She wrote that she never thought she’d be writing those words, “Charlie Kirk has significantly impacted my life…he welcomed me into the Turning Point family this past year, and I was meant to be by his side at every college event in October. However, here I am with a heavy heart, overwhelmed with sadness beyond what words can express.

Additionally, Donald Trump Jr. posted a touching message highlighting his strong relationship with the conservative thought leader.

In his statement on September 10th, Donald Trump Jr., who is 47 years old, expressed more than just friendship for Charlie.
