OutKick Personalities React to Charlie Kirk's Sudden Assassination
Showing 4 OutKick videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
OutKick personalities delivered emotional, largely unscripted reactions to Charlie Kirk's assassination, with one host recording a middle-of-the-night segment describing the killing as an attack from within the country comparable in weight, though different in kind, to the September 11th attacks she'd lived through as a young child. Another host walked through the full arc of his own emotional response across the following week, moving from disbelief through grief into anger before finding a measure of hope after hearing Erika Kirk's public remarks, while explicitly working to reframe his anger through what he described as a more Christlike lens. Riley Gaines, a recurring voice in OutKick's broader sports commentary, separately described her own experience being forced to compete against a transgender athlete at the NCAA Championships as a formative moment that redirected her career from dentistry toward public advocacy on women's sports, a cause she has since connected to Erika Kirk's growing platform among young conservative women.
