Who Charlie Kirk was?

Charlie Kirk was a vocal voice in America’s conservative youth led movement.

Charlie was born in 1993; by the time he turned 18, he had co-founded Turning Point USA in 2012, and since then he has been busy disseminating conservative ideas on college campuses across the US.

Charlie was not just limited to advocating conservative ideas on campuses only; he was equally a recognized face in media and an author too.

He was a staunch loyal supporter of Donald Trump and served as personal aide to Donald Trump Jr.

However, his views about conservatism made him a polarizing figure praised by many on the right and harshly criticized by the liberals.
