The Legacy Of Charlie Kirk

Monday, September 22nd  2025 

My Dear America:

First Of All, I want to add my voice to all of the Left Leaning Democrats who Donald Trump has called out as Lunatics and who he says are responsible for (according to Trump) pretty much all of the problems with Guns and Assassinations in this country including the Assassination of Charlie Kirk.

There are more than a few problems with Trump's laying Assassinations in general and Charlie Kirk's Assassination, in particular on Left Leaning Democrats.

One problem is the fact that almost all of the responses to Kirk's death by Democrats have included strong Condemnations of the killing of Kirk by a young man who was apparently the son of a rather noted Right Wing Republican Utah Father.  Certainly no Democrats have any problems with the Assassin's Father.  After all, it appears as though Tyler Robinson's Father was instrumental in encouraging his son to surrender to the Utah Authorities.

I don't know how stupid Donald Trump believes his supporters to be but they would have to be idiots to believe the President who has designated Left Wing Groups as the people who are largely responsible for Gun Violence in the United States of America.  The overwhelming evidence is that that Right Wing nuts have committed far more murders in America than Left Wing Nuts.  Democrats have consistently been the party who want to remove weapons of mass destruction like AR 15's from the Walmart's and Sporting Goods Stores of America, while Republicans can be heard Weeping and Wailing whenever the subject of Gun Control is discussed.

Charlie Kirk was a young handsome intelligent Influencer who seems to have espoused many of the same controversial Ultra Right Notions as those of Donald Trump and Adolph Hitler.

Kirk became a Celebrity and a Millionaire because of those marginalized Americans who he disparaged.  Kirk, in fact, did not seem to endorse hardly anything.  He, like his hero, Donald Trump, seemed to be Anti A lot of things.

Charlie Kirk was born and raised in the wealthy suburbs of Chicago and I suspect that he didn't want for much when he was growing up.  For some reason he dropped out of Harper College after One Semester.  He was also disappointed after applying to West Point and being rejected.  After suffering these setbacks Charlie Kirk began to realize what direction America was turning as Donald Trump began to emerge from the Republican Pack in the 2016 Election and in the end won that Election.

In 2012 Charlie Kirk established "Turning Point USA" with money donated from some wealthy Republican donors.  Turning Point was established as a 501 C Non profit and as Trump began to break out of the pack in 2016 Charlie Kirk began to be enamored of Donald Trump.

While Charlie could present himself as a Clean Cut All American Boy, as his influence grew with his attachment to Trump and MAGA Charlie realized that he had some talent that could be put to good use by supporting Donald Trump and appealing to his MAGA followers.  Charlie Kirk did not subscribe to the "Catching more Flies with Honey" prospect but understood that the real money and power could be found with the "more flies with vinegar" concept..

Turning Point and Charlie Kirk began to show some serious opposition to such important American concepts as Abortion, Gun Control, DEI (Diversity, Equity And Inclusion) Programs and LGBT Rights. 

Some of Charlie's other interesting and controversial opinions included the following: 

Criticizing The Civil Rights Act of 1964 as well as Criticizing Martin Luther King Jr.

Promoting Covid 19 Misinformation.

Promoting False Claims of Voter Fraud in 2020.

Opposition to Immigration and Immigrants.  

Repudiation of Liberal College Education.

Embracing of Q'anon, MAGA and Pro Trump Conspiracies.

Promoting of debunked Claims about George Floyd including accusing Floyd of illegally Counterfeiting Currency and putting a gun to the head of a pregnant woman.

Donald Trump has denied having anything to do with the firing of Jimmy Kimmel and Steven Colbert from their Late Night Talk Shows.  Trump, however, has made it clear that the thin skinned President has not found the humor of the Late Night Comedians very funny and has made it clear to his followers on Social Media that he wanted all of the Late Night Trump Critics GONE.

Well, Right now 2 down and Several more to go.  Trump has already made it clear that he wants Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers gone also.  Hopefully that won't happen but one never knows what is going to happen in Trump World.

Right now Donald Trump is doing his best to try to turn Charlie Kirk into a Folk Hero for the Ultra Right.  Hopefully most Americans will be able to see through this Right Wing Charade and recognize that it certainly is a Shame that Charlie's wife, Erika and her two children are without a husband and father.  But that does not change the fact that Charlie Kirk does not deserve to be idolized by anyone in the United States of America.  

Sincerely Yours
