Charlie Kirk’s assassin:
-Had a trans boyfriend
-Called Charlie a “fascist”
-Confirmed leftist by friends and family
-Confirmed leftist by top officials on the record, including the governor
-Killed one of the most iconic conservatives in the country
And yet leftists will still claim he’s right wing. These people have no shame, no integrity, no honor. Vile and repugnant to their core.
I remain devastated by the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I only met him once, years ago, but we have many mutual friends, and I have watched him from afar build Turning Point USA into the organization it is today. I followed along primarily through my youngest child who would show me videos of Charlie debating on college campuses. My oldest had just purchased her ticket to see Charlie on her college campus the day before he was killed. I saw the impact he was having on their generation, a generation in dire need of positive role models, mentors, and heroes.
Over the past few days I have spent a lot of time getting to know Charlie through his social posts and interviews. I have watched as vigils for Charlie have sprung up across the country and the world, including on college campuses, the places Charlie debated openly in the marketplace of ideas. If you value truth, you must value free speech. Those vigils give me hope.
In the wake of Charlie’s assassination, people are buying Bibles, returning to the church, sharing Charlie’s message across social channels and donating in unprecedented numbers to Turning Point USA. Charlie’s death has energized a generation.
I have also seen the hateful celebrations of Charlie’s death. I will be praying hard for those finding joy in his assassination, celebrating the ultimate act of intolerance. I would encourage anyone whose opinion of Charlie was shaped by a negative headline or algorithm to follow @charliekirk11@MrsErikaKirk and @TPUSA – listen and form your opinion for yourself - don’t let it be formed for you by an algorithm.
In an interview this past June, when asked about how he would like to be remembered, Charlie said, “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing; most important thing is my faith.”
Charlie’s murderer did more than kill a young father and husband or silence a voice of reason open to debate…he gave Charlie immortality.
My prayers for Charlie’s family and our nation continue.
