Charlie Kirk reminded us that a life of courage and virtue isn’t easy—but it’s worth living. His example should inspire us all to stand boldly for what’s right.
Charlie Kirk, husband, father, friend, American, has been assassinated. His spirit, passion and message will live on. Prayers for his soul and his wife and children.
“When discourse ends, violence begins.”
- Charlie Kirk
All he wanted to do is talk to you people, and you fucking shot him for it.
I feel sick seeing what this country has become.
GUN VIOLENCE HITS CONSERVATIVES?
"I can't believe in 2025. I'm sitting here talking about Charlie Kirk being gunned down because he loved America," — Steve Gruber
Gruber warns anyone who speaks out could be next.

WATCH: Former U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who was at the Kirk event, says he wants America to know that the last thing Charlie talked about was love and Jesus Christ.
Chaffetz was visibly broken...but said this was too important not to share.
“I want his wife and the country to know that the last question he took, the last thing he talked about to people in Utah—thousands of people that wanted to come hear him—is that his message was one of the love, of Jesus Christ, of his belief in prayer.”
“And he talked about that from his heart.”
“And you can feel it.”
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.
This doesn’t feel real. None of this feels real. We’re losing our humanity. Horrified to see people farm this/ cheer for this. You have no idea what kind of culture you’re helping perpetuate. Circus elephants, all of you, dancing for peanuts.
Rest in Peace Charlie Kirk 🤍
We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
RIP Charlie Kirk. It doesn’t matter what your opinion is of Charlie or his politics if you don’t view this as one of the darkest days in American history than you are part of the problem.
