The BIG Lies

“Charlie Kirk assassin has been identified as MAGA.” —Rep. Dave Min

“The right-winger who didn’t want Charlie Kirk to speak did what right-wingers do and shot him.” —American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten

Non Compos Mentis

“One of the things I do want to point out … that honestly hurts my heart is when I saw the ‘No’ votes, there were only two Caucasians. For the most part the only people that voted ‘No’ were people of color.” —Rep. Jasmine Crockett regarding the resolution honoring Charlie Kirk

For the Record

“You look at every ounce of evidence that we have, and it is clear: [Tyler Robinson] is a person who grew up in a pretty normal family, actually had a pretty good home life, who was radicalized by the far Left, by the social networks of the far Left, by the ideas of the far Left, and got so far down the path of radicalization that he killed my friend. That is not a ‘both sides’ problem.” —JD Vance

“[Charlie Kirk] was killed because his words made a difference. Because he was showing people the light and he was killed by the dark.” —Elon Musk

Upright

“Charlie waged war not with a weapon, but with a tent, a microphone, his mind, and the truth. And the gates of hell could not prevail against him.” —Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

“We are the ones who build. We are the ones who create. We are the ones who lift up humanity. You thought you could kill Charlie Kirk? You have made him immortal. … And now millions will carry on his legacy.” —White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller

“My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life. … On the cross, our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ That man, that young man — I forgive him.” —Erika Kirk

“The more I learned about him, I thought, ‘This guy’s a modern-day Saint Paul.’ He was a missionary … an evangelist … a hero. He’s one I think that knew what Jesus meant when he said, ‘The truth will set you free.’ … The difference is the way, the mode, the style that he [debated] — always with respect. And not only was that a gracious kind of virtuous thing to do, it’s effective.” —Archbishop of New York Timothy Dolan

“Charlie right now is in heaven not because he was a great husband and father, not because he saved millions of kids out of darkness on college campuses, not because he changed minds and chased votes to save the country, not because he sacrificed himself for his Savior. Charlie Kirk is in heaven because his Savior sacrificed Himself for Charlie Kirk.” —apologist Frank Turek

“[Charlie’s] deep belief [was] that we were all created, every single one of us, before the beginning of time, by the hands of the God of the universe. An all-powerful God who loved us and created us for the purpose of living with him in eternity. … And when [Jesus] returns, there will be a new heaven and a new earth, and we will all be together, and we are going to have a great reunion there again with Charlie and all the people we love.” —Secretary of State Marco Rubio

Winds of Revival

“I always felt a little uncomfortable talking about talking about my faith in public. … I have talked more about Jesus Christ in the past two weeks than I have my entire time in public life — and that is an undeniable legacy of the great Charlie Kirk.” —JD Vance

“It is better to be persecuted for your faith than to deny the kingship of Christ.” —JD Vance

And Last…

“The Christian citizen forgives so that the murderer is no longer a private enemy; the state punishes because the murderer is still a public enemy.” —constitutional law professor Adrian Vermeule
