Cassie Clark, a lifestyle content creator known for her upbeat, non-political posts, told Fox News Digital that she was harassed on September 28 after wearing a red shirt emblazoned with Kirk’s name, signature, and the word “freedom” across the chest.
According to Clark, a man confronted her in public and accused her of supporting someone who “hated people like him.”
“He started just berating me that Charlie Kirk didn’t like people like him. Every time I would try to respond, he would start speaking over me,” Clark said. “A part of me didn’t believe how hated conservatives were until this morning.”
“I Am Charlie Kirk”
In a now-viral X post that has been viewed over 21 million times, Clark said she was “disgusted” by the encounter and vowed not to stay silent.
“Want a reason to hate me? I am a Constitutional Conservative. I am a Christian. And I am not going to be silent anymore,” she wrote.
Then she ended with four words that quickly spread across social media:
“I AM CHARLIE KIRK.”

The post struck a chord with Kirk’s supporters nationwide, many praising Clark for standing her ground and embodying the same fiery spirit that made Kirk a cultural force.
From Fashion to Advocacy
Clark followed up with a second post announcing that she plans to share more political content going forward. “Though I never had any intentions of becoming political… these days you’ll find a little local political commentary and interviews on my page too,” she wrote, adding playfully, “I’m sweet — but I’m sassy. So be warned, I clap back.”

She also revealed that she now hosts bipartisan discussions on Thursdays, signaling that her online presence will take on a more outspoken and civic-minded tone.
Honoring a Fallen Voice
Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated on September 10 during a campus event at Utah Valley University, where he was answering a question about mass shootings seconds before being struck by a bullet to the neck.
He was later pronounced dead at the hospital, leaving behind his wife Erika and their two young children. The alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested 33 hours later and now faces capital murder charges and the possibility of the death penalty.
For many conservatives, Clark’s red shirt has come to represent more than just apparel.It’s a quiet act of defiance in memory of a man whose voice galvanized millions.
“I won’t be silenced,” Clark said, echoing the same conviction that defined Charlie Kirk’s message. And judging by the millions who rallied behind her online, she’s far from alone.
