A man in Minnesota decorated his home with a Charlie Kirk tribute, displaying Christmas lights reading, “We are Charlie Kirk.”
“My thought process with it — a lot of people said it was political — to me it’s more about his message. I think he was a great example; he combated with words instead of violence,” he told Valley News Live.
Jim Schermerhorn explained that the display was last-minute. “Really I just used some scrap plywood from the shop,” he said. “A little help from the internet on how to draw the letters the correct size, $50 in lights from Amazon overnight and two days later I had a sign on the roof.”
“99% has been positive,” Schermerhorn said. “I’ve had a few negative, I did post it to a Charlie Kirk page and that’s been completely all positive.”
Leading up to Christmas, Kirk’s organization, Turning Point USA, shared a post on X honoring its founder’s faith. The post, originally dated 2019, read, “Today and tomorrow we celebrate God coming in human form down from the heavens to save us. He humbled himself down to our sinner world to redeem us. He was killed despite doing nothing wrong, a perfect life,” Kirk wrote at the time. “He rose again. He lives. Jesus is king of the world. Celebrate this gift.”
Google announced that Kirk was the top trending search for 2025. Other top searches included the Netflix film “KPop Demon Hunters,” a plush figure called Labubu, the iPhone 15, and the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
Kirk also topped the list for searches relating to those who passed away, followed by Gene Hackman, Ozzy Osbourne, Anne Burrell, and Diane Keaton. Furthermore, Kirk was listed in Google’s trending news searches. That list involved the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” the government shutdown, Kirk’s assassination, tariffs, and the No Kings protest.
