US right-wing activist Charlie Kirk has died after being shot at a university in Utah, President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday, hailing his close ally as “legendary.”
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”
