The conservative media figure Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University, in a shocking assassination. Kirk, the 34-year-old founder of Turning Point USA and a "poster boy" for the MAGA movement, met his end in front of a live crowd, sending shockwaves through a deeply polarized America. Featuring expert analysis from Professor Robert Pape of the University of Chicago, this film places Kirk's murder in the context of a "slippery slope of political violence". Pape discusses how the targets of violence have expanded from elected officials to media influencers, drawing chilling parallels to the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO by Luigi Mangione. *American Martyr | The Brief* ► Subscribe: http://9Soci.al/chmP50wA97J ► WATCH Full Episodes on 9NOW: https://9now.app.link/uNP4qBkmN6 *MORE VIDEOS like this one* ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stJ0TvOdH4Y ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db5RjrrFo5A ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BciUOA7D80I FOLLOW 60 Minutes Australia ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/60minutes9 ► TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@60minutes9 ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/60Minutes9 ABOUT 60 Minutes Australia 60 Minutes Australia have been telling the world’s greatest stories for over 40 years.
