Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet on Saturday said Charlie Kirk’s surgeon called it an “absolute miracle” that the bullet that killed him didn’t exit his body because dozens of people were standing behind him when he was shot.

“I want to address some of the discussion about the lack of an exit wound with Charlie. I’m usually not interested in delving into most of this kind of online chatter, and I apologize this is somewhat graphic, but in this case, the fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know,” Kolvet, the executive producer of “The Charlie Kirk Show,” wrote in a lengthy post on X.

    30-06 round like that, at double or triple that distance, will knock a full grown deer off its feet from the energy and put a hole the size of a fist in it. If it’s a hollow point round, double that exit wound size.

    Usually you’d use a round of that caliber to hunt moose or bears. Many deer hunters think it’s overkill.

    Bullets interacting with human tissue DO have a tendency to get weird, but the forces involved here simply do not add up as presented.
