GOP activist Scott Presler reacts to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, urging action.
“Don’t you get it?” Scott Presler wrote on his social media accounts after Charlie Kirk was gunned down on Wednesday. “They want us dead.”
And so, the long-haired GOP activist who’s done more to register voters than practically anyone else is using his outrage to strike back at the people mocking the assassination of the popular Kirk and urging Christians and others sitting on the sidelines to get in the game.
The young man who calls himself “The Persistence”, for all of his success in registering GOP voters, was like the rest of us — shocked and devastated — at the murderous attack. But he wants to use the moment to spur Republicans to fight back — at the polls.
Presler wrote in a TruthSocial post that the left works “24/7 to destroy us [and] we can’t even get conservatives to participate in elections.”
“We are watching the decline of our country [and] — despite being keenly aware — millions are sitting on the sidelines”, he vented.
He scolded Christians, of which Charlie Kirk was one, for staying out of politics.
30% of Christians are NOT registered to vote. ThePersistence (@ScottPresler) September 11, 2025
After Kirk was assassinated in front of thousands of college students at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, I admit growing concerned about my other favorite young Republican activist, Presler. When I found him online, Presler was kicking butt and taking names of people mocking Kirk’s murder.
Inbox is full of horrible people that have celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
