Trump Mourns Charlie Kirk as Social Media Erupts in Grief and Celebration

[00:00] Influential conservative activist

[00:02] Charlie Kirk was assassinated during a

[00:03] campus speaking event in Utah. President

[00:06] Trump announced Kirk's death in a post

[00:08] on Truth Social, writing, "The great and

[00:11] even legendary Charlie Kirk is dead. No

[00:14] one understood or had the heart of the

[00:15] youth in the United States of America

[00:17] better than Charlie. He was loved and

[00:19] admired by all, especially me. And now

[00:22] he is no longer with us." Melania and my

[00:24] sympathies go out to his beautiful wife

[00:26] Erica and family. Charlie, we love you.

[00:30] While many social media users expressed

[00:32] their heartbreak and horror at Kirk's

[00:34] passing, thousands of sick users also

[00:36] flooded social media to celebrate the

[00:38] passing of the co-founder of Turning

[00:40] Point USA. Disturbing reactions ranged

[00:43] from mocking memes to outright cheering.

[00:49] Clap if you care.

[00:53] >> All right, let's move on. One user

[00:55] shared a video of herself dancing with a

[00:57] caption that read, "Charlie Kirk was

[00:59] just shot in the neck. This is cause for

[01:01] celebration." Others have shared images

[01:04] showing party balloons and memes with

[01:05] phrases like rest and piss. The popular

[01:09] ex account Lives of Tik Tok posted a

[01:11] disturbing compilation of people openly

[01:13] mocking Kirk's death. The post called

[01:16] out the deranged leftists as pure evil.

[01:19] Kirk was a father of two who boasted

[01:21] millions of followers and billions of

[01:22] views for videos in which he would

[01:24] engage in fiery debates with students on

[01:26] college campuses. Speech is not a

[01:28] left-wing value. And they do not believe

[01:31] in freedom of speech. They believe in

[01:32] totalitarian control. There are

[01:34] exceptions to that. So if they have a

[01:36] problem, I I think this is one of the

[01:38] best ways, not the best way. I literally

[01:40] could not be more open to disagreement.

[01:43] I say if you disagree, you go to the

[01:44] front of the line.
