The far -right activist Charlie Kerkwith great influence on social networking platforms, killed Today by shooting during an event at a Utah University in the US. But who is Charlie Kerk? It is one of the most important conservative influencers in the US today.

Calling him a “revolutionary” would be a bit derogatory, the BBC notes. He was a staunch supporter of the US president Donald Trump And he had acquired a huge audience through the Turning Point organization, which has a presence in hundreds of campuses across the country.

Kerk and his young conservative team flooded the space through social media and podcast, while his ability to attract his crowds had secured a key role in Donald Trump’s Maga movement.

Turning Point invested both money and human resources in critical states during last year’s presidential election. He had spoken at Republican conferences, and last year Trump returned Grace with a great speech at a Turning Point conference in Arizona.

The Christian religion and the Kerk family – was married to a former Miss Arizona, with whom he had two children – were at the heart of his policy, and was considered both the future of conservative activism and an extremely polarizing personality.

Kerk had supported Trump’s false allegations that he had lost the 2020 elections for fraud, while the US president on his part had often praised Kerk to attract new as well as different voters in 2024.

The Podcast of Kerk had more than 500,000 listeners each month, while his account on X has 5.3 million followers.
