The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk has shocked America to its core. The beloved Turning Point USA founder was gunned down at Utah Valley University while spreading his message of freedom and conservative values to college students. This was not just a random act of violence but a calculated political assassination that strikes at the heart of our movement.
Dave Rubin has stepped forward to defend his friend’s memory against disgusting lies from the left. On Fox News, Rubin shared touching stories about Charlie’s true character behind the scenes. He revealed how Charlie would refuse payment for helping friends and continued speaking events even while in crippling back pain because he believed in the cause.
The friendship between Rubin and Kirk shows what real conservative brotherhood looks like. Despite their early disagreements on issues like abortion and marriage, they debated respectfully and found common ground. Charlie helped Rubin evolve in his thinking through patient discussion rather than cancellation or violence like the left prefers.
Law enforcement worked around the clock to catch the killer. Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah, was arrested after 33 hours thanks to a tip from his own family friend. The FBI found disturbing engravings on the shooter’s ammunition that revealed this was planned political terrorism against conservatives.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox correctly called this what it is – a political assassination. This attack was not just on Charlie Kirk but on all Americans who believe in free speech and conservative values. The left’s violent rhetoric has consequences, and Charlie paid the ultimate price for speaking truth on college campuses.
Disgracefully, leftist politicians like Ilhan Omar and celebrities like Stephen King immediately began spreading lies about Charlie after his death. They showed their true colors by smiling and making jokes about a murdered father and husband. Their heartless response proves they see conservative deaths as victories worth celebrating.
Charlie Kirk spent years facing violent protests, bomb threats, and harassment from leftist students on college campuses. He always responded with grace, inviting his critics to debate rather than fight. His “come up first” policy showed real leadership while the left responded with pulled fire alarms and thrown objects.
Now the conservative movement must honor Charlie’s memory by continuing his mission. Dave Rubin has volunteered to help fill the void left by this American patriot. We cannot let the left silence our voices through violence and intimidation. Charlie Kirk died fighting for freedom, and we must carry that torch forward.
