Katie Pavlich's Friendship With Charlie Kirk Since 2011

Showing 7 Katie Pavlich videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Katie Pavlich's friendship with Charlie Kirk began online in 2011, back when Twitter was still new, and became personal in 2013 when the two finally met at Fox News. Both had entered conservative media around the same time, during the Tea Party era, though by different paths: Pavlich moved to Washington from Arizona to build a career in politics while still finishing college, and Kirk skipped college altogether to build Turning Point USA and get his message onto television. She has described him as someone who reached out early, emailing her directly to talk about the ideology he was noticing spread on college campuses and the direction he wanted to take his own generation. After the assassination, Pavlich was one of the first friends to speak publicly, telling Fox's The Five that Kirk had touched millions and insisting his death was not an accident but the direct result of changing minds on campus, a framing she returned to on other shows in the days that followed, urging Americans to continue his work rather than retreat from it. As a Fox News contributor and editor of Townhall, she has kept covering the story since, from courtroom reporting on the Robinson case to interviews inside the Trump White House.
