EXCLUSIVE:<\/strong> Kyle Rittenhouse spoke with Fox News Digital Sunday about his friendship with Charlie Kirk, a bond that began in 2021, as he attended the conservative activist\u2019s massive memorial service at State Farm Arena<\/a> in Glendale, Arizona.<\/p>\n

Rittenhouse \u2014 who first connected with Kirk while facing homicide charges<\/a> that made him a political lightning rod \u2014 said he immediately took time off work to grieve the loss of the Turning Point USA founder.<\/p>\n

“When Charlie was assassinated, I was on my lunch break at work,” Rittenhouse told Fox News Digital Sunday morning. “I just got home to let my dog out. And I went on X, and the first video I saw was my friend being murdered.”<\/p>\n

Rittenhouse added, “I took the rest of the day off work. I took the rest of the week off of work because Charlie meant a lot to me.”<\/p>\n

Kirk had been one of Rittenhouse\u2019s most vocal supporters. He brought Rittenhouse on “The Charlie Kirk Show” multiple times and featured him at multiple events organized by Turning Point USA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In December 2021, during Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference in Phoenix, Kirk told Rittenhouse he was “a hero to millions,” according to the Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Kirk threatened legal action after protesters confronted Rittenhouse during an appearance at the University of Memphis, Newsweek reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since being acquitted of all charges in the Kenosha, Wisconsin, shootings \u2014 where he shot three men during a 2020 Black Lives Matter<\/a> riot, leaving two dead \u2014 Rittenhouse largely has kept a low profile.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rittenhouse is one of thousands attending the massive memorial service on Sunday for Kirk, who was fatally shot Sept. 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.<\/p>\n

The public memorial service included speeches from President\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a> and Vice President JD Vance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
