A tragic day in American history. Charlie Kirk, who launched one of the largest political movements of our time, was assassinated by a sick and deranged individual. While details continue to emerge, this appears to be the result of political violence fueled by the Left’s reckless rhetoric. From the mainstream media to radical activists, the climate they’ve created has led to tragedy. America must wake up.

“Charlie believed in open dialogue. He put himself in the public eye to share his beliefs with millions, knowing conversation was the path forward,” said Chairman Evan Power. “Through his podcasts, Q&As, and conventions, he educated and inspired a whole generation. His impact on this nation is undeniable.”

“Charlie Kirk was a man of deep faith who openly shared his love of Jesus and spoke truth to millions of young minds. We grieve because this world still needs voices like his, but we also know his legacy and this movement will not stop — it will only grow stronger,” said Power.

Our prayers are with the Kirk family, Turning Point, and all who loved him. Our hearts are broken. There was nobody like Charlie, but his movement will continue — fearlessly — because that is exactly what he would have wanted.

This country must come together in peace, reject political violence, and recognize where dangerous rhetoric has brought us. We must do better. We will do better.
