Charlie Kirk, conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot during an appearance at Utah Valley University,

Known for opposing gun control, climate policies, civil rights legislation, and 2SLGBTQ+ issues,
Kirk also hosted a popular podcast and radio show that influenced many young voters.

Divisive Debate and Fallout
On August 7, Kirk told Megyn Kelly he was called anti-Semitic after moderating a heated foreign policy debate.
