What To Know
One white shirt has a line-art illustration of Kirk with the bible Scripture, "Here I am Lord, send me" written below him. The description of the $35 shirt reads, "Honor the legacy and courage of Charlie Kirk with this exclusive memorial tee."
Another shirt, also priced at $35, is black and has an image of the American flag across it. White writing reads: "Well done, good and faithful servant. Charlie Kirk 1993-2025."
A third top shows a line-art illustration of Kirk with a gold halo over his head walking hand-in-hand into the distance with his wife and two children. Writing under the image reads: "Never surrender. Love, an American mother."
It comes after Newsweek found that shirts resembling the one worn by Robinson in images circulated by the FBI are being sold online.
Meanwhile, people are also selling shirts that resemble the one Kirk was wearing when he was shot.
What People Are Saying
President Donald Trump wrote in a Truth Social post: "The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!"
What Happens Next
Robinson is in custody, accused of aggravated murder, obstruction of justice, and felony discharge of a firearm.
He is expected to make his initial court appearance on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Utah County Attorney's Office.
Meanwhile, a memorial service for Kirk will take place on Sunday, September 21, in Arizona. Trump will be in attendance.
Turning Point Action said in a Saturday statement, "The event will bring together students, supporters, and national leaders from all across the country, including special guest and Charlie's friend, President Donald Trump, to celebrate Charlie's legacy and continue the fight for the principles he championed."
