Tucker Carlson’s ALP donated $1 million and launched a fundraiser for Charlie Kirk’s family following his assassination in Utah.
Tucker Carlson’s nicotine pouch company, ALP, has pledged $1 million to support the family of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated Wednesday at Utah Valley University. The company also launched a GiveSendGo campaign in Kirk’s memory.
“We met Charlie Kirk when he was 18… He was an amazing person,” Carlson and Daily Caller co-founder Neil Patel said in a statement. “We’ve set up a GiveSendGo page on their behalf and are seeding it with $1 million from Alp Pouch.”
Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was struck by a single shot from about 200 yards away while addressing students. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died, officials said.
Vice President JD Vance accompanied Kirk’s family as his casket was flown to Phoenix on Air Force Two. Meanwhile, the FBI released images of a person of interest and urged the public for information.
