The videos of a man standing behind Charlie Kirk before he was shot at Utah Valley University have gone viral because people think he’s an accomplice tipping off the killer.
It’s always good to wait on these things as I’ve found the hard way. It wasn’t that at all. He was adjusting for the glaring sun.
The man in the white t-shirt, sunglasses and a hat is Christian author, public speaker, and radio host Frank Turek.
He is one of Charlie Kirk’s friends who was there as part of his team. That came out fairly quickly but not everyone got the memo.

You know what Stewart? I like you. You’re not like the other people, here in the trailer park.
From the roof top the shooter could shoot Kirk at any time, what sign would he need ? A sign for what? The theory that he was given a sign as to when to shoot makes no sense but there are many theories out there, many of them so far fetched that they are absurd one guy associated the number… Read more »
Anyone signaling would not be near the line of fire. That guy was close to the line of fire. A shooter would be focusing on the target, in a scope, would not be looking for a signal.
