Supporter pitches ‘Charlie Kirk Act’ to Trump to hold media accountable for ‘hatred, division’
September 13, 2025 | Kevin Haggerty

A heartfelt plea vying to capture the attention of the president went viral Friday with hopes of enshrining a “great legacy” for the late Charlie Kirk with a law aimed at corporate media.

Since the political assassination of the young father and husband — dubbed a civil rights leader by radio host Glenn Beck — messages aimed at galvanizing into a unified coalition for positive change have continued to spread. On Friday, this included one woman imploring President Donald Trump to lead an effort to undo the Obama Administration’s amendment of the Smith-Mundt Act and more with the passage of a new “Charlie Kirk Act.”

“Alrighty, this message is for President Trump and his administration. If you stay to watch the video, please tag him down below, share and repost so we can try to get this to him as quickly as possible and hope that he can do something with this,” began the video that had garnered over two million views from just one X account that had shared the message from the woman who indicated she’d voted for Trump three times.

“I am hoping and praying that you will revisit what [President] Barack Obama and [Vice President] Joe Biden got rid of back in 2013, which is the Smith-Mundt Act, which held news corporations accountable for lying to the American people and spreading propaganda instead of truth,” she continued. “I think instead of bringing it back as a Smith-Mundt Act, you name it the Charlie Kirk Act, you make it a law, and you make it damn near impossible for these people to continue to lie to the American public, which has brought chaos, hatred, division, and anarchy all across this country.”

So now we are to become the party of restricting speech? Despicable as he left is with their speech it is sill protected, and there are already solutions in place for when it goes beyond protected speech.

Let's not go there, the best way to handle the media is to get off your lazy butt, do your homework, and dismantle these guys real time.

A frontal assault with a nuke is not always the best tactic.

I'd say the media is well on their way in the process of self-destruction.

All this has opened a lot of eyes. Put them out of business by not buying what they are selling.

Don't censor the first amendment.

I'd add that Charlie Kirk would be absolutely opposed to censoring the first amendment. He was its champion.

Just for consideration:

The left is inciting death and violence against their enemies. That is a perversion of the first amendment and there has to be consequences for doing it.

Letting it slide only encourages more of it - as it is getting the results they want. Look no further than the summer of love in 2020 where it all went unanwered.

Having the consequences of firing people and ostracizing them is the peaceful route. If that fails, there is only one other path that doesn't involve surrender.

The left fully embraced cancel culture and now it is biting them in the ass. That is all.

Kind of like using nuclear weapons. Best not to play. But if you do, the response better be decisive.
