Did Charlie Kirk have Tourette's Syndrome? Reddit discussion about late activist's face moving in "the strangest of ways" goes viral

Charlie Kirk had been considered a great orator throughout his life and career. His speeches and opinions had been subjected to many controversies and discussions as well. Weeks after his death, discussions surfaced on Reddit in which many claimed that Kirk's face was moving in "the strangest of ways", with many suggesting that he possibly had Tourette's Syndrome.

The original Reddit post, which is now deleted, shared a video of one of Charlie Kirk's speeches. The user highlighted the aforementioned factor about the late political activist's facial movements. During the discussion, while many dismissed the speculations, others thought that he possibly had some medical condition. 

According to FandomWire, one Redditor said that Kirk was more likely to make such facial movements when he was talking about many facts at one time and formulating a statement. Many further assumed that he could have consumed a substance that led to such facial movements while speaking.

However, it is to be noted that there is no official report suggesting that Charlie Kirk was ever diagnosed with either Tourette's Syndrome or any similar condition. Thus, nothing could be concluded from the speculations, given the fact that no information about any kind of illness or disability related to Charlie Kirk is available.

US President Donald Trump called Charlie Kirk a "great American hero" during his speech at the latter's memorial service

Charlie Kirk's memorial service was organized in Arizona on Sunday, September 21. Many important dignitaries were present at the event, including the US President Donald Trump, who also had a speech ready. While Kirk has been known as an amazing orator, Trump also gave him the label of a "great American hero" and a "martyr."

Donald Trump further called Kirk "our greatest evangelist for American liberty." One of the key remarks made by Trump about Kirk at the event over the weekend was,

"He was assassinated because he lived bravely, he led boldly, and he argued brilliantly — without apology…"

The US President further went about saying,

"Through it all, the core of Charlie's message and his basic method never changed… At every campus event, Charlie asked the people who disagreed with him to come forward — and instead of silencing them, he handed them a microphone and let them speak."

Trump then highlighted Kirk's legacy and recalled the moment when a staff member apparently told Kirk that many students at the campus did not share his point of view. According to the President, Kirk responded to the staff member and said that he was not at the campus to fight those people but to "try and lead them into a great way of life in our country." 

Apart from Donald Trump, JD Vance and Tesla CEO Elon Musk were also present at the memorial service of Charlie Kirk. As of now, the law enforcement officials have arrested Tyler Robinson as the suspected gunman who fired the shot at Kirk earlier this month. The case is, however, an active investigation. Authorities are trying to look into more evidence to fill in the gaps related to the tragedy.
