During the preliminary hearing for the murder of Charlie Kirk, evidence included bullets with provocative messages such as ‘Hey Fascist’ and ‘Catch’. This evidence became central to the discussions. Legal expert Joshua Ritter analyzed whether these etchings were made in jest or as genuine threats. Witness Lance Twiggs recounted Tyler Robinson asking for a Dremel tool to inscribe these messages.
A music venue in Buffalo sparked online backlash after a ‘We Are Charlie Kirk’ meme was displayed during a DJ’s performance. The venue, Nietzsche’s, issued a public apology via Facebook, stating they learned of the incident from social media. The artist and promoter claimed the meme was intended as a joke. However, the venue apologized to patrons, emphasizing that the content did not represent their values. They declared the responsible DJ would not perform there again.
The venue’s statement on Facebook read, ‘We want to apologize for a moment that occurred during a show at Nietzsche’s last weekend, involving a ‘We are Charlie Kirk’ meme. After speaking with the artist and promoter, we understand it was intended in jest, but it’s not something that has any place at Nietzsche’s.’
Nietzsche’s assured patrons that they remain a place of acceptance and community, expressing regret that the incident contradicted these values. The venue reiterated their commitment to being an inclusive space.
Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was a conservative activist. Kirk, aged 31, was assassinated on September 10, during his ‘American Comeback Tour’ at Utah Valley University.
Following Kirk’s assassination, a song believed to be AI-generated titled ‘We Are Charlie Kirk’ surfaced on September 18, 2025. The track mimicked a Christian power ballad, featuring lyrics like, ‘He spoke the truth when the cost was high / He lived for Jesus, unafraid to die.’ The song became a tool for mockery on platforms like TikTok.
In another incident, a Texas man allegedly threatened to bomb a Turning Point USA event and harm CEO Erika Kirk in online posts.
Tyler Robinson, involved in Kirk’s assassination case, faces legal proceedings while his father, Matthew Robinson, continues his masonry business.
Despite attempts to contact Nietzsche’s and Turning Point USA for comments, Fox News Digital did not receive immediate responses.
