Charlie Kirk is one of the biggest conservative voices in the conservative movement. At just 18 years-old, he founded Turning Point USA (TPUSA), a group that has since exploded into a nationwide force for conservative ideas, with chapters on college and high school campuses across the country. While Democrats and their media allies work overtime to indoctrinate students with socialism and woke dogma, Kirk built a grassroots army to push back and promote free markets, limited government, and traditional American values.

In addition to his work with TPUSA, Kirk hosts The Charlie Kirk Show, where he breaks down politics, culture, and current events from a pro-Trump, unapologetically conservative perspective. He’s a fixture at conservative conferences, a bestselling author, and a close ally of President Trump.
Conservative commentator Benny Johnson described Kirk as wounded, but PJ Media cannot independently verify Kirk’s condition yet.
PRAY right now for Charlie Kirk.
Pray with everything you have.
Get down on your knees and pray.
Please. I can confirm that Charlie has been wounded at an event in Utah.
Please Jesus help us now.
