Charlie Kirk was a titan, a game-changer, and a hero to many. Truly, whether you loved him, or hated him, if you met Charlie, you couldn’t help but like him. He was a God-fearing Christian, a patriot, and a loyal family man who lived his faith every single day. I was proud to call him a friend.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk still hasn’t set in for many of us. It was so senseless, and it hurts that a man with strong Christian, traditional values, who encouraged open political debate was killed simply because an evil person disagreed with him.
Someone tried to silence Charlie, and all they did was make him a martyr. That voice will not be silenced; and it’s on the rest of us to carry his message of God, Family, and Country.
Earlier today, law enforcement in Utah announced they have apprehended the suspected assassin. I am grateful for the local, state, and federal law enforcement partnerships that led to the successful and timely arrest of Charlie Kirk's suspected killer. As my friend, FBI Director Kash Patel said at the press conference, "this is what happens when we let good cops be cops." I pray that all who loved Charlie find peace in his memory, and that justice will be served.
Everyone who is old enough to remember knows exactly where they were on that fateful morning of September 11th, 2001. 9/11 will forever be ingrained in the hearts and memories of Americans. We honor those whose lives were taken 24 years ago and all the first responders who put their lives on the line to save others. We will never forget.
