Tucker Carlson's company contributes $1 million to the Kirk family

Tragedy struck Utah Valley University this week with a cold-blooded act that has left a family shattered and a nation mourning.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Charlie Kirk, a leading conservative voice, was fatally shot while addressing students, prompting an outpouring of support, including a $1 million donation from ALP, a company founded by Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel, alongside a fundraising site for Kirk’s widow and children.

The incident unfolded on Wednesday when Kirk, a well-known activist, took the stage at Utah Valley University to speak to students eager to hear his perspective.

Assassination Shocks Conservative Community

During his address, a single gunshot rang out from a building approximately 200 yards away, striking Kirk with deadly precision.

Video footage captured the chaos as security personnel rushed him off the stage, a desperate attempt to save a life already slipping away.

Kirk was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, but despite medical efforts, he succumbed to his injuries, leaving behind a legacy and a grieving family.

Family and Nation Mourn Kirk’s Loss

Kirk is survived by his wife, Erika, and their two young children, who now face an unimaginable future without him.

In response, ALP, the nicotine pouch company launched by Daily Caller co-founders Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel, stepped up with a staggering $1 million donation to support the family.

Carlson and Patel also created a GiveSendGo page to allow supporters to contribute directly, ensuring every penny goes to Erika and the kids.

Heartfelt Words from Carlson and Patel

“We met Charlie Kirk when he was 18… and have known him well since,” Carlson and Patel said in a statement, reflecting on a long friendship.

“But in the meantime, we want to do everything we can for Charlie’s widow, Erika, and their two small children,” they added, showing commitment to action.

Isn’t it refreshing to see people put their money where their values are, instead of just tweeting condolences while the progressive agenda rolls on?

Community Support and Official Response

Kirk’s casket will be flown to Phoenix on Thursday aboard Air Force Two, accompanied by family, friends, Vice President JD Vance, and the second lady.

Vance, originally slated for a Ground Zero memorial, instead traveled to Salt Lake City to stand with Kirk’s loved ones, showing where priorities truly lie.

As the nation grieves, the FBI’s Salt Lake City office continues its search for the shooter, releasing images of a person of interest and seeking public help.
