Dave Portnoy Said Donald Trump Played a ‘Huge Part’ in Charlie Kirk’s Death and MAGA Is Raging

Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during a University of Utah event where he challenged liberal ideas; President Trump ordered flags at half mast, and Obama condemned the violence.

  • Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck during a University of Utah event Wednesday and confirmed dead an hour later; suspect Tyler Robinson was taken into custody Friday.
  • With investigators still probing, Kirk was touring on the 'Prove Me Wrong' series where he challenged liberal ideas, making him a polarizing figure.
  • In the days after the killing, politicians and media figures reacted as President Barack Obama condemned the murder and The Hollywood Reporter later revised disputed quotes blaming South Park, with Comedy Central reportedly pulling the Kirk parody episode.
  • President Donald Trump ordered U.S. flags at half mast and announced Kirk's funeral for Sunday at a Glendale, Arizona stadium, while calling for the death penalty and retaliation against the killer.
  • The killing intensified debates about guns and political violence, with gun control sidelined despite a Colorado school shooting the same day and 500 million civilian-owned firearms noted Saturday; American public and legislators express safety anxiety.
