A viral post linked Justin Jefferson to Charlie Kirk
On September 11, Charles Curtis of USA TODAY reported that there was a social media post that had gone viral on multiple platforms involving Justin Jefferson and Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in Utah. It said that Jefferson "immediately stepped in, pledging to pay all living and educational expenses for Kirk's two children." Curtis further mentioned—"Is that true? Did Jefferson really do that?
