A shocking attack on free speech happened Wednesday at Utah Valley University. Conservative hero Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking to thousands of patriotic Americans at his American Comeback Tour event. This is exactly what happens when the radical left creates a climate of hate against anyone who dares to stand up for traditional values.
Kirk was delivering his powerful message when gunshots rang out across the campus. Video shows the brave Turning Point USA founder grabbing his neck as chaos erupted around him. Witnesses say they saw Kirk go limp after being struck by the bullet.
This attack represents everything wrong with America today. The violent left cannot stand to hear conservative voices speaking truth to power. They would rather silence us with bullets than debate us with facts and logic.
Thousands of students were there to hear Kirk’s inspiring message about making America great again. Instead they witnessed the kind of political terrorism that Democrats refuse to condemn. Where is the outrage from the mainstream media about this obvious attack on conservative Americans?
Utah Senator Mike Lee immediately called for prayers for Kirk and the students who witnessed this horror. Real leaders like Lee understand that political violence has no place in our great nation. Meanwhile, the silence from liberal politicians speaks volumes about their true priorities.
Security at the event was completely inadequate for such a high-profile conservative speaker. There were no metal detectors despite Kirk being a frequent target of leftist hate. This failure put innocent students and patriotic Americans at serious risk.
The shooting comes during a dangerous time when radical activists are targeting conservatives across the country. From assassination attempts on President Trump to firebombing attacks on anyone who supports traditional values, the left has declared war on half of America. This cannot continue without serious consequences.
Charlie Kirk has spent years fighting to educate young Americans about the principles that made our country great. Now he lies wounded for the crime of believing in freedom and conservative values. Every patriotic American should be outraged by this cowardly attack on one of our movement’s brightest stars.
