Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet on Saturday said Charlie Kirk's surgeon called it an "absolute miracle" that the bullet that killed him didn’t exit his body because dozens of people were standing behind him when he was shot.

"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," Kolvet, the executive producer of "The Charlie Kirk Show," wrote in a lengthy post on X.

Yeah should be a spectacular exit wound, especially so if it hit bone like the doctor claims?

Yeah.

So... this means...

Either it was actually Robinson who took the shot, but not with a 30.06...

Or... It wasn't Robinson, and there was another / different shooter, Kirk was not actually shot from the front, the blood geyser was an exit wound, not an entry wound, again from not a 30.06, but with a smaller caliber and different bullet trajectory, where the bullet could actually have made the neck geyser wound, and then lodged itself not too far away, near the skin ... and Robinson is being set up as a patsy...

Or, whoever this surgeon is, is lying.

Or, the TPUSA person claiming some surgeon said this, is lying.

EDIT:

It is also probably worth mentioning that uh, Netanyahu denied Israel was involved in the shooting... before anyone made that accusation.

Because we all know everything Israel and Mossad does is above board, totally morally perfect in all ways.

Netanyahu’s response comes after MAGA commentators have claimed Kirk was privately far more critical of Netanyahu’s Israeli government than he let on publicly.

See, nobody of major prominence on the right wing had actually said 'I think Israel killed Kirk' before Netanyahu denied killing Kirk.

What people on the right were saying was that relations between Kirk and some Israeli donors had gotten tense in the days and weeks prior.

... But nobody had actually directly said or implied that Israel killed Kirk... but Netanyahu felt compelled to deny that, explicitly.

And just in case anyone reading this needs a refresher on how words work:

Israel != All Jews

Anti-Zionism != Anti-Semitism

Also, most American Jews are uh, you know, highly critical of Israel's ongoing genocide... its white evangelicals that have a hard on for Israel, by way of hating Muslims, and the destruction of Israel being necessary for their apocalyptic end times prophecy.

Also also, Tiktok is currently ablaze with a mass religious/spiritual psychosis trend of many American Christians believing the rapture, the apocalypse, is going to happen on... this upcoming Tuesday.

Mhm. Yep. This all seems very normal.

I heard someone else say they saw people claim it was happening on Tuesday.

Matthew 24:36, 39, 43-44

[36] “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. [39] and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. [43] But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. [44] Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
