The show must go on for the president. As he spoke with reporters outside of the White House on Friday President Donald Trump avoided a question about right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed in a political assassination on Wednesday,

Less than two days later and with much still unknown, right-wing figures are making declarations of war and calling for retribution.

Donald Trump is being called out for releasing an AI-generated video to speak about the death of Charlie Kirk.

A 22-year-old Utah man who was booked on murder charges in the assassination of Charlie Kirk held deep disdain for the conservative activist’s provocative viewpoints and indicated to a family member that he was responsible for the shooting.

Kirk was President Trump's bridge to young Republicans, and Trump credited him and his organisation with his victory in 2024. He was also a close personal friend of the Trump family, a key White House adviser, a hero to many young Republicans and a foil for the party's opponents.

Tyler Robinson grew up on a quiet street in a quiet corner of Utah. He played video games and some neighbors said his family had previously attended services at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
