Today’s act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.
We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy.
I condemn in the strongest possible terms the attack on Charlie Kirk this afternoon at Utah Valley University. As I have said in the past and as I will continue to say: Political violence is never acceptable. Ever.
The First Lady and I are praying for him and his family at this time.
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.
I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family.
Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.
Charlie Kirk was shot today during a campus event in Utah. Regardless of politics, violence has no place in our democracy. We must protect the freedom to debate, question, & disagree—without fear for our lives.
The attack on Charlie Kirk is appalling and unacceptable. Political violence has no place in a free society. No one should have to experience nor witness such trauma.
My thoughts are with Charlie and his family.
