Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Wednesday while speaking on the Utah Valley University (UVU) campus, drawing swift condemnation of political violence from New York political figures.
Kirk, 31, co-founded Turning Point USA, a nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative politics on high school, college, and university campuses. He was also a radio host and close ally of President Donald Trump, often credited with helping mobilize young conservative voters in last year’s presidential election.
