There has been a lot of misinformation on social media about democrats, and how it's their fault that Charlie Kirk is dead.

Multiple reputable sources confirm that Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, was fatally shot at a public event in Utah in early September 2025. Following his death, social media saw a surge of misinformation, including false claims blaming Democratic politicians or the Democratic Party for his killing. FactCheck.org specifically addressed and debunked false social media posts that politicized the assassination by falsely claiming partisan blame or reactions.

Major news outlets such as Reuters, The New York Times, The Guardian, and BBC report bipartisan condemnation of the violence and emphasize that no verified evidence links Democrats to the shooting. While some inflammatory or partisan commentary appeared on social media, these do not constitute factual evidence of responsibility. The spread of such misinformation has been noted as harmful and misleading by multiple sources.
