"I have talked more about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than I have the rest of my entire time in public life. And that is an undeniable legacy of the great Charlie Kirk."

People see Charlie Kirk as this vicious political figure, but I knew him.
He was unbelievably well read on Christian and conservative philosophy and he actually lived by those values in his personal life. He had two beautiful children.
I don’t see a divisive political figure I see a human being who didn’t deserve this at all.
My friend Charlie Kirk was the best of America. A self-made man, a young husband and father, and a patriot, he was relentlessly positive about the future. He dedicated his life to making a difference with young people, drawing huge crowds everywhere he went. He was open to ideas and willing to debate anyone. That good-natured openness is what got him killed by an intolerant lunatic. Charlie was winning the debate, and for that, he had to be silenced, permanently. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Erika and his family.
With deep pain and sorrow, we mourn the passing of Charlie Kirk. May he rest in peace, and may God welcome him into His eternal care. This is a profound loss for the world—Charlie was a truly blessed soul whose impact will never be forgotten💔
Charlie Kirk has passed away.
He was shot for simply working to bring Gen-Z back to God.
The world has lost an incredible father, husband, and inspiration for America.
This is a very dark day for America.
The Left's violence must be stopped.
Pray for his beautiful family.
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.
I don't any words right now & I probably won't for a long time. Lord be with his family, TPUSA staff, all who knew him, and all who admired him.
No one loved this nation, God, or the truth more than Charlie.
I’m totally devastated. Charlie was a friend and a very good man. I always worried that it would come to this eventually. I never thought it would be Charlie. He will be dearly missed. I’m praying for his family.
Charlie Kirk touched the lives of countless people across America, and the movement he started changed our country for the better. I am devastated by his passing, and words fail to describe how much of a loss this is for our nation. We mourn with his family, and we pray for justice to be served.
