Dean Withers Reacts to Charlie Kirk’s Tragic D**th

Dean Withers, the 21-year-old political commentator and livestreamer, captured the internet’s attention again. This time, it was for his raw, heartfelt reaction to the a**a**ination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Livestream Tears

Known for his articulate debates with conservatives on TikTok and YouTube, Withers rose to prominence in 2023. The Grand Junction, Colorado native has built a massive following: over 4.3 million TikTok fans, 346,000 YouTube subscribers, and nearly 18 million video views. Many remember his viral clip, “Can 1 Woke Teen Survive 20 Trump Supporters?”, which alone has 17 million views.

During a recent livestream, Withers openly cried in front of 250,000 viewers, sharing his emotional response to Kirk’s d**th.

From Conservative Roots to Liberal Advocate

Raised in a conservative household, Withers shifted ideologically after engaging with left-leaning thinkers and conducting his own research. Today, he champions liberal causes, including social justice, LGBTQ+ rights, and reproductive freedoms. He often debates figures like Charlie Kirk in well-researched, respectful discussions.

Heartfelt Condemnation of Violence

In his viral TikTok video, which has amassed over 10 million views, Withers expressed:

“I’m sad, distraught. In fact, I just cried in front of my livestream.”

He condemned the sh**ting, calling g*n vi*lence “disgusting, vile, and abhorrent.” Withers also sent his thoughts and prayers to Kirk’s family and the witnesses of the tragic event at Utah Valley University.

Despite frequent ideological clashes, his response resonated across the political spectrum. It reminded fans that respect and humanity can transcend political differences — even in moments of tragedy.

The A**a**ination

Charlie Kirk was in the middle of a “prove me wrong” debate during a talk when a person dressed in dark clothing appeared on a nearby roof. A single shot struck Kirk in the carotid artery.

The FBI is still searching for the sh**ter. Authorities initially detained two people but later confirmed they had no connection to the a**ack.

Kirk’s Legacy

Known for his pro-Trump views and traditional values, Kirk frequently engaged in spirited debates at colleges nationwide as part of his American Comeback Tour. At UVU, he had faced opposition before, where a petition to bar him from campus gathered over 7,000 signatures.

Kirk leaves behind his wife, Erika Frantzve, their three-year-old daughter, and a 16-month-old son.
