Charlie Kirk is dead. The young conservative leader who built Turning Point USA from nothing was gunned down Wednesday at Utah Valley University. A single shot to the neck ended the life of a true American patriot who spent years fighting for our values on hostile college campuses across the nation.
This was not just a random act of violence. This was a targeted assassination of one of our most effective conservative voices. Kirk traveled the country debating leftists and winning hearts and minds for the conservative cause. Now he is gone because someone could not handle the truth he was speaking.
The left has blood on their hands. For years they have called us fascists and threats to democracy. They have demonized every conservative voice and painted us as enemies of the state. Their hateful rhetoric has consequences and Charlie Kirk paid the ultimate price for their lies.
Where was the security at this event. A conservative speaker on a college campus should have been protected. But there was no screening and no real protection for a man who received death threats regularly. This is what happens when we do not take the safety of our leaders seriously.
President Trump was right to order flags at half staff. Charlie Kirk was a hero who died defending our constitutional rights. He started Turning Point USA as a teenager and built it into a powerful force for conservative values. His legacy will inspire young Americans for generations to come.
The mainstream media will try to ignore this story or blame it on mental illness. They do not want to admit that their constant attacks on conservatives have created a climate of violence. They would rather pretend this never happened than face the truth about their role in this tragedy.
We cannot let them silence us through fear and violence. Charlie Kirk would want us to keep fighting for the America he loved. Every time we speak up for conservative values we honor his memory and continue his mission to save this great nation.
The suspect has been arrested but the damage is done. Another conservative voice has been silenced forever by a coward with a gun. We must demand justice for Charlie Kirk and protection for all Americans who dare to speak conservative truth in this hostile political climate.
