(The Center Square) - Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination on a Utah college campus, many are reflecting on the impact the Turning Point USA founder had on conservative youth.

During an American Comeback Tour on Wednesday, hosted by the TPUSA chapter at Utah Valley University, Kirk was shot and killed.

Following the horrific event, Turning Point USA posted a statement on Thursday on Kirk’s X account .

“Every one of us at Turning Point USA is crushed and devastated by the hateful murder of our founder and guiding light, Charlie Kirk,” the post said. “Charlie was no stranger to threats … But he always prioritized reaching as many young Americans as possible over his own personal safety. Now, Charlie has become America’s greatest martyr to the freedom of speech he so adored.”
