President Trump said he didn\u2019t watch the video of Charlie Kirk\u2019s shooting in Utah, saying he has steered away from viewing it so he didn\u2019t remember the conservative activist that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to watch it,\u201d Trump said on \u201cFox & Friends.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

He added, \u201cI didn\u2019t want to remember Charlie that way. Yeah, it’s horrific, is what I hear, just horrific.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president addressed hearing about the \u201cphysical emotion\u201d of witnessing the shooting on the Utah Valley University campus.<\/p>\n

Kirk was shot and killed Wednesday while debating gun reforms as part of his \u201cAmerican Comeback Tour.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The graphic videos of the shooting, which occurred in front of a crowd of approximately 3,000 people, surfaced across social media.<\/p>\n

Rep.\u00a0Anna Paulina Luna\u00a0(R-Fla.) this week\u00a0put out a public request for TikTok<\/a>, X and Meta to remove the footage of the murder. She said Thursday that TikTok has compiled with her request.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have just received word from TikTok that they will be removing the horrific videos of Charlie Kirk\u2019s final moments,\u201d she wrote in a statement<\/a> on the social platform X.<\/p>\n

The president also told \u201cFox & Friends\u201d that he didn\u2019t watch the footage of the stabbing on a train in Charlotte, N.C., when a Ukrainian woman was killed by suspect, Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
