Charlie Kirk was a modern day prophet. . . .

Not a false one. 

A real prophet saying true things changing people's minds to accept true statements of fact. He was a modern day prophet of God through the Holy Ghost and the will of the Saviour Jesus Christ. Yes. Charlie Kirk was a prophet. His murder was of a chosen man of God.

To be clear, IMO prophets are not saints. Prophets are less fortunate than saints. 

Charlie Kirk, 31, husband, father of 2, founder of Turning Point USA, shot dead on the stage while speaking in Utah

Grok xAI, did you hear what happened to Charlie Kirk in Utah?

Yes, I've heard about the tragic incident involving Charlie Kirk. Today, September 10, 2025, during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, as part of his "American Comeback Tour," Kirk was shot in the neck by an unknown assailant from an elevated position approximately 100-200 yards away. 

He was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, but unfortunately, he has since passed away, as confirmed by President Donald Trump on Truth Social, Turning Point USA's official statement, and multiple news outlets. 

Kirk, the 31-year-old founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, leaves behind his wife, Erika Frantzve, and their two young children, who were reportedly present at the event. The shooting has drawn widespread condemnation across the political spectrum as an act of political violence. 

Trump described Kirk as a "Great, and even Legendary" patriot who understood the "Heart of the Youth in the United States" better than anyone, and ordered U.S. flags to be lowered to half-staff until September 14. Vice President JD Vance called him a "genuinely good guy and a young father" and urged prayers. 

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox emphasized that "violence has no place in our public life," while California Gov. Gavin Newsom labeled the attack "disgusting, vile, and reprehensible." Former President Barack Obama also condemned it, stating such violence "has no place in our democracy." 

I know you are resting in peace, Charlie.

Still can’t believe this happened.

Your memory lives strong. https://t.co/zxVnUVNb1Q

No suspect is in custody, and a manhunt is underway, with authorities searching for the weapon used. This is a developing story, and reactions on social media reflect deep shock and grief, with some expressing outrage at those celebrating the incident. My thoughts are with Kirk's family and loved ones during this devastating time.

Then there's this reaction as Dems try desperately to hide their sadistic glee
