Fans of Charlie Kirk raise nearly $4,000,000 to “support” his widow and children
On a Christian platform, they have managed to raise nearly $4,000,000 to “support” the widow of the murdered activist, Christie Kirk
With the goal of “supporting” Charlie Kirk’s widow and his two young children, a group of supporters of the conservative activist took it upon themselves to launch a fundraising campaign, which in just 48 hours achieved an unprecedented response.
On Wednesday afternoon, while participating in an event held at Utah Valley University, the 31-year-old conservative activist was the victim of an attack that took his life.
From the roof of a building, a sniper used a long-range rifle to shoot him in the neck, causing a fatal wound.
Given the confusion on the university campus, he managed to escape, but 33 hours later the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested a 22-year-old man named Tyler Robinson, whom they point to as the alleged perpetrator of the crime.
The death of Charlie Kirk leaves a 36-year-old widow and two small orphaned children, who will not be left helpless as they are trying to make us believe.
In solidarity with the Kirk family, using the Christian platform GiveSendGo launched a campaign to raise $5 million to be donated to Erika Kirk, widow of the slain activist.
ALP Pouches, a company owned by Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel dedicated to the marketing of nicotine pouches, was in charge of donating the first million dollars.
From then on, more contributions began to emerge and, although they are smaller in magnitude, together they are approaching $4 million dollars.
However, Charlie Kirk's family would have had a secure future for a long time, since Turning Point USA, the organization he co-founded in 2012, reports surprising income.
Last year alone, the association that defines itself as "promoter of conservative and ultra-conservative ideals in liberal-leaning universities across the country," managed to raise $84 million dollars.
In fact,ProPublica news agency reported that, thanks to Turning Point USA's presence on more than 3,500 campuses and its more than 250,000 members, Charlie Kirk had been earning an annual salary of $300,000 for several years, which had allowed him to buy a house valued at $855,000 in Longboat Key, Florida.
