From NFRW President Julie Harris
The assassination of Charlie Kirk, a young husband, father of two, and champion of conservative values has shaken the core of America. This senseless act reveals the deep depravity that hate can drive someone to commit.
Charlie welcomed debate and invited challenges to his thinking. He defended conservative principles through common sense, not violence. That's what real strength looks like. He was not an enemy to the radical left but an American citizen exercising his First Amendment rights in a nation founded on the principles of liberty and free speech. A person who thinks differently from you is not a threat to be eliminated.
Charlie's assassination is not just an attack on him, but on all who believe in free speech, limited government, and individual liberty.
We cannot allow this tragedy to intimidate us into silence. We are praying for Charlie's family during this unimaginable loss.
