Another patriotic American has been gunned down by the radical left. Charlie Kirk, the brilliant 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was murdered in cold blood Wednesday at Utah Valley University. A coward with a rifle shot this hero in the neck while he was speaking to 3,000 students about freedom and America.
This was no random act of violence. Utah Governor Spencer Cox got it exactly right when he called this a political assassination. The killer fired a single shot from 200 meters away and is still on the run like the terrorist he is.
Charlie Kirk spent his life fighting for young Americans and conservative values. He helped President Trump connect with millions of young voters who love this country. Now the left has silenced one of our brightest voices forever.
President Trump struck back hard Wednesday night with a powerful promise. He vowed to hunt down everyone who contributed to this murder and the organizations that fund leftist violence. The President made it clear that this reign of terror against conservatives ends now.
Trump called Kirk a martyr for truth and blamed the radical left’s hateful rhetoric. For years, Democrats have called patriots like Charlie nazis and compared them to mass murderers. This poisonous language leads directly to violence and death.
The assassination happened during Kirk’s famous “Prove Me Wrong” event where he debated students. He was actually answering questions about mass shootings when the bullet struck. The killer tried to silence free speech with murder.
This is what happens when the left controls the media and schools. They fill young minds with hatred against anyone who loves America. Now that hatred has turned deadly and taken the life of a true patriot.
Charlie Kirk died defending the values that built this nation. His voice will live on through every young conservative he inspired. Americans must stand together now and fight back against this leftist violence before they kill again.
