CNN to Release Hour-Long Documentary Framing Charlie Kirk’s Memorial as ‘Christian Nationalist’ Rally
CNN anchor Pamela Brown has announced an upcoming hour-long “documentary” about what she describes as the “growing influence of Christian nationalism in America,” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
The special, set to air this weekend, frames the assassination of the Turning Point USA founder as a “pivotal moment” that unified Christian nationalists and the Trump administration, and his memorial as some sort of “Christian Nationalist” rally.
“Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and prominent Christian nationalist, was assassinated. It became a rallying call for those who believed in his message. And it was a call to action,” Brown says in a teaser for the documentary.
Brown continues, “For the past several months, I’ve been working on a special project examining the growing influence of Christian nationalism in America….Experts say [Kirk’s assassination] was a pivotal moment for the movement and an occasion where the tragedy of his loss unified Christian nationalists and the Trump administration.”
The documentary features an interview with Matthew Taylor, a visiting scholar at Georgetown University’s Center on Faith and Justice, who called Kirk’s memorial service “one of the most prominent examples of this shift in our culture.”
Taylor claimed the assassination “activated” and “radicalized” a large segment of American Christians, leading them to believe they must “stand up for their rights.”

Following Kirk’s death, faith leaders reported a 15 percent increase in church attendance nationwide, The Post Millennial noted in a report about the upcoming documentary.
The memorial service, held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, featured prominent speakers, including President Trump, who described it as “an old-time revival.”
Kirk, known for his conservative activism and outspoken Christian faith, had always maintained that his faith was central to his life, stating many times prior to his death that he wanted to be remembered for “courage for my faith.”
Kirk was assassinated on September 10 during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.
Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old living with a transgender furry boyfriend, has been charged with Kirk’s murder.
