Charlie Kirk praised Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson in the weeks before the conservative influencer was assassinated on a Utah campus on Wednesday.
Jackson took heat in August for sharing a Bible quote Kirk had posted on his X account. The two-time NFL MVP was known for sharing messages of faith on social media and being outward about his Christian faith. Kirk applauded Jackson’s “courage and conviction” amid the backlash.

In the wake of Kirk’s k*lling, Jackson wasn’t among those who shared a reaction. However, he shared Super Bowl champion Torrey Smith’s post.
“Celebrating the d3ath of someone you don’t share the same beliefs as is wild,” Smith wrote on X. “Seeing it play out in real time is disgusting.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Jackson’s rep for further comment.
Kirk was sh*t on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem and later di3d.
President Donald Trump announced Kirk’s d3ath later in the day.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is d3ad. 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!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
