Political adviser Andy Surabian pays tribute to Charlie Kirk after the conservative leader’s death, calling him irreplaceable and praising his influence on young conservatives.
A close friend and colleague of Charlie Kirk says the conservative leader and media star „was one of one“ and doubts he’ll ever be replaced.
But asked about a void in the conservative movement, Andy Surabian, who’s a top political adviser to both Vice President JD Vance and Donald Trump Jr., told Fox News Digital that Kirk „inspired a generation of young conservatives who have the potential to grow into being somebody like Charlie Kirk.“
Kirk, who was shot and killed this past Wednesday during a college campus event in Utah, was a top conservative activist, culture warrior, and media rockstar for millions of MAGA and right-wing followers.
A crucial ally to President Donald Trump, Vance, and Donald Trump Jr., Kirk transformed the Turning Point USA conservative youth organization that he co-founded at age 18 into an extremely influential political powerhouse and a voter turnout machine for Trump in last year’s presidential election.
„I don’t think there’s any singular person who will ever replace Charlie Kirk“, Surabian said.
But pointing to Kirk’s inspiration to a generation of younger conservatives, Surabian said, „This is the thing that Charlie would be proudest of, it’s the thing that makes me so proud of Charlie.
