Woman receives backlash after video of her grabbing Charlie Kirk's book and kicking it under the shelf goes viral 

A video of a woman kicking copies of Charlie Kirk's books under the shelf of a store recently went viral on X. For those uninformed, the conservative activist was shot and killed while attending a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.

On December 28, 2025, X user Bo Loudon shared a video of a woman recording herself kicking one of Kirk's books under the shelf. The book, titled The MAGA Doctrine: The Only Ideas That Will Win the Future, was published by the late political activist in March 2020.

The clip showed the woman, who remains unidentified, pushing around multiple copies of the book in her cart, periodically stopping to place a book on the floor and kick it under the shelf. Loudon's post, which received over 113K views, was captioned:

"BREAKING: This unhinged Leftist has GONE VIRAL after recording herself grabbing a Charlie Kirk book and kicking it under a store shelf. It sure would be a shame if this went even more viral and backfired."

The woman received immense backlash online, with X users calling for her to be publicly identified and face the consequences of her actions.

Charlie Kirk's death polarized the internet, garnering strong reactions from leftists and conservatives. Several X users were accused of mocking and celebrating the late activist's death, with US Vice President JD Vance encouraging such people to be fired when he guest-hosted an episode of The Charlie Kirk Show following Kirk's assassination.

"Call them out, and hell, call their employer. We don't believe in political violence, but we do believe in civility," Vance said at the time.

That same month, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show following his comments about Kirk's alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson. For those uninformed, Kimmel had suggested that the "MAGA gang" was "desperately trying" to characterize Robinson "as anything other than one of them" to seemingly "score political points from it."

Kimmel's show was reinstated a week after its suspension following protests and a boycott of Disney, which is ABC's parent company.

Charlie Kirk posthumously released another book this month

Charlie Kirk's new book, titled Stop in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life, was posthumously released on December 9, 2025, three months after the conservative activist's death. The book was reportedly completed a month before his assassination.

Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, recently went on a book tour to promote her late husband's book. Earlier this month, the widow appeared on Fox News' The Five, where she said that her husband's new book had the potential to "impact millions of lives."

"I saw a side of my husband that the world never got to see. And that to me was so special because that was him just being able to breathe, be able to be with the Lord, let my children climb all over him, be daddy... He knew that this was something that the world needed to hear, and God did too. And He put it on his heart, and Charlie wrote it — and I know that it's going to change and impact millions of lives," she said.

Kirk's new book topped the Amazon Top 100 bestseller list a day after its release, and hardcover copies were temporarily sold out. As per The Wall Street Journal, a spokesperson for Winning Team Publishing said the company published 200,000 copies. They added that 60,000 copies were sold on Amazon by the afternoon of December 9.

The spokesperson further added that more copies have been reordered, saying that the company was "humbled by the overwhelming interest."
