Graham Believes Trump Sees Kirk’s Death ‘as an Attack on His Political Movement’

Senator Graham described the killing as a politically motivated attack, urging supporters to counter violence with voter registration and political engagement, citing 18,000 new chapter requests to TPUSA.

  • Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was killed on Wednesday while participating in a "Prove Me Wrong" debate event at Utah Valley University.
  • Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, accusing him of the killing, and Utah Governor Spencer Cox noted the suspect’s friends were active on the deep internet interested in Reddit culture.
  • Senator Lindsey Graham characterized Kirk’s assassination as a violent assault targeting the conservative movement established by President Trump and strongly denounced all forms of political violence.
  • Graham expressed that certain groups on the left are attempting to portray the MAGA movement negatively and encouraged people to respond to political disagreements through activism rather than violence.
  • The incident has intensified calls to repeal Section 230 and motivated conservatives to organize, debate, and prepare for the 2026 elections without retaliation.
