In one of the more grotesque displays, a left-wing agitator attempted to reenact Kirk’s assassination in front of attendees.
Left-wing radicals and Antifa militants rioted outside Turning Point USA's Women's Leadership Summit on Saturday, with some of them chanting, "Charlie Kirk deserved to die." Additionally, some of the radicals tried to reenact Kirk's assassination that took place at Utah Valley University on September 10 last year.
Leftist agitators dressed in masks and chanted, "Charlie Kirk deserved to die, women hold up half the sky," while being led by an agitator with a megaphone.

The summit, which spans from Friday, June 5 to Sunday, June 7, includes speakers such as Erika Kirk, Alex Clark, Riley Gaines, Allie Beth Stuckey, and others. The theme of the summit is HER, or comprised of "Holistic," "Empowered," and "Redeemed."
Despite the powerful and peaceful message at the center of the event, the opposition to the events grew violent on Saturday morning with clashes between police and Antifa militants.
In one of the more grotesque displays, a left-wing agitator attempted to reenact Kirk’s assassination in front of attendees. They were instructed by other agitators at the event, “Be as loud as you can. Be as obnoxious as you can. Make these people hate us. Make sure they know you hate them.”

The leftist agitators were seen swarming entrances to the event as well as hitting and throwing objects at police who were securing the event. In addition to the clashes outside the events, people heckled Erika Kirk as she was speaking, falsely claiming that she "protects pedophiles."

Kirk responded, "It's important to remember that happiness comes and goes, and I pray that you find it."
The events come as Tyler Robinson, the man charged with assassinating TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, is on trial and facing the death penalty in Utah for the crimes. His DNA was found on the murder weapon, at the scene, and he reportedly admitted to killing Kirk to the police, his parents, and his friends in three separate instances.
