Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.
I sincerely hope when Trump speaks he preaches that violence is for cowards and to bang home how unacceptable violence is on either side of the aisle. Take the temperature in this country down. It would be the most presidential thing anybody had done in a long time.
@Andy For Lindsay- Seeing how much support you had from the girls in the house this season, do you regret not trying to have a friendship with them earlier? And do you have any regrets for the way you’ve talked to/treated them in the past?

I have had cancer. My mom died of cancer. I have seen so much loss and sadness. But also progress. And this news is incredible and mind blowing and life changing and absolutely monumental. #fuckcancer https://t.co/PhHyYN1z1W
