Fox News host Benny Johnson has described how the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk supported him after his Washington, D.C., home was damaged by an arson attack. Speaking on Sean Hannity's podcast, Johnson said Kirk offered him and his newborn child a place to stay at a condo in Sarasota, Florida, allowing him to keep his family safe during the crisis. The anecdote formed part of a wider conversation reflecting on Kirk's character and legacy.

Johnson recounted the fire damage to his home on 19th Street in Washington and said Kirk's offer of refuge came at a critical moment for his family. He said the gesture reflected how Kirk behaved privately, away from public attention, and used the story to illustrate Kirk's personal generosity as part of a broader discussion of fatherhood, family and American politics on Hannity's show.
