<h2><strong>Who Was Charlie Kirk?</strong></h2>
<p>Charlie Kirk, born in 1993 in Illinois, rose from a suburban upbringing to become one of the most influential conservative activists of his generation. He dropped out of college at 18 to co-found Turning Point USA, a student organisation that grew into a powerful political force with offshoots like Turning Point Action and Turning Point Faith.</p>
<p>Kirk&rsquo;s style was combative and unapologetic. Through viral campus debates, his daily podcast, and appearances on conservative media, he pushed culture-war issues &mdash; gender, race, immigration, and faith &mdash; to the forefront. A staunch ally of Donald Trump, he played a key role in mobilising young conservatives, especially in battleground states.</p>
<p>His videos have often gone viral and are wildly popular among the right-wing youth.</p>
<p>He was also deeply polarising. Supporters praised him for challenging liberal orthodoxy, while critics accused him of spreading misinformation on elections, COVID-19, and higher education. His confrontational tactics made him both a hero and a lightning rod.</p>
<p>Kirk married Erika Frantzve in 2021 and was a father of two.</p>
