Pawn Stars’ Corey Harrison has called for ‘action’ and ‘perp walks’ following the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
Harrison, 42, uploaded a fiery video blaming the media and Democrats for Kirk’s death on Wednesday afternoon, shortly after he was killed.
MAGA commentator Kirk, 31, was fatally shot while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. After being hit by a single bullet in the neck, the father-of-two collapsed immediately before ultimately succumbing to his injuries at a local hospital.
The video has earned over four million views on X and over 20k ‘likes’ on Instagram. ‘#Ripcharlie #thedevilisademocrat #fightfightfight,’ he captioned the post on Instagram, tacking on several flexed bicep emojis.
Harrison began by admitting he surprised himself by agreeing with Democrats – ‘thoughts and prayers aren’t enough this time’ – before the temperature of his video increased.
‘We lost a great one today guys,’ Pawn Stars alum Corey Harrison said. ‘I’m just going to throw it out there. I never thought I’d agree with Democrats man, thoughts and prayers aren’t enough this time. There needs to be action. I’m done with this, this is ridiculous. You guys ever notice it’s one side? It’s one side, every single time.

‘You know what happens when you sit there, CNN, MSNBC, when you sit there and you demonize somebody, you call them a Nazi? Nazis are supposed to be evil, you’re literally telling the entire country, every one of your viewers, everybody that watches you online, that it’s OK to kill Nazis, right?
‘You don’t like the way he thinks. Who’s the Nazi? You guys literally let this man die on your watch, you guys are the one that contributed to this, it was every single one of you.
‘Every single one of you that supported anything that they said. Every Democrat, every news channel, anybody that ever said, “If you don’t think the way we think, this man is a Nazi.”
‘This man had three children, he was a pastor, he was a father, and he was loved by a bunch of people. You guys killed this man, whether you pulled the trigger yourself.
‘There needs to be action. There needs to be something done and there needs to be perp walks done for this. You guys created a monster, you guys have to deal with it. F**k you, f**k you, f**k you!’
His words mirror what President Donald Trump said in an Oval Office address about Kirk’s death on Wednesday evening.
‘It’s long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequences of demonizing those with whom you disagree, day after day, year after year, in the most hateful and despicable way possible,’ Trump said.

‘For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today and it must stop right now.’
He compared the murder to the assassination attempt on his own life in July 2024, the attacks on ICE agents, the alleged killing of Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione and the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
‘Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives,’ he said.
The President asked Americans to commit themselves to Kirk’s values: ‘The values of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law and the patriotic devotion and love of God.
‘Charlie was the best of America and the monster who was attacking him was attacking our whole country.’
Kirk leaves behind his wife Erika Frantzve, with whom he had a three-year-old daughter and a son, 16 months. The couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in May.
A manhunt is currently underway for the killer. The FBI have released images of a person of interest in the assassination in a desperate appeal for help, offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the killer’s arrest.

Late on Thursday afternoon, law enforcement sources said they knew the name of the person of interest, but did not publicly reveal their identity.
Turning Point USA, the group founded by Mr Kirk as a teenager to spread conservative ideas on US campuses, released a statement last night from the campaigner’s official X account, saying: ‘All of us have lost a leader, a mentor and a friend.’
Turning Point described Mr Kirk as a ‘natural builder and problem solver’ who ‘loved a challenge and saw every setback as a chance to learn, grow, pray and try again’.
‘Although Charlie is gone, his legacy will endure,’ the statement continued.
Trump yesterday pledged that he would posthumously award his ally the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.
‘Charlie was a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty, and an inspiration to millions and millions of people,’ the US President said after attending a 9/11 memorial service at The Pentagon.
‘We miss him greatly, yet I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on.’
