‘The View’ Co-Hosts Decry Political Violence In Wake Of Charlie Kirk Assassination; Whoopi Goldberg Calls Murder “A Horror”

The View co-hosts expressed sorrow and condemned political violence after conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a father of two, was fatally shot on a Utah college campus.

  • The View co-hosts joined forces Thursday to condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk, 31-year-old conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder, who was shot Wednesday at Utah Valley University.
  • Goldberg linked the shooting to a wider rise in political violence in recent years, citing attacks on Donald Trump, and the June 14, 2025 murders of Melissa Hortman and her husband.
  • Alyssa Farah Griffin said, "Listen, regardless of your politics, we have got to get to a place in this country where we see people we disagree with not as our enemies but as fellow Americans with different viewpoints that we are willing to engage," and investigators said a suspect remained at large Thursday, recovering a weapon and good footage.
  • After airing bipartisan tributes, The View noted bipartisan political figures condemned violence, President Donald Trump wrote `The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead`, and Alyssa Farah Griffin warned this will hit young Republicans hard.
  • Reflecting on past eras, Joy Behar invoked 1960s assassinations while Sara Haines noted the irony of Kirk being killed while discussing gun violence at Utah Valley University and concerns about campus free speech.
