Fact check: Is the website doxxing people for Charlie Kirk's death affiliated with any political groups?

Checked on September 17, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The website in question, which appears to be "Expose Charlie’s Murderers" [1], is indeed doxxing people who celebrated Charlie Kirk's death, and it has been linked to conservative activists and Republican elected officials [1]. The site claims it has received nearly 30,000 submissions and aims to create a searchable database of 'Radical activists calling for violence' [1]. Far-right influencers and groups, including Chaya Raichik, Laura Loomer, and former Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio, have been posting identifying details about people they view as celebrating or glorifying Kirk's murder [2]. Conservative evangelical leaders have hailed Charlie Kirk as a martyr, with some comparing him to the biblical figure Stephen, and framing his killing as an attack on Christianity and the Christian church [3]. The doxxing campaign has resulted in at least 15 people being fired or suspended from their jobs, and some have been subjected to online abuse and harassment [4]. The website's activities may be seen as an extension of the far-right's efforts to silence and punish those who express opinions contrary to their own [5].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key missing context in the original statement is the motivation behind the doxxing campaign. According to some sources, the campaign is an attempt to silence and punish those who express opinions contrary to the far-right's own [5]. Another missing context is the role of employers in taking action against employees who make comments deemed offensive or celebratory about Kirk's death [5]. Alternative viewpoints suggest that the doxxing campaign is not only affiliated with far-right groups but also conservative evangelical leaders who have hailed Charlie Kirk as a martyr [3]. Additionally, some sources indicate that the doxxing campaign is led by far-right influencers, including Laura Loomer and former Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio [6]. It is also worth noting that the doxxing campaign has been promoted by far-right influencers and extremists, who are encouraging harassment against those listed on the website [2].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be biased towards implying a singular political affiliation of the doxxing website, when in fact, the website appears to be affiliated with multiple far-right groups and conservative evangelical leaders [1] [3] [2]. The statement may also be misleading in its implication that the doxxing campaign is only targeting people who celebrated Charlie Kirk's death, when in fact, the campaign is targeting a broader range of individuals who have expressed opinions contrary to the far-right's own [5]. The statement may benefit far-right groups by downplaying their involvement in the doxxing campaign and conservative evangelical leaders by omitting their role in hailing Charlie Kirk as a martyr [3]. On the other hand, the statement may harm individuals who have been doxxed by implying that they are somehow responsible for celebrating or glorifying Charlie Kirk's murder [4] [5].
