America lost a true patriot this week when Charlie Kirk was gunned down by a coward with a rifle. The founder of Turning Point USA was speaking to college students at Utah Valley University when an assassin fired a single shot from 200 yards away. Charlie died doing what he loved most – inspiring young Americans to love their country.
President Trump called Charlie “great and legendary” and said no one understood America’s youth better. Charlie had tears in his eyes the night Trump won the election, but he gave all the credit to God. That tells you everything about the kind of man Charlie Kirk was.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard remembered Charlie on Jesse Watters Primetime as one of the most brave and courageous Americans she knew. She said Charlie lived what he preached every single day. His faith in God and love for America guided everything he did.
The FBI is hunting for the killer who tried to silence Charlie’s voice forever. They found the high-powered rifle and have photos of a person of interest. There is a $100,000 reward for information that leads to catching this monster.
This was not just an attack on Charlie Kirk – it was an attack on all of us who love America. The left has spent years calling conservatives dangerous while their own radicals commit actual violence. They wanted to shut up one of our best young leaders.
Charlie leaves behind his beautiful wife Erica and their children. Tulsi Gabbard talked about their love story and how their marriage was centered on God. Erica called Charlie “the one” and said marrying him was her dream come true.
The killer thought he could stop our movement by murdering Charlie. But as President Trump said, the assassin failed in his mission. Charlie’s voice will live on and inspire countless Americans for generations to come.
Charlie Kirk proved that young conservatives can change the world when they stand up for what is right. His legacy will keep growing because real patriots never give up the fight for freedom.
