So many American presidents have been assassinated.

Literally Pu Lin

The Kork shooting is the latest.

Two days earlier, the suspect of shooting President Trump's ally and well-known conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Taylor Robinson, first appeared in court, and the prosecutor's office initially filed seven charges against the 22-year-old, including serious murder, illegal shooting, obstruction of justice, interfering with witness testimony and violence in front of children, such as charges, he could face the death penalty.

Robinson who shot Kirk

According to Xinhua news agency, the official also released records of conversations with his roommate after Robinson committed the crime, including admitting that he was the murderer and the reason for shooting Kirk.

Utah County prosecutors in the U.S. publicly read the papers left before Robinson's case and the conversations with his roommate after the case on the 16th. The chat records showed that Robinson sent a message on the 10th to his roommate to look at a note below the keyboard that read: "I have a chance to kill Charlie Kirk, I want to seize this opportunity."

Asked by his roommate why he chose to shoot Kirk, Robinson said: ¡°I¡¯m tired of the hatred he spreads.

It is reported that Robinson is in a romantic relationship with his roommate. Investigators said the roommate was transgender. Robinson's mother told investigators that the son turned far left politically last year and became more pro-gay and transgender rights.

Mr. Kirk, co-founder of the U.S. non-profit ¡°America¡¯s Turnpoint¡± and one of the most influential ¡°networkers¡± in the Trump supporters camp, was shot dead at the University of Utah Valley, Utah, at the age of 31. Mr. Kirk was being shot and was answering questions about group shootings, gun violence and transgender.

Cook was speaking before he was shot.

In fact, Kirk is not the first political figure in the United States to die as a result of gun violence.Since he was shot, various assassinations in American history have again been the focus.

01

John F. Kennedy

One of the most famous assassinations is the shooting of John F. Kennedy, the youngest president in American history.

On November 22, 1963, then-President Kennedy was shot dead in a car cruise in Dallas, Texas.

Former President Kennedy.

For many years, Kennedy's death has made people all over the world curious, because there are too many "elements"-former US Marine Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of being a gunman, but he insisted that he was framed; On the third day after the incident, when Oswald was transferred to Dallas County Jail, he was shot by nightclub owner Jack Ruby with a revolver at close range. After that, the Cuban Communist Party, the KGB of the Soviet Union, the CIA of the United States, the Italian Mafia and the successor President Johnson took turns to become the protagonists of conspiracy theories.

Former U.S. Navy soldier Lee Harvey Oswald accused of shooting

In order to calm public opinion, in September 1964, the investigation team appointed by President Johnson and led by Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, released the "Warren Report". CBS bluntly stated that the report was nothing more than a rush to officially announce two things: Oswald committed the murder alone; There is no possibility of a larger conspiracy. Not surprisingly, most Americans are still reluctant to accept the Warren report, which makes them feel "talking to themselves".

On March 18, the National Archives released the last record of the Kennedy assassination. That night, the website was briefly paralyzed by the surge in visitor numbers. Several recent declassified documents showed that the CIA had a much higher level of understanding of Oswald than previously claimed. More embarrassingly, the CIA knew that Oswald was a dangerous person in the weeks before the assassination, and they did not tell the FBI.

According to the official US government investigation, a "CE399" bullet fired from the Oswald rifle, then hit both Kennedy and the governor of Texas Connor. The bullet first hit Kennedy's neck, then through the back, ribs, wrists and thighs of Connor, resulting in a total of seven wounds.

Kennedy was shot.

02

by Abraham Lincoln.

On April 14, 1865, when the whole country was immersed in the celebration atmosphere of the Southern Union Army surrender and the end of the Civil War, the Washington Ford Theatre suddenly heard a whispering gunshot that broke this difficult moment of peace. The 16th President of the United States Abraham Lincoln was murdered! With this shocking cry, the Theater was caught up in chaos. The shocking American assassination, the murderer was the then famous drama actor John Wilkes Bush.

Lincoln was shot in the theater.

Lincoln was quickly carried to the opposite Peterson Inn, where he remained unconscious. Until 7:22 a.m. the next day, Lincoln was declared dead, becoming the first American president to be assassinated during his tenure. On the run for more than a dozen days after the assassination, Booth was eventually hunted down to Virginia, where he was killed during the round-up.

This incident not only changed the historical trend of the United States, but also had a profound impact on the rights of blacks.

03

by William McKinley.

As the 25th president of the United States, William McKinley devoted himself to promoting the economic development and external expansion of the United States during his tenure. He also started the war against Spain and destroyed the plans of some American interest groups and people at that time. So, on September 6, 1901, an anarchist named Leon Jogosh shot McKinley twice in a row in the Music Temple of the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. One bullet bruised McKinley's chest, while the other pierced his abdomen, hitting the stomach, kidneys and pancreas.

McKinley shot dead

Although McKinley was transported to the hospital on time, due to relatively poor medical technology at the time, doctors could not remove all the bullets that hit his belly.In the end, due to the rapid spread of infection and malaria, McKinley died on September 14, becoming the third assassinated president of the United States.

The assassin, Jogosh, was arrested on the spot after the stabbing and found guilty after a quick trial. He was electrocuted on 29 October 1901.

04

by Martin Luther King.

The fate of Martin Luther King, a well-known American black people¡¯s rights leader, is also very difficult, and although he has been fighting for more rights for black Americans, what he has done cannot be understood by all Americans.

Nearly a hundred years after Lincoln¡¯s death, Martin Luther King delivered his famous ¡°I have a dream¡± speech at the Lincoln Memorial Hall on National Square, but on April 4, 1968, the same human rights activist was assassinated.

Martin Luther King, Jr., black American civil rights leader

James Earl Ray, who murdered him, once pleaded guilty, then doubled confession, and died in prison in 1998. For a long time, it has been controversial whether Ray committed the crime alone or whether the murderer was someone else.

Martin Luther King's son Martin Luther King III and daughter Bernice King issued a statement on July 21, reiterating that "Rey is not the real murderer" and pointing out that in a lawsuit filed by the Martin Luther King family at the end of the 20th century, the jury agreed that "Martin Luther King is a victim of a conspiracy and the complicit includes government agencies."

U.S. civil rights activists and the media questioned the Trump administration¡¯s alleged intent to publish the murder files to shift the public¡¯s attention to the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

05

Robert Kennedy

Shortly after Martin Luther King was assassinated, Robert Kennedy was killed while running for president.

Robert Kennedy was the brother of former President John F. Kennedy. In 1968, just as Robert F. Kennedy won the presidential primary and was expected to be the next president, he was also assassinated at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The killer was identified as a Palestinian immigrant named Sirhan Shilham on the grounds that Robert supported Israel.

Robert Kennedy was murdered in a hotel.

Five years ago (in 1963) his brother John Kennedy was also assassinated, giving rise to a large number of conspiracy theories.

On April 18 this year, according to Central Television News, about 10,000 pages of records related to the 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy were released. National Intelligence Director Gabard said in a statement that the disclosure of the archive would ¡°re-evidence the late truth.¡±

other

In addition to the above-mentioned characters and events, political violence can be traced back to the 20th President of the United States, James Garfield.

On June 12, 1963, in Jackson, Mississippi, white racists murdered civil rights activist Medgar Evers; on September 15, the Third K Party detonated a bomb at Birmingham Church in Alabama, killing four African girls.

In 1933, a man who claimed to ¡°hate all rulers¡± attempted to assassinate President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was last struck by a lady with a handbag, and Roosevelt escaped, but Chicago Mayor Anthony Thermark was killed. Later, Alabama Governor and Democrat George Wallace was hit by four bullets to break his spine, resulting in a permanent paralysis below his backbone. Republican President Gerald Ford succeeded in escaping the assassination of a female assassin in September 1975.

On March 30, 1981, the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, and his spokesman, James Brady, and two police officers were shot outside the Hilton Hotel in Washington.

According to rumors, Reagan is convinced that God saved his life.This is similar to what Trump suffered at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024 ¡ª a bullet just wiped his right ear.

Trump Gets Shot During Speech

Terrorism continues on June 14, 2025, in Minnesota: a clearly right-wing extremist shoots Democratic lawmakers Melissa Houtman and Senator John Hoffman were seriously wounded in another attack on the same day. Trump said: ¡°The United States does not tolerate such atrocities,¡± but he did not take responsibility for right-wing forces and did not attend the funeral of the Houtman.

After the assassination of Charlie Kork, Trump pointed his head to leftist remarks.In an extremely polarized American society, Trump has never made any remarks to promote reconciliation so far.

Now, many Americans are afraid of the chain reaction that Charlie Cook¡¯s assassination could trigger.
