According to The Post Millennial, users on platforms including Reddit, X, TikTok, and others have flooded timelines with posts using the term “Kirkaversary” and similar phrases. Google search interest for the term has surged, as far-left radicals revel in the fact that Kirk was shot and killed nearly one year ago.
One radical left-wing account on X, “Evan loves worf,” posted an AI-generated video of Kirk that openly mocked his assassination. Far-left media personality Taylor Lorenz, while not using the “Kirkaversary” label, amplified the moment by resurfacing a 2014 post from Kirk in which he wrote, “Did I just get shot by an AR-15? Feels like it.”

Other users have circulated a video showing Hunter Kozak, a progressive student at Utah Valley University, reacting in horror when the shot that killed Kirk was fired as Kozak was in the middle of asking him a question. That clip has now been repurposed by leftist users as a flippant reaction meme to breaking news, prompting Kozak himself to condemn the trend.

Kozak responded publicly, writing, “Hey! This video is of me. Sorry to put a damper on the funny little meme campaign that we have about a man dying but just want to share that I went to a carnival today to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and I had a persistent thought like ten times about someone shooting the place up.” He continued, “I know I have PTSD and I shouldn’t rewatch these videos but for a year now they’ve been inescapable on the internet, simply because people find it funny. Like seriously, look at the f*cking context that this is in response to. It’s sick. You guys have something broken inside you to use this video as a response in the way you did.”

On TikTok, one woman posted a video of herself dancing to a “playlist” she claimed to have curated specifically for her “kirkaversary party.” The clip exemplified a broader pattern of left-wing users treating a political assassination as an occasion for entertainment rather than sober reflection.

Another far-left TikTok user showcased what she called a “Kirkaversary basket,” which she said contained “Charlie’s blood,” an “aborted fetus,” and “toy guys.” The macabre display underscored a nihilistic streak in online progressive culture that treats both unborn life and political violence as punchlines.

In Portland, a tattoo artist promoted what she described as a “Kirkiversary special,” offering customers tattoos placed on the exact spot on the neck where Kirk was shot. The promotion, highlighted by Libs of TikTok, turned the murder of a conservative leader into a marketing gimmick for body art.

As the anniversary approaches, some on the left—and even a few on the right aligned with Candace Owens—have also targeted Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, with criticism and derision. The attacks on Erika, who has largely grieved in private, reflect a broader coarsening of political discourse in which even widows of slain public figures are not spared.

In the days leading up to the one-year mark of her husband’s death, Erika Kirk authored an op-ed in the New York Times describing the pain and resilience that have defined her past year. “Grief is strange. Time continues even when every part of you wants it to pause or, better yet, rewind. But the people we love who have passed on would not want us to spend the rest of our lives trying to rewind. At first, I needed to survive the next 15 minutes. Over time, I’ve realized that Charlie would want me to live them,” she wrote, offering a stark moral contrast to those celebrating his murder.

The man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk, Tyler Robinson, now faces the death penalty in Utah if convicted. As the case moves forward, the spectacle of the “Kirkaversary” serves as a troubling reminder of how deeply some segments of the left have normalized hatred of conservatives—even to the point of mocking a father and husband’s violent death.
