Overview
- In a Fox News Outnumbered interview on Dec. 10, the Turning Point USA CEO called the swirling claims about Charlie Kirk’s murder a “mind virus,” stressed that her silence is not complicity, and vowed to defend her family and colleagues.
- Kirk said TPUSA staff who witnessed the Sept. 10 shooting are traumatized and facing death and kidnapping threats, and she urged detractors to stop targeting them.
- She asked for privacy around her husband’s gravesite to preserve a sacred space for their children, while saying TPUSA will build a public, museum-style memorial to honor him.
- Kirk said every tip is forwarded to authorities and that she wants justice, as officials maintain suspect Tyler James Robinson acted alone in the killing and prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.
- A judge has allowed Robinson to wear street clothes in court and his next hearing is set for Jan. 16, while TPUSA associates plan a Dec. 15 public rebuttal to claims amplified by Candace Owens, who has declined to attend.
