Chicago, Illinois – In a shocking revelation, political rising star Karoline Leavitt has shared the final messages she received from Charlie Kirk, the prominent conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, just hours before he was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025. The messages, which eerily seemed to foreshadow Kirk’s tragic fate, have added a deeply personal layer to the assassination of the 31-year-old figure whose death has rocked the American political landscape. As the nation mourns, the bond between Leavitt and Kirk has drawn significant attention, with her emotional account resonating across social media and cable news.

Charlie Kirk, a leading voice in the conservative movement with millions of followers online, was killed during a Q&A session with students in Utah. The assailant, dressed in all black and believed to have fired from a distance—possibly a rooftop—remains at large. Federal authorities, under the direction of FBI Director Kash Patel, are investigating the case as a possible “political assassination,” a term echoed by former President Donald Trump. In the flood of headlines surrounding Kirk’s assassination, Leavitt’s revelation about their final exchange has offered a glimpse into the human cost of this political violence.

Leavitt, known for her fiery defense of conservative values and her role as one of the youngest voices in Republican politics, had formed a close friendship with Kirk over the past several years. The two often appeared at Turning Point USA events together and collaborated on projects aimed at mobilizing young voters. In an exclusive Fox News interview, Leavitt broke down in tears: “Charlie was like a brother to me. He was passionate about America’s future, and he carried that weight every day. Those final messages… it’s almost as if he knew something was coming.”

According to Leavitt, the messages were exchanged via the secure app Signal the night before the assassination. What began as lighthearted conversation about his Utah trip took a haunting turn as Kirk hinted at the threats he had been receiving. Leavitt, with permission from Kirk’s family, released portions of the conversation to honor his memory.

Here is the transcript of the final messages from Charlie Kirk to Karoline Leavitt:

Charlie Kirk (8:45 PM): “Karoline, heading to Utah for the event. The students are energized. We’ll meet up soon after this trip—I’ve got a lot I want to talk through with you.”

Karoline Leavitt (8:47 PM): “Sounds incredible, Charlie. But please be careful. I’ve been hearing things about protesters around that area.”

Charlie Kirk (8:50 PM): “Yeah, things have been weird lately. Been getting creepy emails, stuff like ‘you’ll pay for this.’ Probably trolls, but if anything happens to me… just remember I fought for what’s right. Don’t let them win, Karoline. Keep pushing forward.”

Karoline Leavitt (8:52 PM): “That sounds serious, Charlie. Don’t brush it off—you need to push law enforcement to take this more seriously.”

Charlie Kirk (8:55 PM): “I reported it, but they said there wasn’t enough evidence. Anyway, if I don’t text back after tomorrow, tell people about our mission. Love America, love our fight, and I’m grateful for friends like you. Good night, Karoline.”

That was the last message. Leavitt said she tried calling Kirk afterward but got no answer. The next morning, the shocking news of Kirk’s assassination spread nationwide. “It felt like a prophecy,” Leavitt said, her voice breaking. “He seemed to know he was a target. Those words, ‘if anything happens,’ keep echoing in my head.”

The friendship between Charlie Kirk and Karoline Leavitt began when they met at a Turning Point USA conference in 2021. Kirk quickly recognized Leavitt’s courage and conviction, and the two developed a mentor-mentee relationship that evolved into a deep personal bond. They often exchanged late-night messages about policy, the future of conservatism, and their mutual frustrations with what they saw as a biased media landscape. Leavitt once described Kirk publicly as “the boldest truth-teller of our generation,” a statement that resurfaced online after the tragedy.

Kirk’s assassination has triggered nationwide debates about the safety of public figures in America’s increasingly polarized political climate. Turning Point USA has vowed to carry forward his mission while instituting strict new security measures for future events. Former President Trump mourned on social media, writing: “Charlie was a warrior for our country. Justice will be served.” Meanwhile, critics on the left have blamed the incident on rising political extremism, though no evidence directly connects the shooting to partisan groups.

For Leavitt, however, the loss is not just political—it is deeply personal. “Charlie wasn’t just a conservative leader; he was my friend, my confidant,” she said. “Those final words remind us how fragile life is, but also how strong his conviction was. He never wavered.” She announced plans to work with Turning Point USA to organize a national memorial in Kirk’s honor, with proceeds going to support his family and the causes he cared about most.

The FBI continues to analyze the threats Kirk referenced in his messages. For now, they paint a chilling portrait of a man who sensed danger closing in but chose to press forward, unshaken in his mission.

Across the nation, vigils have sprung up in Kirk’s memory, and hashtags like #RememberCharlieKirk and #CarryTheTorch have trended on X. The emotional impact of Leavitt’s revelation has amplified the grief of millions, reminding Americans that behind every headline is a human story of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice.

“This isn’t just about politics,” Leavitt concluded. “This is about the life of a man who gave everything for his country. His fight is not over. We will carry it forward.”
