Bill Maher Says Charlie Kirk Murder Is Evidence Lots of People Want War

Charlie Kirk, a prominent MAGA activist, was fatally shot during a public event; the shooter remains unidentified as investigations continue, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Charlie Kirk was shot during an event at Utah Valley University and later died from his injuries; 22-year-old Tyler Robinson has been accused of the killing.
  • Kirk's shift toward criticizing Israel prompted private pushback and threatening messages from pro-Israel donors, which he discussed publicly in an August 6 interview.
  • A Mauser.30 caliber bolt-action rifle and text messages and Discord chats have been recovered, with cooperating associate Lance Twiggs providing information to the FBI.
  • A suspect has been detained, yet investigators say a motive remains unclear and Utah Governor Spencer Cox described Robinson as `deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology`.
  • Coverage of the killing quickly prompted Bill Maher, 'Real Time' host, to condemn bipartisan blame while Ben Shapiro, founder of The Daily Wire, cited 42% of youth accepting violence as speech response.
