Roger Stone on Kirk's Kindness During His 2019 FBI Raid

Showing 11 Roger Stone videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Roger Stone's connection to Charlie Kirk predates the assassination by years, most vividly in Stone's own account of the day 29 FBI agents raided his home in 2019 with CNN cameras present, when Kirk called him that same day with what Stone has described as genuinely steadying spiritual advice rather than political commentary. That personal history shaped how Stone processed Kirk's death: less as a political loss to be analyzed and more as the murder of someone who'd shown him real kindness during his own lowest moment.

Stone's public response drew heavily on his decades of assassination research, particularly his own published work on the Kennedy killing, to argue Kirk's case showed troubling parallels: an incomplete account of the shooting's timeline, unresolved questions about the crime scene, and what he considered premature closure of an investigation before all evidence had been examined. He was careful to separate that skepticism from calls for political retaliation, distinguishing between protected criticism and genuine incitement while arguing Kirk's death would galvanize a generation of young conservatives the way, in Stone's comparison, Barry Goldwater's candidacy had galvanized an earlier one.
