Well-known conservative activist and outspoken Trump supporter Charlie Kirk was fatally shot earlier this week at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
After his death, a post circulating widely on social media says Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has offered to pay all the living and education expenses of two of Kirk's children. The post has already gone viral in various channels, yet there are doubts as to whether Jefferson ever promised this.
The post states that right after following Charlie Kirk's passing, Minnesota Vikings player Justin Jefferson pledged to cover all living and educational expenses for Kirk's two children. The gesture aimed to ease the family's burden, and this move got a lot of love from social media. The alleged post states:
"Immediately after Charlie Kirk passed away, Minnesota Vikings superstar Justin Jefferson immediately stepped in, pledging to pay all living and educational expenses for Kirk’s two children. This action not only eased the burden on Kirk's family during this time of grief, but also caused a stir on social media, as many people expressed their admiration for Justin Jefferson’s kindness in this tearful moment."
People all over the web talked about how kind and giving Justin Jefferson is. Fans wrote a lot about how moved they were by what he did, and how it helped not just Kirk's family, but also the wider community witnessing the moment. The post led to a lot of discussion, with people praising Justin Jefferson for doing so much during a hard time and demonstrating the power of empathy in the public eye.
