Q & A

“If everything completely goes away, how do you want to be remembered?”

“I want to be remembered for courage, for my faith. … The most important thing is my faith.” —Charlie Kirk

Braying Jenny

“I literally have never said anything to invoke violence. And I challenge somebody to go and find a clip of a Democrat invoking violence.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett

“The vast majority of these shootings, whether they are seen as political or not, if we look at the numbers — white supremacy ideology. … We have a white supremacy problem in this country.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Righteous Anger

“The evildoers responsible for my husband’s assassination have no idea what they have done. … If you thought that my husband’s mission was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you have just unleashed across this entire country and this world. … No one will ever forget my husband’s name, and I will make sure of it.” —Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie

Upright

“One of Charlie’s favorite Bible verses was Ephesians 5:25: ‘Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church, and gave himself up for her.’ My husband laid down his life for me, for our nation, for our children. He showed the ultimate and true covenantal love.” —Erika Kirk

The Long and Short of It

“This is certainly about the tragic death, assassination, political assassination, of Charlie Kirk. But it is also much bigger than an attack on an individual. It is an attack on all of us. It is an attack on the American experiment. It is an attack on our ideals. This cuts to the very foundation of who we are, of who we have been, and who we could be in better times.” —Utah Governor Spencer Cox

Good Advice

“Social media is a cancer on our society right now, and I would … encourage people to log off, turn off, touch grass, hug a family member, go out and do good in your community.” —Spencer Cox

Re: Mourning

“The reason you feel Charlie’s death so deeply is because grief doesn’t measure itself by proximity. It measures itself by meaning. You didn’t have to know him personally to feel the sting of his absence, because when a voice like his goes silent, something in the atmosphere shifts.” —Chad Prather

Re: The Left

“Let’s be clear here, the murder of Charlie Kirk is not an aberration, no more than the near murder of President Trump was. Violence is not an aberration, it’s at the heart of what the Left is. The Left is a terrorist movement. Period. When the Left is in power, then it kills people legally, and when it’s out of power, it strives to take power by killing people ‘illegally’. We are up against people who want to kill us. Not just Trump or Charlie Kirk. All of us who defy them.” —Daniel Greenfield

“The problem is on the Left. It’s not on the Right, like some people say. The problem we have is on the Left.” —President Donald Trump

And Last

“There won’t be a new Charlie, any more than there was a new Rush Limbaugh. These men are irreplaceable. One of a kind. All we can do is continue the fight in our own way.” —Matt Walsh
