Charlie Kirk Show
Tyler Robinson Hearing: The Final Wrap-Up | Deace | 7.10.2026
"This is the most high profile martyring in America, at least since the summer of '68 when you had RFK and then MLK that spring. This is the most viewed murder in all of human history. And so therefore, the unprecedented cottage industry of wackadoodle conspiracy theories that have come up surrounding it over the last several months."
Steve Deace characterized Charlie Kirk's assassination as the most viewed murder in human history, surpassing previous high-profile American political assassinations. The killing sparked an unprecedented wave of conspiracy theories targeting Kirk's widow Erica, with critics describing her as potentially the most defamed person in the English-speaking world. The case has become a cultural flashpoint testing trust in institutions and dividing conservative movements.
