‘They’ll try to murder’: Charlie Kirk predicted enemies would use violence; mystery deepens around his killer

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shocking shooting on a Utah campus, an undated video of him has resurfaced online — one in which he chillingly predicted that his political opponents might one day try to kill him.In the clip, now widely shared on X and other platforms, Kirk paints a dark picture of what he saw as the violent instincts of the American left.“At the core of the left, at the core of a liberal, is someone that would use the sword if they had it. They are very violent people at their core. They always have been,” Kirk says in the video.Kirk, who was killed on Wednesday while hosting one of his “Prove Me Wrong” debates at Utah Valley University, warned that liberals would abandon dialogue for destruction.“They can’t debate, they can’t have conversation, so they’ll resort to these tactics. They’re going to do everything they possibly can to try to murder this movement because they can’t beat us.”The activist — a close ally of US President Donald Trump — stressed he was fully aware of the danger he faced.“No, we’re very aware of that, I’m aware of it, we have full-time security. This is not a joke. This is who these people are,” Kirk said.The video has resurfaced across social media platforms in the hours since his death.
