Early on Sunday, the White House shared a video marking the one-year anniversary of the failed assassination attempt on President Donald Trump — who, at the time, was running for reelection against former President Joe Biden.
The video shared several clips of Trump throughout the years — including a segment with longtime television host Oprah Winfrey in which they discussed his potential future in politics — and one comment that has resonated through many areas of his life: &#8220;Donald Trump seems to always get stronger with challenges.&#8221;
&#8220;One year ago today, an assassin opened fire on President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania,&#8221; the caption read. &#8220;The bullet hit—but by the grace of God, he stood up. Bloodied. Unbowed. And he fought harder. July 13th is a reminder: we fight, we win, AND WE NEVER SURRENDER.&#8221;

That was what the people saw on July 13, 2024, when shots rang out during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — and then everyone saw then-candidate Donald Trump go down. But within seconds, it seemed, he was back on his feet. His hand was raised in a fist as Secret Service agents swarmed him, surrounding him and attempting to keep his head down.
&#8220;Fight! Fight! Fight!&#8221; Trump could be seen shouting as he was practically carried from the stage, his face and shirt bloodied from the attack.
Just days later, his ear bandaged to cover up the damage done in the shooting, Trump was back in the arena at the Republican National Convention — and by then it was the crowd shouting back at him, &#8220;Fight! Fight! Fight!&#8221;

‘July 13th Is A Reminder’: White House Shares Video Marking One Year Since Assassination Attempt

A Democrat strategist referred to the late conservative commentator Charlie Kirk as a professional cancel culture martyr and called his campus tour a &#8220;content farm for white supremacy&#8221; just days before he was assassinated at a campus event in Orem, Utah.
Gabi Finlayson — whose professional credits include work for political campaigns for high profile Democrats like former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and former President Joe Biden — gave a primer on Kirk&#8217;s planned college campus tour, referring to the Turning Point USA founder as the ringleader for &#8220;little baby fascists.&#8221;

&#8220;Today&#8217;s &#8216;Fresh Hill&#8217; is that Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, is bringing his so-called American Comeback Tour to two campuses near you,&#8221; she said. Standing in front of a white board, she punctuated several of her statements by holding up post-it notes and then sticking them to the board.
&#8220;He is starting his tour at UVU on September 10th, and then he&#8217;ll be back in Utah on the 30th at Utah State,&#8221; she continued, adding in slightly lower tones, &#8220;Terrible demon boy.&#8221;
&#8220;Charlie Kirk is one of these campus tour speakers that always sparks controversy, and for very good reason,&#8221; Finlayson added, claiming that TPUSA had initially been about honest debate, but had since become something very different.
&#8220;Since its founding, it abandoned this non-partisan debate journey that it was on, and [is] now a content farm for white supremacy, cancel culture martyrdom, conspiracy theorists, and all too often these mega conventions where little baby fascists get to cosplay as freedom fighters,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;So not only is Turning Point USA controversial, but Charlie Kirk, the founder himself, is exceptionally controversial,&#8221; Finlayson concluded.

Dem Strategist Called Charlie Kirk A ‘Terrible Demon Boy’ Just Days Before Murder

An Office Depot employee from Portage, Michigan, no longer has a job after refusing to print a poster for a local memorial service for assassinated conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, hosted by Michigan Forward.
The employee, a woman who was only ever identified as &#8220;one of the managers,&#8221; explained on camera that the store could not print a poster for the event because it was &#8220;propaganda.&#8221; The poster in question had already been paid for and featured a photo of Kirk along with the following words: &#8220;The Legendary Charlie Kirk, 1993-2025.&#8221;
Michigan Forward shared video of the exchange, along with a caption that read, &#8220;A team member ordered and paid for a poster to be printed at @officedepot so he could bring it to a vigil for Charlie Kirk tonight in Michigan. When he arrived to pick it up four hours later, the employees said they refused to print it, calling the poster &#8216;propaganda.'&#8221;

&#8220;So, we came in for an order earlier,&#8221; one person could be heard saying as he approached the employee. &#8220;To print a poster for a vigil tonight.&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah, we don&#8217;t print propaganda,&#8221; the employee said before he could finish.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not propa—&#8221; he protested.
The employee nodded her head emphatically and assured him, &#8220;It&#8217;s propaganda, sorry, we don&#8217;t print that here.&#8221;
&#8220;All right, so, can we have — what&#8217;s your name?&#8221; the person holding the camera walked closer.
A nearby male employee identified himself as the &#8220;print supervisor&#8221; and the female added, &#8220;I&#8217;m one of the managers, so, I&#8217;m sort of — unfortunately, we do not print —&#8221;
&#8220;So, they say they do not print political propaganda — so this is somebody that passed away,&#8221; the Michigan Forward member protested.
&#8220;That&#8217;s political propaganda, I&#8217;m sorry —&#8221; the manager insisted.
The Michigan Forward member tried a different tack: &#8220;So this is for a prayer tonight. For a prayer vigil —&#8221;
&#8220;MmHmm, it&#8217;s still propaganda,&#8221; she repeated.
A female voice from behind the camera asked the employee to explain what made the poster &#8220;propaganda,&#8221; and the manager claimed that Kirk — who had never run for elected office — was a &#8220;political figure&#8221; and then argued that she did not have to offer any further explanation as to how that made a simple photo of him &#8220;propaganda.&#8221;
The male employee jumped in then, saying that the store manager would be in by Monday.
Video of the exchange quickly went viral, however, prompting a response from Office Depot&#8217;s corporate headquarters.

It went on to reveal that the &#8220;manager&#8221; involved in the confrontation had been let go.

Office Depot Scrambles After Employee Calls Charlie Kirk Memorial Poster ‘Propaganda’

The response from the Left to the assassination of conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk has been nothing short of sickening. They have justified and even celebrated his death — and some have begun to face consequences for their actions.
MSNBC&#8217;s Matthew Dowd was the first domino to fall, after he essentially argued during live coverage of the assassination that Kirk had encouraged the politically-motivated violence that claimed his life.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Following Dowd&#8217;s ouster, MSNBC sent a letter to all employees urging them to &#8220;do better,&#8221; Matthew Foldi reported. &#8220;A letter was sent to all MSNBC staff admonishing them &amp; saying they &#8216;need to do better&#8217; following Matthew Dowd’s firing for his heinous comments about Charlie Kirk,&#8221; he posted.

An Office Depot employee was also terminated over the weekend for refusing to print a poster of Kirk for a prayer vigil, telling members of the group Michigan Forward that the poster was &#8220;political propaganda.&#8221; The poster in question featured a photo of Kirk along with the words, &#8220;The Legendary Charlie Kirk, 1993-2025.&#8221;

Clemson University stopped short of firing anyone who posted celebratory comments after Kirk&#8217;s murder, saying in a statement that unless the post was considered to be a &#8220;genuine threat which is not protected by the Constitution,&#8221; there was no need for the university to take any action.

Dozens Fired Over Response To Charlie Kirk Assassination

Actor Charlie Sheen was recording a conversation for podcast host Joe Rogan&#8217;s next episode when they learned about the assassination of conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on Wednesday afternoon.
Rogan and Sheen were both clearly taken aback, shaken by the news — and both immediately assumed that the shooting had been politically motivated as they reacted in real time to the news.

&#8220;Should we bring this up? I guess we have to,&#8221; Rogan began, clearly just having received the news himself. Bringing his hands to his forehead and taking a deep breath, he said, &#8220;So this just happened, we just found out that Charlie Kirk got shot.&#8221;
Rogan paused then, apparently unsure how to react.
&#8220;That&#8217;s f***ing awful,&#8221; Sheen said.
&#8220;And — is he dead?&#8221; Rogan asked. Off camera, one of his producers said he didn&#8217;t think so.
&#8220;That&#8217;s what was just —?&#8221; Sheen asked. &#8220;— that in the lobby was &#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;One of the guys out there just confirmed that he&#8217;s dead,&#8221; Rogan said, his voice flat.
Rogan let out a heavy sigh as his producer went to confirm the details: &#8220;Whoa.&#8221;
&#8220;Murdered for having a different opinion from somebody else,&#8221; Sheen posited. &#8220;A different ideology from somebody else.&#8221;
&#8220;Yeah, I mean, I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Rogan said.
&#8220;&#8230; beliefs that didn&#8217;t align,&#8221; Sheen continued.
The producer interrupted to confirm that Kirk had died.
&#8220;Rest in peace,&#8221; Sheen said immediately. &#8220;F***. Twenty-seven years old? Thirty, maybe?&#8221;
&#8220;Do they even have a suspect?&#8221; Rogan asked, but the producer had no more answers.
&#8220;F***,&#8221; Sheen said again. &#8220;Nobody deserves that, he didn&#8217;t deserve that, nobody deserves that.&#8221;

‘He Doesn’t Deserve That’: The Moment Charlie Sheen, Joe Rogan Learned Charlie Kirk Was Dead

Governor Spencer Cox (R-UT) vowed to seek the death penalty in the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk — and called on members of the public to aid in the manhunt that has already gone on for more than 24 hours.
The call came during a press conference that took place late Thursday evening — a press conference that was initially scheduled for earlier in the day, but was delayed at the last minute due to &#8220;rapid developments&#8221; in the case. &#8220;Due to the rapid developments in our investigation, we will suspend this,&#8221; the Utah Department of Public Safety announced via email.
The press conference began about twenty minutes later than the scheduled start time of 7:30 p.m. local time, and officials shared video of the suspect as he ran from his perch and ultimately climbed over the edge of the roof of the building, hanging from the side before jumping to the ground.

They called on members of the public to look at identifiable items of clothing on the suspect to hopefully assist officials as they try to find the individual responsible for Kirk&#8217;s murder. They also announced that they had already interviewed more than 200 people and had received thousands of tips from the public, more than they had seen in any case since the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.

DPS asked for digital tips and videos from anyone who might have footage from the Wednesday event, and vowed to capture the person responsible. Governor Spencer Cox (R-UT) also promised that the state planned to seek the death penalty once the suspect was apprehended and tried.
Investigators began the manhunt within moments of the fatal shooting that took place on Wednesday during a campus event at Utah Valley University, and photos of a &#8220;person of interest&#8221; in the case were released to the public on Thursday afternoon. The photos showed a male figure wearing an American flag t-shirt, sunglasses, and a hat — and authorities said they believed he&#8217;d &#8220;blended in well with a college institution&#8221; and was likely around the same age as some of those present for Kirk&#8217;s event.
The FBI offered a reward of $100,000 to anyone who could provide information that led to the shooter&#8217;s arrest.
&#8220;The shooting is believed to be a targeted attack. The shooter is believed to have fired from the roof of a building down to the location of the public event in the student courtyard,&#8221; the Utah Department of Public Safety said in a statement prior to the press conference. &#8220;Any additional clarifications cannot be provided to protect the integrity of our investigation.&#8221;

Governor Vows To Seek Death Penalty In Kirk Assassination, Calls On Public To Aid In Manhunt

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) used the assassination of conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk as an opportunity to complain about &#8220;right-wing extremists&#8221; and blame them for political violence in the United States.
Moulton made an appearance on CNN to discuss Kirk&#8217;s assassination — which had occurred not even 24 hours earlier at a college campus event in Orem, Utah — and he immediately attempted to make the conversation about violence coming from the political Right.
WATCH:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Less than 24 hours after Charlie Kirk was gunned down, Dem Rep Seth Moulton attacks “right wing extremists” as the cause of the vast majority of political violence in the country.
&#8220;We need to be honest as a nation, about where this violence is coming from.&#8221;

Moulton claimed that the bipartisan sentiment in Congress was an agreement that &#8220;we all need to turn down the rhetoric,&#8221; but then he pivoted. &#8220;But let&#8217;s be serious about where the violence is coming from. Of extremist violent attacks in America, extremist violent murders, 76% are from right-wing extremists, four percent are from left-wing extremists.&#8221;
&#8220;I condemn that four percent,&#8221; he assured host Kate Bolduan, adding, &#8220;But we also need to be honest about — as a nation — about where this violence is coming from.&#8221;
He concluded by once again attacking conservatives and claiming that they were responding to recent shootings by calling for more guns in the streets.
&#8220;And oh, by the way, it&#8217;s probably an appropriate time to talk about guns, too,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You hear a lot of conservatives saying, hey, the only thing we need to do here is get more guns on the street. That&#8217;s not going to solve this problem. That&#8217;s just going to make it worse.&#8221;
Moulton did not give any evidence that conservatives were actually calling for &#8220;more guns on the street,&#8221; nor did he offer even a hint at who might have said such a thing.
