🇺🇸 Statement on the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Published on September 16, 2025 at 7:07 AM

The assassination of Charlie Kirk was not only a personal tragedy—it was an attack on the values that define our Republic. Charlie was a fearless advocate for liberty, faith, and the Constitution. He inspired millions to stand up, speak out, and never back down. His murder was a cowardly act meant to silence a voice that echoed across campuses, communities, and the country.

As a presidential candidate, I commend FBI Director Kash Patel for his swift and thorough investigation. The suspect, Tyler Robinson, has been arrested and faces imminent charges for first-degree murder. According to Director Patel, investigators uncovered chilling evidence: text messages in which the suspect stated he had the “opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk” and that “some hatred cannot be negotiated with”2. DNA evidence has also tied the suspect to the scene, including items found in a rooftop sniper’s nest.

Let me be clear: political violence has no place in America. We must hold accountable not only the individual who pulled the trigger, but also the culture that breeds this kind of hatred. The FBI has seized multiple electronic devices and is investigating communications across platforms like Discord to uncover any broader network or ideological motive2.

Charlie Kirk stood for truth. He stood for freedom. And we will honor him not just with words, but with action. We will ensure justice is served. We will protect free speech. And we will never allow violence to replace debate in the public square.

May God bless Charlie’s family, and may we all recommit ourselves to the cause he gave his life for.
