If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
What the hell do we do now? Where do we go from here? What happens next? Who is supposed to pick up the microphone?
No one will ever be able to fill Charlie’s shoes. No one.
But I can’t think of anything that would fill his heart and make him prouder than the generation he inspired to pick up the torch and carry it forward. To continue this mission he gave his life for to speak the truth and to fight against evil, to fill the hearts of the world with courage and the love of God.
This is the Turning Point of our time. I don’t even know if Charlie intended for that name to pack such a punch, and maybe it seems even more important now, but amid the expected and disgusting hate comments in the wake of Charlie’s death, I am floored and inspired all over again by the thousands of posts I’ve seen from our generation saying that this is their personal awakening to get in the arena, to be on the frontlines of this culture war, and to speak out in courage no matter what the backlash that comes next might look like.
And I guess that’s the answer. Who picks up the microphone from here? Who keeps speaking the truth when the world needs it the most? Who keeps pushing back against evil?
YOU. You do. We do.
Charlie always believed this - that anyone from anywhere can inspire the world if they just have the courage to do it.
I have to believe that Charlie lit the spark that will spark a wildfire in this movement.
A movement not just to fix our political system or revive the American Dream, but so much bigger. To change culture. To seek and speak truth. To love God authentically and share that love with the world. To transform humanity as Salt and Light through every action we take.
For you, Charlie.

BREAKING 🚨 The FBI is now offering a $100,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of the individual that k*lled Charlie Kirk
Call 1-800-CALL-FBI if you know anything
We have to find this monster
Reports saying the shooter used a Mauser 30.06 rifle. One spent round in the chamber, with engraved ideological anti-fascist phrases on the shell casings.
FIND. THIS. BASTARD. NOW.
You can kill a man.
For we are all mortal.
But you can never kill his Love of his Savior Jesus Christ, his love of our great Nation, the United States of America, and his love of Freedom, Truth and his undying love, confidence and belief in the young people of America.
And you can never kill his message.
America is, and always will be,
the beacon of Freedom the world over.
Charlie Kirk was our modern day Founding Father. And he helped save our country from slipping further into Godlessness, censorship, cultural falsehoods, loss of common sense, common decency and authoritarian communism.
Above all, Charlie Kirk was noble. He was a decent God fearing man. And he ultimately gave his life for the people and the country that he loved so dearly.
All of us who truly love our country will continue to serve, honor and protect the Freedoms that were earned through blood so that we American citizens and our children may always live and breath in a Free society.
Today,
Let us all pledge our allegiance again as I know Charlie would want, to this great land and continue his love of God, Family and Country.
I pledge allegiance to the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All.
May Jesus Christ hold Charlie Kirk in his arms tonight and comfort his loved ones left behind. I pray for peace at this time for all Americans and for all
of God’s children everywhere.
God Bless you all.
Love,
Rob Schneider
All that Charlie ever did was have conversations with people. He didn’t insult anyone. He made arguments. He debated. He wasn’t an extremist in any way. Everyone who knew Charlie personally loved him. That’s the kind of guy he was. And they still killed him. I am furious and heartbroken in equal measure. I cannot put into words how I feel. Maybe that is for the best.
Charlie Kirk just announced dead by POTUS from today’s shooting.
Prayers for his wife and kids he now leaves behind. 🙏
Whether you disagreed with him or not politically, he didn’t deserve this.
Florida's polls closed 37 minutes ago and they already have 73% of the vote counted.
This is what happens when you have highly competent executive leadership like you get with DeSantis
