A protester yelled a violent threat at a pregnant woman at a Charlie Kirk memorial on Sept. 21, 2025, sparking national debate over political hostility and free speech.

Tens of thousands attended a September 21, 2025, memorial for Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist killed at Utah Valley University, honoring his life and legacy. Amid the gathering, a protester was recorded shouting at a pregnant attendee, saying, “I hope your baby dies,” and displaying a sign with violent imagery and messages calling for others to “rot in hell.” The individual continued to provoke mourners despite confrontations. The incident drew widespread condemnation and has been cited by some conservative leaders and media as evidence of rising political hostility, with claims that inflammatory rhetoric has fueled such acts. The event has reignited national debate over political violence, free speech, and the role of media in shaping public discourse, though the protester’s identity remains unconfirmed.
