Andrew Tate claims he knows who orchestrated Charlie Kirk's killing
In a statement that has set digital platforms ablaze, controversial influencer Andrew Tate has claimed to know the identity of the mastermind behind the murder of Charlie Kirk.Donald Trump and Erika Kirk spark controversy for their gestures during Charlie Kirk's funeralDuring an interview on Jack Neel's podcast, Tate abruptly shut down a question about whether the conservative activist's death was linked to feminism, suggesting instead a far darker and more dangerous backdrop."I know who killed him," Tate said after a calculated pause, adding that he was "scanning" his words in order to stay alive. According to the influencer, the only reason Candace Owens has been able to publicly theorize about the crime without facing retaliation is due to a dismissal tactic rooted in identity.Tate argues that "those in charge" allow Owens to speak because they categorize her under the stereotype of an "hysterical Black woman," using bots and paid influencers to discredit her narrative as madness-even if she were accurately describing the truth. "If a man in a suit said the same thing, he would be taken seriously and silenced," Tate concluded.As theories surrounding his death circulate on social media, Kirk's legacy is taking on a formal shape within the political arena. Republican lawmakers in Florida have advanced a bill to designate October 14, the birthday of the late founder of Turning Point USA, as "Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day."The measure, sponsored in the Senate by Jonathan Martin (R-Fort Myers) and in the House by Yvette Benarroch (R-Marco Island), seeks to honor Kirk's influence on civic engagement and youth leadership. Although the proposal has advanced through key committees along party lines-such as a 4-2 vote in the Senate Postsecondary Education Committee-it has sparked strong opposition from Democrats.Senate Minority Leader Lori Berman questioned the appropriateness of honoring a figure who, according to critics, promoted divisive rhetoric. If approved, the law would authorize the governor to issue an annual proclamation each October, cementing Kirk's place in the state's official history just months after his murder in Utah.
