Has Charlie Kirk become a MAGA 'Martyr’?

Charlie Kirk, a famous right-wing influencer was shot dead in front of thousands of people. In the days and weeks since, his death has become a flashpoint - triggering political polarisation, debates about free speech, accusations of martyrdom, and a fierce contest over how his legacy is framed.

Charlie Kirk didn’t just preach conservative politics—he built a movement that tied faith directly to power. Through Turning Point USA and faith, he mobilised pastors and turned churches into political stages. Kirk became one of the most visible champions of modern Christian nationalism.

Sky’s Tom Cheshire has travelled America, a road trip through Kirk’s life and death, to understand what Kirk meant to America and how his assassination might forever change it.
