A true American patriot was gunned down in cold blood this week, and every freedom-loving citizen should be outraged. Charlie Kirk, the brave 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated while simply trying to educate young Americans about conservative values. This was not just murder – this was an attack on everything we stand for as conservatives.
Kirk was speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10th as part of his American Comeback Tour when a coward with a gun ended his life. He was sitting at his famous “Prove Me Wrong” table, doing what he did best – engaging with students and defending our Constitution. Instead of having a civil debate, some lunatic decided to silence him forever.
For over a decade, Kirk built Turning Point USA into the largest conservative youth movement in America. He reached over 3,500 campuses and inspired more than 250,000 young patriots to fight for free markets and limited government. The left hated him because he was so effective at waking up our youth to the truth about socialism and big government.
This assassination shows just how desperate and violent the radical left has become. They cannot win debates with facts and logic, so they resort to bullets and bloodshed. Kirk was only 31 years old with his whole life ahead of him, but some domestic terrorist decided to play judge, jury, and executioner.
Dr. Drew Pinsky got it exactly right when he said anyone celebrating this killing needs to look in the mirror. The sick freaks on social media cheering Kirk’s death are showing their true colors. These are the same people who claim to be peaceful while supporting the murder of conservatives.
The manhunt for Kirk’s killer continues, but the damage is already done. We have lost one of our most powerful voices for freedom and constitutional rights. Kirk appeared on Fox News over a thousand times and wrote bestselling books that educated millions of Americans about conservative principles.
This attack was not random – it was a targeted assassination of a conservative leader. Kirk was making too much progress turning young people away from leftist brainwashing on college campuses. The establishment could not allow him to keep exposing their lies and propaganda.
We must honor Charlie Kirk’s memory by continuing his fight for America. Every patriot needs to stand up now more than ever and defend our values before more conservatives are silenced by violence. Kirk died doing what he loved – fighting for the America our founders envisioned.
