“Thanks for sharing a ray of light n the pool of darkness here on sm,” wrote a user, while another said, “What a picture! Thank you for sharing.” “Thanks for posting moments like this,” said a user.
Kolvet has shared several posts honoring and defending Kirk after his tragic assassination by Tyler Robinson. He defended the decision by organizers of the Turning Point USA founder’s memorial service to display fireworks during Kirk’s memorial service, and accused Jimmy Kimmel of spreading an “evil” message through a monologue that initially got him suspended.
Kolvet, who served as executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, previously also shared a photo of what appears to be a Starbucks cup on which a barista wrote a note honoring Kirk. “Someone got the Charlie order today, and the barista wrote this note in his honor,” Kolvet captioned the photo. The words “don’t lose your voice” were written on the cup.
Kirk, 31, was allegedly shot dead by Robinson on September 10 during an appearance at a campus event in Utah. The shooting happened around 12:20 pm local time during a student Q&A at UVU in Orem, per a statement from Utah Valley University (UVU).
