Sage Steele to Newsmax: ‘Heartbroken, Mad’ Over Kirk Killing

Former ESPN broadcaster Sage Steele expressed profound grief and outrage over the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, telling Newsmax on Wednesday that she’s “heartbroken and mad.”

Steele, who collaborated with Kirk on his podcast and at events such as AmFest2024, shared her personal admiration for Kirk while condemning the attack as a desperate tactic of the left. In fact, Steele, who said she is on her honeymoon, was preparing remarks for an event she was going to do with Kirk next week in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

“I always felt so honored to sit next to him because he made me better and he made me smarter. He made me think. He made my faith deeper because of the things he shared,” Steele said on “Rob Schmitt Tonight.”
