Republicans and Democrats laud Kirk’s ability to motivate young voters

According to republican and democratic strategists, Charlie Kirk, the conservative thousand -year -year -year -year -year -old impressive Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in Utah to support the GOP of young Americans, was the most influential modern catalyst of changing voting tendencies among new voters.

In 2012, Kirk founded the United States at the age of 18 and became a force that encourages conservative views on high school and university campuses throughout the country.

Shawn Steel, who recognized Kirk from Orange County for about ten years and invited him to talk before the conservative routing committee of RNC, said, ör He found something that none of us have defined among young people. ”

Former representative Michelle Steel’s husband Steel said, “He found a whole thing that they were not even aware of the fact that conservatives could find in the United States. Not only that, but the new generation of conservatives created and created secondary.” “The legacy will withstand.”

The admiration of Kirk’s political organization skills and mental sharpness was cut in political lines.

Stephanie Cutter, who served as a consultant to the presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris, said, “Whether you agree with him or not – and it was one of the brightest political organizers of his generations and was probably generations.” “It may be controversial, but he hit a nerve with people who left in politics before the turning point and built a strong movement.”

When Kirk tried to climb the career staircase and tried to buy a house, Kirk has adopted the conservative views as well as to appeal to young voters about the economic winds they encountered.

The fact that traditional conservative views-fighting against turmoil, pro-weapon rights and climate change is suspicious-Kirk, if he saw a black aircraft pilot last year, criticized his gay and transgender rights, diversity, equality and efforts to include. Repeated comments about the power of Jewish donors in the United States and interpretations of “greatly dedicated Islamic regions” as a threat to America ”were accused of being Islamophobic.

31 -year -old Kirk and a two -year -old father died on Wednesday after he was shot on his neck while talking at Utah Valley University. The assassination of Kirk was the last example of political violence in a more and more polarized country.

In June, Democratic Minnesota representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, while the state senator John Hoffman and his wife survived a fire in their homes about five miles on the same day. In 2022, a home invader, Bludgeoned his husband’s husband, then home speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco). In 2017, the majority of the house was taken during an application session for a year-old congress baseball game. In 2011, when the representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) Came together with the components in a Tucson Strip Shopping Center, he barely survived an assassination attempt.

President Trump survived two assassination attempts in 2024 because he wanted to be re -elected to the White House.

Kirk’s mission was to bring young people to the political process he did better than anyone else, to share his love for the country and to spread simple words to the campuses throughout the country, ”he said.

On Thursday, Trump told journalists about the southern grass of the White House, reiterating that Kirk was partly responsible for his victory in the 2024 Presidential elections and that he would give Kirk a medal of freedom after his death.

Founded a month before Kirk high school graduation, Turning Point USA became the new face of conservatism in university campuses and there were departments in more than 800 schools. The leading conservatives were heavily financed; In the financial year, which ended in June 2024, Turning Point reported $ 85 million revenue.

GOP activist Jon Fleischman for a long time, former General Manager of California Republican Party and former President of the Young Americans Department of the State in the early 1990s, Kirk, said it was very important for Trump’s elections.

“Charlie Kirk was probably the most important and successful youth organizer of the Trump movement, Fle said Fleiscman, and added that Kirk has replaced the other GOP organizer, which he knows that he knows that he had increased conservative expectations among young voters.

“As a youth organizer, as a person who cuts his teeth, I have nothing but fear of the sophisticated level he brings to that business field,” he said.

According to data compiled by Tufts University, Trump support among young voters in the 2024 Presidential elections increased exponentially. Mayor Biden had an advantage of 25 points on Trump among the voters between the ages of 18 and 29 in the 2020 elections, while Harris had a four -point advantage between this cohort last year.

“This last election was the best performance that the male voters, perhaps the 80s, with the youth votes of the Republicans, perhaps the best performance of male voters, perhaps,” he said.

For this success, Kirk has led to his work in colleges around the country, and is especially willing to argue with people who do not agree with their beliefs.

“Charlie was basically a Renaissance man who was comfortable in many environments. He was not Hoity-Tity,” he said.

Deace and others added that this moment could be a turning point for the country’s democracy and the left and right division.

Deace said, ız We will make a real speech on whether we can share a country. It may be we cannot answer, ”he said. “We should decide whether we can make the basic differences between the decision of the decision in the ballot…. We should decide whether we can share a country. If we really want, we will solve it.

Roger Stone, the Bombastist conservative commentator, went further further, arguing that modern democrats were a greater threat to the nation than terrorists, drug cartels and foreign spies.

Stone wrote to the supporters, “Rotten too deep to reverse our track with rhetoric,” Stone wrote to the supporters. “September 10, 2025, Rubicon passed, we lost our innocence and we noticed that there was only one way to ensure that humanity survive.
