Turning Point USA releases tribute video honoring Charlie Kirk’s life and legacy
Turning Point USA has released a powerful tribute video to its founder, Charlie Kirk, honoring his life and legacy following his tragic death on Wednesday.
The video, titled “A Life of Faith, A Legacy That Endures: Remembering Charlie Kirk,” highlights some of his most influential moments and quotes throughout his career in the public sphere.
“This is not a flash-in-the-pan movement. We’re going to become an institution, to give them the power and confidence and let their voice be heard,” a young Kirk is seen saying at a time when Turning Point USA was active in 15 locations. Today, the group says it has a presence on about 3,500 college and high school campuses across all 50 states.

Kirk often spoke openly about the role his Christian faith played in shaping his work and message, and the video leans heavily on that theme.
“We as Christians are called to go into the public arena to correct error with truth, so I go to college campuses and there are a lot of error,” Kirk says in the video.
“We are all sinners, we all live in error. I’m far more interested in what God wants of me than what I want from God.”
The video also shows emotional moments between Kirk and his wife, Erika, as she expresses her love and pride in him, as well as a clip of his daughter running into his arms after an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”
It also includes President Donald Trump praising Kirk’s accomplishments.
“The media said that Turning Point could never run a ground game, they weren’t experienced,” Trump says at a Turning Point event. “They didn’t know Charlie right.”
The tribute ends with Kirk reflecting on how he wanted to be remembered.
“I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing,” he says.
