My sadness has been overcome with anger.





John,



Charlie Kirk had an infectious spirit. The energy he brought to every event
was off the charts. He was a force for good, with a beautiful wife and young
kids. He was just 31.And now he's gone.



I joined Jesse Watters on Fox News to talk about Charlie’s legacy, and here’s
what I told him:My sadness at hearing the news has been overcome with anger.
<[link removed]>Charlie was
assassinated—murdered for political purposes—because he dared to bring truth to
hostile ground. He didn’t play it safe in a red district. He went where the
fight was hottest—college campuses. And he didn’t back down.



He told students: “Ask me tough questions. I’ll be respectful and civil—but
I’m going to tell you what I believe.” That took guts. That’s leadership.
That’s what this country needs more of.



Now we face a wound that strikes at the heart of the Republic. If we cannot
disagree safely, we cannot be free. Republican government cannot endure where
violence replaces debate.



This didn't come out of nowhere. The intolerance on campuses has been
building for years. We’ve seen it—speakers shouted down, students attacked. But
this? This was a sniper. This was the most extreme we’ve ever seen. And it
demands consequences.



Charlie left a legacy—but he also left a challenge. Charlie knew he was going
into the lion’s den. He probably got threats almost every time he went. But he
went anyway.



Now it’s our turn to defend the right to speak. To disagree. To have the
courage to stand for our principles. That’s how we honor him.



Thank you,



Gov. Ron DeSantis
