In recent days we have learned just how many Americans in positions of authority—child services, law clerks, hospital nurses, teachers, gov’t workers, even DOD employees—have been deeply and violently radicalized. The consequence of a vast, organized ecosystem of indoctrination.
I have had the honor of knowing Charlie Kirk well and personally for many years now. I cannot express how incredibly proud I have been of his faithful Christian witness and the way he has honored the Lord Jesus Christ with his life. Charlie was known as an intellectual giant, a very compassionate young man, and one who was tirelessly devoted to this nation’s welfare and our glorious republic. I am humbled and blessed to have played a small role in Charlie’s discipleship, and I know nothing was more important to Charlie than knowing Jesus Christ.
Whenever Charlie debated anyone, no matter how mean, ugly, or abusive they were to him, Charlie always shared the gospel of Jesus Christ, the doctrine of the Cross, and the Hope of eternal life for anyone who would turn to Him in faith.
Charlie has now finished his race, his earthly course, and we celebrate his glorious graduation into the presence of Jesus Christ. It is now up to us to carry on the love, the defense and the courage that Charlie had in proclaiming Christ in America - his glowing vision that our nation would soon honor God and be great in His eyes by turning back to Him in all things.
We will see Charlie soon in the everlasting Kingdom of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Awaiting His Return,
Pastor Jack Hibbs
Our hearts are shattered. America has lost one of its greatest champions. A loving family has lost the most extraordinary husband and father. All of us must now dedicate ourselves to defeating the evil that stole Charlie from this world.
CHARLIE KIRK
This is difficult to even write: we lost an extraordinary human-being and patriot today, who was murdered by an assassin's bullet. But Charlie's legacy will never, ever be silence. He touched and influenced not a few or a few thousand, but hundreds of thousands.
I knew Charlie well over many years. We were together during Salem radio KRLA events in LA, I had him on TV and radio, I attended a few of his TPUSA events, he was a fan of my books, etc. He was a delight. Always curious. Happy. Joyous. Social. Articulate. Brilliant. Strategic. And much more. Charlie and I would text from time to time about all things. When we had a disagreement, which was very rare, he always circled back and wanted to make sure we were all good. Of course, we always were. Charlie was always civil and kind. He even thanked me for doing things for him that, in my mind, were no big deal and most of which I did not recall, but to Charlie it deserved a mention.
I must confess. I am not only deeply sad but angry as hell. A political assassin, a coward, murdered my friend, our friend, a national treasure. He also attacked our republic, our civil liberties, our humanity, and I am furious. President Trump was nearly murdered by an assassin. Not once but twice. Damn it! I am pissed off!
I know we all feel truly sick about this. My wife, Julie, who interacted with Charlie even more than I, and I are devastated like all of you. This is a dark and grave day. I cannot imagine the grief his wife and children and all his family, and his TPUSA family, are experiencing. God bless them, help them, and protect them. And to all who admire Charlie, especially the young people in our high schools, colleges, and beyond, continue to follow in his footsteps. That's the greatest honor you can show him, and we need your help to save our country. Learn from the life he lived, as short as it was. It was extraordinary.
