Charlie Kirk’s last texts to Marjorie Taylor Greene reveal what he was planning just weeks before his death

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed new details Wednesday about her final communications with conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The Georgia Republican posted screenshots of text messages she received from Kirk on August 27, just two weeks before his assassination at Utah Valley University on September 10.

The messages show Kirk reaching out to Greene about speaking at AmFest, Turning Point USA’s annual conference scheduled for December. Greene had previously called for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act and described Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.

In the text exchange, posted on X, Kirk asked Greene: “Would you want to also do a debate about aipac etc?” He quickly clarified that the debate would not be against him personally, adding “Not with me. No pressure. Well do whatever you want.” The messages suggest Kirk was planning to address controversial topics around Israel and AIPAC at the December conference, despite being a strong supporter of Israel throughout his career.

What Kirk was planning before his assassination

Greene explained in her social media post that Kirk’s invitation came after she had made controversial statements about Israel and AIPAC. She had previously called the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza genocide and stated that “innocent children, Christians, and people” were being killed.

The conversation reveals Kirk’s willingness to engage with different viewpoints. Greene noted that Kirk “made it clear NOT against him,” indicating he wanted to facilitate debate rather than directly challenge her positions himself.

Kirk, who was 31 years old and a father of two, was known for his “Prove Me Wrong” debate format where he would engage with people holding opposing views. FBI Director Kash Patel has revealed new evidence in the investigation, including text messages from suspect Tyler Robinson indicating premeditation. However, Patel’s handling of the Charlie Kirk shooting has drawn significant criticism after he initially posted incorrect information about the suspect being in custody. The suspect, Robinson, allegedly told his roommate he had “the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk” and was going to take it. Authorities have charged Robinson with aggravated murder, and Utah prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty. The FBI investigation has expanded to examine whether Robinson had accomplices, as officials claim the suspected assassin may not have been acting alone based on online communications with others who may have encouraged the attack.
