Influencer and Boxer Jake Paul Praises Charlie Kirk – Says He Would Have Been a President One Day

Jake Paul, the influencer and sometimes boxer, recently praised the late Charlie Kirk, suggesting that Kirk would have been elected president one day.

Lots of people believe this is true.

It’s one of the most maddening things about Kirk’s murder. It’s not even that he might have been a president. He might have been a White House press secretary, or a senator, or a high ranking cabinet member, or anything.

The point is that the killer robbed Charlie of his life and robbed the rest of us too. We will never get to see what Charlie could have become.

Influencer Jake Paul says Charlie Kirk would have been ‘the next president’

Boxer and influencer Jake Paul mourned the death of TPUSA co-founder Charlie Kirk in a new interview, saying that he would have inevitably been elected president someday if he had lived.

Becoming President someday, for Kirk, “was like his job and his purpose and all of that,” Paul told Theo Von, suggesting it would have made more sense than he, a boxer, aiming for the same position. “Charlie Kirk was clearly going to be the next president.”

Paul is an influencer with tens of millions of subscribers, and is noteworthy for having converted his online fame into a boxing career, real-world business ventures, and possibly a future career in politics. Paul has also been a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, and during a March 13 rally in Hebron, Kentucky, Trump offered him a “complete and total endorsement” should Paul choose to pursue political office.

Paul spoke with Von about his concerns about getting involved in politics, noting in today’s environment, assassination is a legitimate concern. Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

Nonetheless, he noted that he has been flirting with politics, saying, “I think it goes back to Marcus Aurelius, of, like, helping society and like that’s the number one thing you can do.” Aurelius has numerous quotes about how it is the duty of the powerful to be involved in politics for the public good.

He went on to argue that if there is a “dumb— running and opposing, I will enter the game and risk getting assassinated, but I don’t want to.”

The only good news is that Charlie Kirk will not be forgotten.

He will live on as an inspiration to a whole new generation of conservatives.
