Tragedy struck the conservative world this week as Charlie Kirk, the firebrand founder of Turning Point USA and a staunch defender of MAGA values, was gunned down in a shocking act of violence.
According to the Daily Mail, the devastating assassination of Kirk on Wednesday, followed by the arrest of suspect Tyler Robinson on Friday, has ignited a firestorm of grief, accusations, and threats, pulling in figures like conservative influencer Laura Loomer, Democrat strategist Mike Nellis, and even neo-Nazi outcast Nick Fuentes.
Kirk, a father of two known for his sharp debates on college campuses, collapsed instantly after being shot, leaving a void in the conservative movement that President Donald Trump called a loss of the "finest person."
The horror unfolded on Wednesday when Kirk was fatally shot, an act authorities tied to suspect Tyler Robinson, a Utah student who was turned in by his own family just two days later.
Robinson, who had grown increasingly political, reportedly etched messages of internet culture and anti-fascist rhetoric on the bullets, revealing a chilling premeditation that stuns even the most hardened observers.
At a family dinner, Robinson allegedly grumbled that Kirk was "full of hate and spreading hate," a statement that now haunts in light of the tragedy at Utah Valley University.
As the nation mourns, a bitter feud has erupted between Laura Loomer, a conservative influencer with a knack for controversy, and Mike Nellis, a former advisor to Kamala Harris, over who bears responsibility for the rhetoric surrounding Kirk’s death.
Loomer fired off a direct message to Nellis, ominously declaring, "You and your son are going to hell," a statement so alarming that Nellis promptly contacted law enforcement on Friday evening.
Nellis, who claims Loomer previously exposed his home address online, aired the threat publicly, lamenting, "So much for the tolerant right," while ensuring his family’s safety—a move that raises eyebrows about the left’s selective outrage on civility.
Loomer didn’t hold back, accusing Nellis of fueling the environment that led to Kirk’s assassination by linking him to inflammatory rhetoric and even tying him to Loren Merchan, the daughter of the judge in Trump’s hush money trial.
She doubled down online, suggesting Nellis should be shunned from society, while Nellis retorted that Loomer herself had attacked Kirk recently, deleting critical posts from earlier this year where she branded Kirk a political opportunist.
Interestingly, Loomer scrubbed a post calling Kirk a charlatan who betrayed Trump, a curious backtrack that suggests even she felt the weight of her words after his passing.
Adding to the chaos, Nick Fuentes, a far-right figure long at odds with Kirk and banned from Turning Point USA events, called the assassination a "tragedy" on Thursday night, despite their bitter history since 2019.
Fuentes, whose supporters have heckled Kirk for being too mainstream, once labeled him a traitor, yet now urges restraint among his followers—a rare moment of sobriety from someone so often on the fringe.
