REPORT: Amazon comments on book about assassination of Charlie Kirk with publication date ahead of murder

6

From Breitbart: A book titled The Shooting of Charlie Kirk was posted for sale on Amazon with an apparent publish date of September 9, 2025 — one day before the Turning Point USA founder was assassinated — which the e-commerce giant blamed on “a technical issue” causing the wrong date of publication. The Company later removed the book for not adhering to “content guidelines.

Screenshots of the book for sale on Amazon circulated on social media after Kirk was fatally shot during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday in an apparent political assassination. Users were quick to point out that the Amazon listing showed a publication date of Tuesday, September 9, the day before Kirk’s assassination.

An Amazon spokesperson told Breitbart News that the publication date was listed wrong due to a glitch. “Due to a technical issue, the date of publication that had been displayed for this title, while it was briefly listed, was incorrect, and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused,” the spokesperson added, explaining, “The title was published late in the afternoon on September 10th.”


Breitbart notes that the book was likely “AI slop” that should have never been listed on Amazon in the first place.

The listing for the book has now been removed from Amazon’s website.
