JP Sears's Coverage of the Fallout From Kirk's Death

Showing 20 JP Reacts videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

JP Sears built his Awaken with JP channel's Charlie Kirk coverage around a recurring theme: distinguishing healthy grief and disagreement from what he called evil celebrating someone's death. He defended employers firing workers who publicly celebrated Kirk's assassination, arguing the practice differed from ordinary cancel culture because it responded to genuine moral failure rather than mere disagreement, and singled out British musician Bob Vylan by name after he mocked Kirk's death onstage in Europe, a performance that led to canceled shows and a revoked US visa. Sears took a more skeptical turn on Jimmy Kimmel's suspension over comments about Kirk, arguing even despicable speech deserved protection and warning that if government pressure through FCC Chairman Brendan Carr had driven Kimmel's removal, conservatives risked replicating the same First Amendment violations they had criticized under the Biden administration. He later covered leaked internal emails he said showed Turning Point USA's communications team instructing paid influencers to publicly label Candace Owens using specific terms like evil and demonic after she released her investigative trailer about Erika Kirk, treating the leak as a credibility problem for Turning Point USA regardless of whether Owens's underlying claims held up. Sears also distilled five lessons from Kirk's memorial service, including RFK Jr.'s account of Kirk choosing to die, in his words, with his boots on.
