The children of reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley made headlines with their recent onstage appearance at a Charlie Kirk remembrance rally held on the University of Alabama campus. Savannah and Grayson Chrisley, well-known for their roles in the long-running reality show “Chrisley Knows Best,” took the opportunity to rally conservative students to stand firm in their beliefs following the tragic murder of Kirk.
“The future isn’t written in Washington guys,” Savannah Chrisley passionately declared. “It’s written here tonight, with the choices that you make. Stand up, speak out, be bold, honor Charlie and join us because courage starts now and it starts with you.” Her words resonated with the audience, emphasizing the importance of taking a stand for one’s beliefs in challenging times.
Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative influencer and the CEO of Turning Point USA, was tragically shot on September 10 while addressing a campus event in Utah. His organization is known for advocating conservative policies among America's youth and has established a significant presence across colleges and universities nationwide. Grayson Chrisley remarked that Kirk’s death was “not just a political assassination, but a religious one as well.”
The aftermath of Kirk's murder has sparked intense national political discourse. Some attribute the tragedy to escalating gun violence, while others point fingers at the divisive political climate that Kirk often confronted. Grayson added, “The left was scared of Trump. They were scared that he was making too much sense and that he was spreading God’s word, and by doing so, he would stop their agenda.”
Both Savannah and Grayson, vocal supporters of President Donald Trump, who pardoned their parents earlier this year, addressed the crowd with conviction. “Charlie Kirk was a spark, but we’re all going to be the fire,” Grayson stated, emphasizing the need for unity among conservative voices. Savannah expressed pride in her brother for joining her on stage, urging the audience to “never stop fighting for America.”
“We will not be silenced,” Savannah asserted. “We will not back down...We love this country. We love faith, we love freedom, and we are not afraid to say it. Together, we’re going to make America strong again. We’ll make America free again. And yes, we will make America great again.” Such statements reflect the Chrisley siblings' commitment to their values and their determination to inspire others to do the same.
In 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley faced legal challenges, being found guilty of a total of 10 charges. Prosecutors alleged that they fraudulently obtained $36 million in bank loans and concealed millions of dollars in income from their reality show to evade federal taxes. Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Julie received a 7-year sentence, both ordered to pay $17.2 million in restitution. In May, Trump announced his intention to pardon them, stating that the couple had received “harsh treatment” based on their public profile and conservative beliefs.
As the Chrisley siblings continue to navigate the complexities of their family's public life, their recent appearance at the remembrance rally underscores their commitment to advocating for conservative values amid a turbulent political landscape.
