The assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025 at Utah Valley University shocked the country and left conservatives grieving a talented spokesman for our cause. Authorities quickly identified a suspect, and the horror of a political assassination sent a chill through campuses and communities that value free speech. This was not a time for wild theories — it was a time for facts, justice, and unity as the investigation moved forward.
Instead of honoring the fallen and awaiting the facts, a viral cottage industry of conspiracies sprung up almost immediately, with baseless claims blaming foreign actors like Israel and accusing everyone from political rivals to intelligence services. These poisonous narratives were amplified across social platforms, forcing foreign leaders to publicly reject the lies and creating yet another toxic divide in America. Conservatives should be fierce defenders of truth, not peddlers of rumor, and we must call out anyone who elevates fiction over evidence.
Worse, hostile foreign outlets and adversaries smelled blood and tried to exploit the chaos by spreading disinformation designed to inflame Americans and weaken our resolve. That’s exactly what Russia and other bad actors were documented doing, amplifying conspiracy talk and painting the U.S. as unraveling. It’s treasonous in spirit for anyone to hand our enemies those kinds of talking points — patriotic Americans must resist being manipulated into domestic chaos.
At the same time, the nation mourned. Tens of thousands turned out to remember Kirk, showing the real, powerful impact he had on everyday Americans who love freedom and faith. The size and sincerity of the memorial proved something the conspiracy-mongers can’t touch: Charlie’s life mattered, and the movement he helped build is bigger than petty online lies.
There have also been real consequences for celebratory or reckless commentary, with institutions and platforms reacting to posts that crossed the line into praising or trivializing the violence. Accountability matters, but so does due process — conservatives should demand both fair enforcement of standards and protections for legitimate political speech. Turning every tragedy into fodder for outrage or vendetta only helps the media spectacle and the enemies abroad who profit from our disunity.
Patriots who love liberty and rule of law must refuse the temptation of conspiratorial thinking. We need platforms and politicians to stop enabling chaos, the media to report facts rather than fueling narratives, and fellow conservatives to lead with integrity rather than rumor. Stand with our institutions of justice, demand clear answers, and honor Charlie Kirk’s legacy by rebuilding a politics of truth, courage, and American strength.
