Charlie Kirk was a prominent American conservative political activist, author, and media personality. He co-founded Turning Point USA (TPUSA), a conservative organization aimed at promoting conservative principles on college campuses across the United States. He was also the CEO of Turning Point Action and played a significant role in mobilizing young conservatives and voters, especially in support of Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. Kirk was known for his outspoken views on issues like gun rights, gender identity, immigration, and Christian nationalism. He hosted "The Charlie Kirk Show," a popular podcast and radio program, and frequently appeared on Fox News. Tragically, he was shot and killed in 2025 while speaking at a Turning Point USA event on a college campus. His work involved grassroots political organizing, influencing youth and religious communities, conservative media, and advocacy for Republican candidates and causes.
