TPUSA Spokesperson Explains the ‘Lack of an Exit Wound’ in Charlie Kirk’s Assassination After Internet Sleuths Release Dangerous Information Online
The conspiracy nuts are at it again, spreading wild rumors about Charlie Kirk’s assassination like it’s some deep-state plot, but TPUSA’s longtime executive director Andrew Kolvet just shut them down with cold, hard facts from the surgeon himself. In a post on X that’s cutting through the noise, Kolvet addressed the “lack of an exit wound” theory head-on, explaining it’s no mystery—it’s a miracle. “I’m usually not interested in delving into most of this kind of online chatter, and I apologize this is somewhat graphic, but in this case, the fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know,” Kolvet wrote. He spoke directly to the doc who worked on Kirk, who said the high-powered .30-06 bullet “absolutely should have gone through… This would have taken a moose or two down, an elk, etc.” But Kirk’s bone was so dense and healthy, it stopped the round cold—like the man was made of steel.
The full post from Colvet:
I want to address some of the discussion about the lack of an exit wound with Charlie. I’m usually not interested in delving into most of this kind of online chatter, and I apologize this is somewhat graphic, but in this case, the fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know.
I just spoke with the surgeon who worked on Charlie in the hospital…
He said the bullet “absolutely should have gone through, which is very very normal for a high powered, high velocity round. I’ve seen wounds from this caliber many times and they always just go through everything. This would have taken a moose or two down, an elk, etc.”
But it didn’t go through. Charlie’s body stopped it.
I mentioned to his doctor that there were dozens of staff, students, and special guests standing directly behind Charlie on the other side of the tent, and he replied:
“It was an absolute miracle that someone else didn’t get killed.”
“His bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel. It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too.”
In the end, the coroner did find the bullet just beneath the skin.
Even in death, Charlie managed to save the lives of those around him.
Remarkable. Miraculous.
This pours cold water on the tinfoil-hat crowd, including Candace Owens, who claimed footage from behind showed no exit wound, fueling doubts about the FBI’s lone shooter narrative.

BREAKING: Candace Owens has now viewed footage from the missing camera that was BEHIND Charlie Kirk.
She says the video shows no blood and NO sign of an exit wound.
This would DEBUNK the official narrative of a rifle shot from in front.

But Kolvet’s intel from the surgeon makes it clear: Kirk’s physical strength saved lives, a “miracle” that kept the bullet from ripping through and hitting innocents. It’s a testament to the guy’s grit—fighting radicals till the end, even in death defying physics.
The left’s hate killed Kirk, with Tyler Robinson’s ANTIFA-engraved bullets and Discord plots exposed, but these rumors distract from the real evil: radicalization that’s claimed three conservatives this year. With Erika vowing to carry on Turning Point’s mission and Trump blasting the “heinous” act, we’re rallying. Federal probes into leftist groups for advance knowledge? That’s the focus—not conspiracy BS.
The video of Owens questioning the wound is on X—watch and see the debunk. Kirk’s legacy? Unbreakable, like his bones. Honor him—America first, keep fighting the radicals.

Mark Van der Veen offers some of the most analytical and insightful writings on politics. He regularly opines on the motives and political calculations of politicians and candidates, and whether or not their strategy will work. Van der Veen offers a contrast to many on this list by sticking mainly to a fact-based style of writing that is generally combative with opposing ideologies.
I posted this on X last night:
There is a way that a .30-06 bullet could have entered Kirk’s neck, severed his carotid artery, and become lodged in the neck rather than passing through. Assuming a 150 grain bullet was used, the standard powder load of 52 to 55 grains could be reduced to achieve a kinetic force that would not pass entirely through the neck. This may have been done to prevent injury to those standing in back of Kirk. Also, the bullet could have been hollowed out to further reduce its kinetic force and cause it to mushroom upon impact, further reducing its penetration depth. However, figuring out the exact powder load and bullet modifications to do this would have required a high level of expertise and numerous scope calibration firings to account for the higher degree of bullet drop with the reduced powder load. This is evidence that a far more professional group of weapons experts were behind this shooting than an untrained 22 year old soy boy.
He as hit in the neck by a 30-06. I do not care how strong his bones are the energy delivered (even from 200yds) would have done an insane amount of damage to the soft tissue. No exit wound from a human neck hit by that round? The energy had to go somewhere!
Candace Owens doesn’t know what the hell she is talking about most of the time.
Not a miracle . More like coverup
You cannot let people release these ridiculous statements that just add fuel to the conspiracy theories. There are millions of people who are ex-military, hunters and gun enthusiasts that know a human vertebra cannot stop this round.
Releasing this statement was a huge mistake.
