Last week America lost a true patriot when radical leftist Tyler Robinson gunned down Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. This wasn’t just another campus shooting. This was a targeted assassination of one of our most effective conservative voices by someone consumed with hate for traditional American values.
Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, had been obsessing over Kirk for months according to the FBI. He tracked Kirk’s speaking events online and studied the campus layout before carrying out his deadly plan. The killer climbed to a rooftop and shot down at Kirk like a coward during what should have been a peaceful campus event.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox made it clear that Robinson was driven by leftist ideology. Friends and family say Robinson had been radicalized in the dark corners of the internet where anti-American hatred festers. His transgender partner shows exactly what kind of twisted worldview motivated this attack on Kirk, who stood firm for biological reality and traditional family values.
The response from the left has been absolutely disgusting. MSNBC fired analyst Matthew Dowd for his vile comments celebrating Kirk’s death. Teachers across the country made sick jokes about a murdered father of two. This shows the true face of today’s radical left movement that hates anyone who dares speak the truth.
Kirk’s widow Erika has shown incredible strength in promising to continue her husband’s mission. She refuses to let the movement die that her husband built to save America’s youth from leftist brainwashing. Vice President JD Vance himself accompanied Kirk’s casket home on Air Force Two, showing the respect this great American deserved.
The memorial services have been powerful reminders of what we’re fighting for. Thousands gathered at the Kennedy Center in Washington and Dream City Church in Phoenix to honor Kirk’s legacy. American flags and flowers covered the makeshift memorial at the university where he was killed.
President Trump will posthumously award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a massive memorial service September 21st. This honor recognizes Kirk’s tireless work defending conservative principles on college campuses across America. He never backed down from confronting the radical professors and students trying to destroy our country from within.
Conservative leaders like Luke Livingston are calling on young Americans to be bold and courageous just like Charlie Kirk was. We cannot let this assassination silence the conservative movement or intimidate other patriots from speaking truth. Kirk died fighting for the future of America, and we must carry that fight forward with even greater determination than before.
