The real tragedy here is that another voice has been violently silenced. It is that it truly signifies the very fact that our nation is truly at a turning point. Whatever you may have thought about the man Charlie Kirk, at the end of the day, he is an American, a husband, father, son, and a child of God.

Charlie stood for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He boldly stood for his beliefs and his faith. I honor the life and legacy of this young man and pray for his family as they continue in his absence.
