The broadcast was a striking reminder of Kirk’s influence, both as a leader in the young conservative space and a behind-the-scenes political player who helped shape President Trump’s agenda.
Vice President JD Vance took the mic on Monday to host The Charlie Kirk Show, just five days after the 31-year-old right-wing activist was shot and killed in Utah.
The two-hour livestream, with Vance at the helm, marked a striking reminder of how the White House viewed Kirk, both as a leader in the young conservative space and as a behind-the-scenes political player who they said helped shape President Trump’s second term in office.
« The last several days have been extremely hard for our country », Vance said at the start of the broadcast. « The thing is, every single person in this building, we owe something to Charlie.
