As we’ve reported, American politicians haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory after the shooting death of Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk, 31. It was just days ago that Gov. Tim Walz had *wink wink* wished for news of President Donald Trump’s death. Sen. Elizabeth Warren made it a whole seven seconds before going on a nearly five-minute rant about gun control in Massachusetts and Trump’s incendiary rhetoric.
Kirk left a huge legacy, both in his personal life and in his work with Turning Point USA. International leaders popped in as evidence of Kirk’s influence. Here’s Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni:
Sconvolge la notizia dell’uccisione di Charlie Kirk, giovane e seguito attivista repubblicano.
Un omicidio atroce, una ferita profonda per la democrazia e per chi crede nella libertà.
Il mio cordoglio alla sua famiglia, ai suoi cari e alla comunità conservatrice americana. pic.twitter.com/jz5Bxvq9BE— Giorgia Meloni (@GiorgiaMeloni) September 10, 2025
That translates as:
I am shocked by the news of the killing of Charlie Kirk, a young and followed Republican activist.
An atrocious murder, a deep wound for democracy and for those who believe in freedom.
My condolences to his family, to his loved ones, and to the American conservative community.
Thank you.
Thank you, ma’am. This is just devastating. We are truly in a fight against evil from many directions. We must persevere as Charlie would, regardless of the cost.

Thank you for your condolences and the sharing of your reaction. I know Italy faces it’s own challenges in these trying times, and I pray we can all find ways to embrace the cultures that made our countries great and ways to heal the increasing division.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also reached out:
Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking truth and defending freedom. A lion-hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization. I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, that visit will not take place.
