Overview
- On Tuesday, Karoline Leavitt shared to her personal Instagram a screenshot linking the 5:57 p.m. Utah tremor to Acts 7:57, adding the caption “Wow.”
- The repost cited numerology that casts 40 as trials and 41 as a shift, portraying the quake as a sign connected to Charlie Kirk’s death.
- University of Utah instruments recorded a magnitude 4.1 earthquake at 5:57 p.m. local time that night; the linkage to the shooting is an interpretive claim, not a verified causal connection.
- Kirk, 31, was killed by a single gunshot to the neck while speaking at Utah Valley University, prompting tributes from prominent conservatives.
- Vice President J.D. Vance praised Kirk’s influence and partly blamed left-wing extremism for the assassination, and Leavitt has publicly described Kirk as a supporter and friend.
