Following the death of Charlie Kirk, President Donald Trump released a video message from the oval office vowing to “find each and every one of those who contributed” Kirk’s assassination.
Kirk, cofounder and executive director of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), was shot in the neck while speaking at his “American Comeback Tour” stop at Utah Valley University.
Kirk was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
During a press conference that followed Kirk death, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox referred to the shooting a “political assassination.”
