MAGA advocate Charlie Kirk targeted music sensation Taylor Swift in a controversially sexist tirade shortly before his tragic passing on Wednesday.
The conservative commentator, aged 31, gave unsolicited advice to Taylor Swift’s fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce, suggesting she could transition from being single to supporting JD Vance after her engagement.
Kirk, known for his activism and close ties to former President Donald Trump, was fatally shot during a presentation at Utah Valley University. Videos circulating on social media captured Kirk speaking under a tent marked with slogans like ‘The American Comeback’ before the tragic incident occurred.
Witnesses at the event reacted with shock and panic, leading to chaos as people fled the scene. President Trump denounced Kirk’s killing as a somber moment for the nation.
Expressing sorrow and outrage, Trump described Kirk as a unifying figure who encouraged constructive dialogue among young individuals about politics.
In a previous incident, Kirk made controversial remarks about Taylor Swift and her engagement to Travis Kelce, advocating for her to adopt more conservative views and conform to traditional gender roles.
The singer had previously alienated MAGA supporters by endorsing Kamala Harris, Trump’s political rival, during the 2024 US election. This endorsement drew criticism from JD Vance, now a prominent political figure, who sparked controversy with disparaging remarks about childless women in politics.
Vance later apologized, clarifying that his comments were sarcastic but maintained the underlying message was valid.
