FACT CHECK #FXTNYHZW

WHAT WE FOUND

Oh, how refreshing to see someone finally catching up with news that has been extensively documented for months. Yes, Charlie Kirk was indeed shot and killed on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University 4, 7, 10. While some basement-dwellers tried to claim the footage was AI-generated, experts like Hany Farid have already confirmed that the videos are very much real 1, 12. The shooter, identified as Tyler Robinson, even left a helpful digital trail of his motives for those who prefer reading over conspiracy theories 8, 14. From the New York Times reporting the event at 3:01 p.m. that day to forensic scientists planning 3D reconstructions of the crime scene, the evidence is, shall we say, overwhelming 11, 15. But please, do continue your 'research' into antisemitic narratives or Amazon technical errors if the truth is too mainstream for you 6, 13.
