Footage from Kirk’s final event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday shows him bantering with a member of the Mormon faith in the crowd, referring to him as the “guy in the shirt and tie at the front here,” before going on to speak of his love for the church.

Charlie Kirk stated, “I love how Mormons send missionaries around the world, I love how polite they are,” moments before Tyler Robinson fired the fatal shot.

“I love how Mormons send missionaries around the world, I love how polite they are. … Half my team is Mormon,” he said, to huge cheers from the Utah crowd.

“Mormons are great people. Let me just say, I’m an evangelical Christian, but I’m not one of those guys that hates on Mormons,” he added.

Kirk’s words came just minutes before he was shot and killed — allegedly by Robinson, whose neighbor said he attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in St. George, Utah.

“He went to our church when he was younger,” a neighbor told The Post.

Kirk’s grandmother told the Daily Mail she was confused over the vicious slaying — because her grandson never spoke about politics.

“My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump,” she told the outlet.

“[Tyler] is the shyest person,” she added. “He has never, ever spoke politics to me at all.”

“Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat. I’m just so confused.”
