The Incident and the Influencer Reaction
The video shows the woman picking up “The MAGA Doctrine: The Only Ideas That Will Win the Future” before kicking it out of sight. The clip gained massive traction after being re-posted by Bo Loudon, a prominent teen influencer and close friend of Barron Trump.
Loudon captioned the video: “This unhinged Leftist has GONE VIRAL after recording herself grabbing a Charlie Kirk book and kicking it under a store shelf. It sure would be a shame if this went even more viral and backfired.”
Public Outcry: “Disrespectful and Wrong”
Social media users on X (formerly Twitter) were quick to call for accountability, with many demanding the woman be banned from the retail outlet for damaging merchandise.
- Calls for Prosecution: One user questioned, “Has she been charged with damaging merchandise and permanently banned from the store? Just walk on by… nobody cares about your feelings.”
- The “Streisand Effect”: Several users suggested that the stunt would likely backfire by boosting the book’s sales. “Everyone go buy this book if that’s the game they want to play,” wrote one supporter.
- A Safety Concern: Another commenter noted, “This just feels wrong. You can disagree strongly without crossing lines that make everyone feel unsafe.”
Context: The Legacy of Charlie Kirk
The incident is particularly sensitive given Kirk’s recent death. The 31-year-old Turning Point USA CEO was allegedly shot and killed by Tyler Robinson on September 10, 2025, during a campus Q&A event at Utah Valley University (UVU).
Since his assassination, Kirk’s supporters have faced a series of provocative incidents:

- “No Kings” Protests: Videos have surfaced showing protesters openly mocking Kirk’s death.
- Teacher Controversy: A viral video of a teacher, Lucy Martinez, allegedly making a “bullet in the neck” gesture at a Kirk fan during a protest, also caused widespread national backlash earlier this year.
