Charlie Kirk, right-wing activist and a close aide of US President Donald Trump, was shot dead at Utah University on Wednesday during a college event. Amid the tragedy, Kirk’s controversial remarks on Indian migrants have resurfaced. On September 2, he posted on X: “America does not need more visas for people from India… We’re full. Let’s finally put our own people first.” His comments responded to Laura Ingraham’s post opposing visa concessions in U.S.-India trade deals. President Trump mourned Kirk as “great, and even legendary,” calling him a “martyr for truth.” Trump extended condolences to Kirk’s family and vowed action against those responsible for the killing and broader political violence, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to law and order.
