Overview

Charlie Kirk Critics Doxxing and Boycotting Campaigns refers to reported attempts by Charlie Kirk fans and supporters to dox, cancel, boycott and generally expose people who celebrate Charlie Kirk's death following his assassination. Incidents of attempts to dox Kirk critics and people mocking his killing started in the days following his September 10th, 2025, death. A website made to share evidence of people celebrating his death, CharliesMurderers.com, started going viral around September 12th, but was deleted. Other websites, including CancelTheHate.com and CharlieKirkData.org, were launched around the same time to share information on people who celebrated Kirk's death. The incidents gained widespread media attention, inspiring discourse and reactions online. Reportedly, several people were fired or suspended over claims that they celebrated Kirk's death, including Walmart IT tech Ali Nasrati, who claims to have never posted about Kirk. Additionally, the Steam group CharlieTweetsDetected was formed around the same timeframe, which tracks comments from video game developers that have purportedly mocked Kirk's death.

Background

Charlie Kirk's Death

On September 10th, 2025, right-wing political commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated during an event at Utah Valley University. Kirk was considered a controversial figure by many for his conservative politics, leading to some celebrating or mocking his death online shortly after.

CharliesMurderers.com

On or around September 11th, 2025, X^[1] user @forcharliekirk1 launched the website CharliesMurderers.com, which looked to share submitted information about people who celebrated Charlie Kirk's death online.

That same day, the user made a post calling for "all evidence of extremists celebrating Charlie Kirk's death," garnering over 5,500 likes in four days.

CharliesMurderers.com has since been shut down as of September 15th, 2025.

Developments

CancelTheHate.com / CharlieKirkData.org

On September 11th, 2025, the website CancelTheHate.com^[2] launched. Like CharliesMurderers.com, the website collects and shares evidence of people who have allegedly celebrated Kirk's death. It includes a section where users can click on a state in the U.S. to see evidence relating to that state.

On September 14th, CharlieKirkData.org^[3] launched. Purportedly, this is the new website belonging to X user @forcharliekirk1 after CharliesMurderers.com was shut down. The user's X bio now shares the link to CharlieKirkData.org.

Media Attention / Firings

The media began reporting on the numerous websites and people exposing Kirk's critics and anyone mocking or celebrating his death, as some people reportedly started getting fired for their comments on Kirk's killing.

MSNBC Analyst Matthew Dowd

On September 11th, 2025, Fortune^[11] reported that MSNBC analyst Matthew Dowd was fired for comments made about Kirk, which he claims were "misconstrued."^[12]

Junior Nasdaq Employee / Assistant Dean

On September 13th, 2025, Al Jazeera^[4] published an article claiming that a junior Nasdaq employee and an assistant dean were fired over their comments about Kirk, directly discussing the "Expose Charlie's Murderers" website. Reportedly, the assistant dean posted that they have "no sympathy" for Kirk.

Journalist Karen Attiah

On September 15th, 2025, The New Republic^[10] reported that journalist Karen Attiah had been fired from the Washington Post. According to the report, she was fired for a post on Bluesky, reading, "Part of what keeps America so violent is the insistence that people perform care, empty goodness and absolution for white men who espouse hatred and violence. Refusing to tear my clothes and smear ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence is … not the same as violence."

Walmart IT Tech Ali Nasrati

On September 15th, 2025, an article was published to UserMag^[5] reporting that a Walmart corporate IT technician, Ali Nasrati, was suspended with pay after management received calls claiming that he had celebrated Kirk's death. According to Nasrati, he never posted about Kirk. He was quoted as saying:

"I don't post about anything, I don't take a stand on anything online. I know that whatever I post, a lot of people who are my coworkers will see it. So when I see stuff online I have my own opinions, but I don't share them with the world. I've been that way my entire life."

The article goes on to explain that someone had been running an account, @IslamAli911, using a photo of Ali taken from one of his social media accounts. Presumably, this is why he was reported as celebrating Kirk's death. Reportedly, people were also calling Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to try and get Ali's parents deported.

Greg Abbott's "FAFO" Post

On September 14th, 2025, Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted a video to X^[13] of a woman mocking Kirk's death, who was purportedly expelled from Texas Tech for doing so, writing, "Definitely picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk. Thanks Texas Tech," garnering over 33,000 likes in a day.

Later that day, Abbott posted an image of the woman being arrested to X,^[14] writing, "This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Texas Tech. FAFO," meaning, "fuck around and find out," garnering over 66,000 likes in a day.

The post gained some criticism from people who saw it as going against his outspoken support of freedom of speech.

For example, on September 14th, X^[15] user @TylerBranstet1 posted a critical Wojak meme under the post, garnering over 18,000 likes in a day.

Ryan Fournier, Cynthia Rehberg Incident

On September 15th, 2025, X^[6] user @RyanAFournier, or Ryan Fournier, the Chairman of political activist group Students for Trump, made a post announcing that he had deleted all posts relating to "Cynthia Rehberg at West Side Elementary School in Elkhorn, WI" after mistakenly claiming that she celebrated Kirk's death. The post ends, "Moving forward, we ask that all tips include as many details as possible—along with screenshots and supporting evidence. We must continue exposing individuals mocking Charlie Kirk’s death, but accuracy is critical."

CharlieTweetsDetected Steam Group

On September 10th, 2025, the Steam group CharlieTweetsDetected (Charlie Tweets Detected) was created to document and track comments from video game developers that purportedly celebrated or mocked Charlie Kirk's death. As of September 16th, the group accumulated over 13,600 followers.^[16]

The group's description on Steam reads, "Not sure how much I can write here without being removed, but Charlie Kirk died. In the aftermath, numerous individuals cheered. These people worked on these games."

Within the group, the followers have two curated lists of supported and unsupported games, which have been determined as either those that celebrated Kirk's assassination or those that they encourage others to support based on comments they deem positive.

The former group's description states, "Developers on this list Celebrated the tragedy at the university of Utah on September 10th 2025. THIS IS NOT meant to be used to harass, only to fuel purchasing decisions," while the latter reads, "These developers are current few in number, but they took a strong position AGAINST those would celebrate the events of Sept 10th, and should be commended!"

Over the following days after its creation, the CharlieTweetsDetected group began garnering attention online as it sparked discourse and reactions.

For instance, on September 15th, 2025, X^[17] user @Grummz posted about it on his account, noting its growth in followers, and received over 63,000 views and 3,800 likes in a day.

The Steam group also sparked discussion threads on Reddit on September 15th, including posts to the /r/GGdiscussion^[18] and /r/KotakuInAction^[19] subreddits, the former of which received over 390 upvotes in 22 hours, and the latter of which received 750 in the same timeframe.

Online Reactions

The doxxing websites and campaigns became the subject of reactions and discussions online, while Charlie Kirk's supporters continued to call out those allegedly celebrating his death.

On September 11th, 2025, an article about the campaigns by Wired was posted to the /r/technology^[7] subreddit, garnering over 37,000 upvotes and 1,300 comments before being locked by moderators.

On September 12th, X^[8] user @Bushra1Shaikh made a post criticizing conservatives for the way they're handling those who allegedly celebrate Kirk's death, garnering over 11,000 likes in three days.

On September 14th, 2025, X^[9] user @cturnbull1968 made a post sharing @forcharliekirk1's account, calling them out for taking crypto donations, implying that he is untrustworthy, garnering over 3,600 likes in a day.
