also reacted to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who played a key role in his return to the White House after 2024 US presidential polls. In a video message recorded in the Oval Office and posted to his Truth Social online platform, Trump vowed that his administration would locate the suspect.

"My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it," Trump said.
