To my great fellow Americans, I am
filled with grief and anger at the
heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on
a college campus in Utah. Charlie
inspired millions. And tonight, all who
knew him and loved him are united in
shock and horror. Charlie was a patriot
who devoted his life to the cause of
open debate and the country that he
loved so much, the United States of
America. He fought for liberty,
democracy, justice, and the American
people. He's a martyr for truth and
freedom. And there has never been anyone
who was so respected by youth.
Charlie was also a man of deep, deep
faith. And we take comfort in the
knowledge that he is now at peace with
God in heaven. Our prayers are with his
wife Erica, the two young beloved
children, and his entire family who he
loved more than anything in the world.
We ask God to watch over them in this
terrible hour of heartache and pain.
This is a dark moment for America.
Charlie Kirk traveled the nation
joyfully engaging with everyone
interested in good faith debate. His
mission was to bring young people into
the political process, which he did
better than anybody ever, to share his
love of country and to spread the simple
words of common sense. On campuses
nationwide, he championed his ideas with
courage, logic, humor, and grace. It's
long past time for all Americans and the
media to confront the fact that violence
and murder are the tragic consequence of
demonizing those with whom you disagree
day after day, year after year in the
most hateful and despicable way
possible. For years, those on the
radical left have compared wonderful
Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the
world's worst mass murderers and
criminals. This kind of rhetoric is
directly responsible for the terrorism
that we're seeing in our country today,
and it must stop right now.
My administration will find each and
every one of those who contributed to
this atrocity and to other political
violence, including the organizations
that fund it and support it, as well as
those who go after our judges, law
enforcement officials, and everyone else
who brings order to our country. From
the attack on my life in Butler,
Pennsylvania last year, which killed a
husband and father, to the attacks on
ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a
healthc care executive in the streets of
New York, to the shooting of House
Majority Leader Steve Scaliz and three
others. Radical left political violence
has hurt too many innocent people and
taken too many lives. Tonight, I ask all
Americans to commit themselves to the
American values for which Charlie Kirk
lived and died. The values of free
speech, citizenship, the rule of law,
and the patriotic devotion and love of
God. Charlie was the best of America,
and the monster who attacked him was
attacking our whole country. An assassin
tried to silence him with a bullet, but
he failed. because together we will
ensure that his voice, his message, and
his legacy will live on for countless
generations to come. Today, because of
this heinous act, Charlie's voice has
become bigger and grander than ever before,
before,
and it's not even close. May God bless
his memory. May God watch over his
family, and may God bless the United
