America lost a true patriot this week when Charlie Kirk was gunned down by a coward. The 31-year-old conservative hero was doing what he did best – speaking truth to power on a college campus. He was assassinated while defending American values at Utah Valley University.

Vice President JD Vance did exactly what a real leader should do. He dropped everything to honor a fallen warrior for freedom. Vance personally escorted Charlie’s casket home to Arizona on Air Force Two, showing the respect this patriot deserved.

The left-wing media won’t tell you this, but Charlie Kirk was changing minds across America. His Turning Point USA reached millions of young Americans with conservative truth. That’s exactly why the radical left wanted him silenced forever.

While Vance was honoring a hero, where were the Democrats? They were probably celebrating behind closed doors. Charlie Kirk scared them because he was winning the culture war one campus at a time.

The FBI is still hunting for the shooter, but don’t hold your breath. They spent years going after Trump supporters instead of real criminals. Now they suddenly care about finding the truth when it’s too late.

Charlie’s widow Erika stood strong as she flew home with her husband’s body. She represents the strength of conservative women who stand by their men. Vance’s wife Usha was right there supporting her through this nightmare.

President Trump will attend the funeral because he knows what real loyalty looks like. Unlike the swamp creatures in Washington, Trump honors those who fight for America. Charlie Kirk gave his life defending the values that built this great nation.

This assassination should wake up every patriotic American. The radical left will stop at nothing to silence conservative voices. We must carry on Charlie Kirk’s mission and never let the enemies of freedom win.
