Charlie Kirk’s ‘American Comeback Tour’ Hits Wrong Note: Shot!
In a plot twist nobody pitched, Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot at Utah Valley University during his 'American Comeback Tour'—yes, the one ruffling campus feathers and racking up 7,000 petition signatures at Utah State. Just as Kirk began firing political zingers, a literal single shot echoed at Orem, Utah, turning his rally into, well, a real-life drama. Police and the FBI jumped in, with FBI Director Kash Patel promising accountability. Trump, JD Vance, and even California’s Gavin Newsom weighed in—because political shooting pains now unite like a bizarre bipartisan remix. Meanwhile, ovargh yikes.
