New Orleans Saints fans reportedly booed during a moment of silence honoring Charlie Kirk and victims of gun violence at a game on September 15th, 2025. Reports indicate fans expressed anger towards the team for the tribute, continuing to boo as Kirk's name was displayed on the stadium's big board. The incident occurred during a period of national mourning and discussion surrounding Kirk's death, with vigils having been held in multiple locations, including Huntington Beach, California, and Dublin, Ohio. However, one scheduled vigil at Bowdoin College in Maine was canceled due to a credible threat, according to previous reports from September 15th, 2025. In separate but related commentary, Geraldo Rivera speculated via X on September 15th, 2025, that the alleged motive of the accused killer in the Kirk case, Tyler Robinson in Utah, might stem from fantasy role-play rather than political discord. Meanwhile, a YouGov poll released September 14th, 2025, indicated a disparity in how different political affiliations perceived the responses to Kirk's death. President Donald Trump commented on September 15th, 2025, regarding the murder of Chandra Nagamallaiah in Dallas, Texas, stating the victim was "beheaded... by an ILLEGAL ALIEN from Cuba who should have never been in our Country." This statement follows earlier reports on September 15th, 2025, that Florida Atlantic University had placed Dr. Karen Leader on leave for alleged misconduct at Charlie Kirk's grave, and that Speaker Johnson and Senator JD Vance had made remarks concerning Kirk's passing. Further context from previous reports on September 15th, 2025, includes observations from Pastor Howard John-Wesley that "how you die does not redeem how you lived," in reference to Kirk. Senator JD Vance announced plans to host "The Charlie Kirk Show" on Rumble.com. Political commentator Mollie Hemingway raised concerns about "indoctrination camps." In New York City politics, a spokesperson for Mayor Eric Adams denied reports of his potential withdrawal from the mayoral race, and Governor Kathy Hochul endorsed Zohran Mamdani. Senator John Fetterman advised Democrats against labeling President Trump an "autocrat."
