One month after the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, Wikipedia editors are under fire for a series of politically charged edits that critics say smear Kirk’s legacy and promote left-wing narratives.

Wikipedia is under fire for how it has handled pages about Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk following his assassination.
