The assassination of Charlie Kirk has come as a shock to many, but sadly, it is also the natural consequence of how violent and intolerant the left has become. If you dare to disagree with them, their answer isn’t to debate you or live and let live… it’s to assassinate you.

And now, America is reeling. A young father, a husband, a patriot, and a voice of calm reason is gone in an instant, taken by left-wing political violence. Charlie touched countless lives through his words, his work, and his unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. In the wake of his assassination, tributes are pouring in from across the country, as stunned friends, leaders, and ordinary Americans struggle to put into words what has been lost.

Among the many heartfelt messages, one stands out for its depth and humanity. First Lady Melania Trump’s tribute to Charlie is soul-stirring, a reminder not only of the depth of this loss but also of who Charlie was to his family. A man whose faith, kindness, and courage left a mark on everyone who knew him or knew of him. Her words drive home what so many are feeling: that America has lost more than a political voice… we’ve lost a profoundly good, decent man.

Here’s what our First Lady, Melania Trump posted on X:

Charlie’s children will be raised with stories instead of memories, photographs instead of laughter, and silence where their father’s voice should have echoed.

Charlie Kirk’s life should serve as a symbolic reminder that compassionate awareness elevates family, love, and country.

President Trump also delivered a heartfelt tribute to his staunch supporter, America First warrior, and dear friend, Charlie Kirk.

President Trump also addressed the nation from the Oval Office.

Watch:

Bishop Robert Barron shared this incredible tribute to Charlie, who was supposed to appear on his show in 10 days.

I first met Charlie Kirk about four years ago when I was in Phoenix for a speaking engagement. He reached out and invited me to breakfast. I was deeply impressed by him that day. He was a man of great intelligence, considerable charm, and real goodness of heart.

I reconnected with him just last year, after I saw him debate twenty-five young people who were, to put it mildly, hostile to his views. I texted him that I was so struck by how he kept his cool and his charitable attitude in the face of some pretty obnoxious opposition. I then asked him to appear as a guest on my interview program, “Bishop Barron Presents,” and he eagerly accepted my invitation. He was scheduled to come to Rochester, Minnesota in about ten days. The last contact we had was two nights ago. After I appeared on one of the evening news shows to talk about the Religious Liberty Commission, he texted me and told me how much he appreciated what I said and then added, “I’m excited to join you on your show soon. God bless you.”

That last sentence shows what was most important to Charlie. He was indeed a great debater and also one of the best advocates in our country for civil discourse, but he was, first and last, a passionate Christian. In fact, when we had that breakfast in Phoenix, we didn’t talk much about politics. We talked about theology, in which he had a deep interest, and about Christ. I know I’m joining millions of people around the world in praying that he rests now in the peace of the Lord.

Chandler Crump a Gen-Z influencer who says Charlie Kirk changed his life, shared these words about his mentor.

Charlie Kirk changed my life.

I attended Turning Point USA’s Young Black Leadership Summit in October 2018. I was 14 at the time but Charlie told me it didn’t matter how young I was, I could fight alongside him in this movement.

From then on, I attended every Turning Point Conference every year. From 2018 to 2025.

I grew up in this movement. I became the person I am today because of the inspiration from Charlie Kirk and his organization.

I will never be the same without him, and this country will never be the same either.

He was a husband, a father, a man of God, and a visionary for our nation.

Vice President JD Vance’s tribute is incredible.

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.

Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right–as he usually was–he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, “I told you so.” But: “welcome.”

Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. “Like his dad, he’s misunderstood. He’s extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength.” Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.

Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I’d go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.

When I became the VP nominee–something Charlie advocated for both in public and private–Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president’s team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn’t just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. “You focus on Wisconsin,” he’d tell me. “Arizona is in the bag.” And it was.

Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.

Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he’d encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.

Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I’ve seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.

He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, “I know he was a very good friend of yours.” I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.

Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other’s chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he’d always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we’ve had in this administration traces directly to Charlie’s ability to organize and convene. He didn’t just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.

I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that’s how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.

God didn’t answer those prayers, and that’s OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I’ll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.

You ran a good race, my friend.

We’ve got it from here.

Here’s what others across the internet are saying about the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the tremendous loss we’ve all suffered in losing a deeply devoted family man of such incredible faith and love.

“Charlie Kirk, a law abiding family man assassinated for his opinion. He was not a felon. He never held a gun to a pregnant womans belly or fought police. Yet: No sports teams will take a knee. No city will loot. No media outlet will mourn. The west has fallen. Decency erased.”

“Charlie Kirk wasn’t a radical, he was the voice of reason and debate He was your dad, your uncle, your grandfather who listened to Rush and Glenn Beck This is the man the left murdered, the one whose death they’re celebrating, the one Congressional Democrats refused to pray for”

“Charlie Kirk’s tour was literally about his willingness to talk to anyone and to debate anything, and he was still shot. Discussion doesn’t work with terrorists and other animals.”

“ALL CHARLIE KIRK DID WAS HAVE A RESPECTFUL DIALOGUE WITH PEOPLE HE DISAGREED WITH”

“Charlie was never one for silence. For years, as founder of Turning Point USA, he plunged into the furnace of public debate – walking into college quad‑protests, fielding hecklers, sparring with ideological opponents. Whether you agreed or disagreed with his views, there was no avoiding them. He embraced challenge. He invited opposition. His signature “Prove Me Wrong” booths were not just showpieces – they were statements: free speech requires exposure, not censorship, even when it hurts. That commitment – to debate, to confrontation, even to discomfort – is exactly what makes his death more than another political killing. It’s a blow to the idea that disagreement, when handled with words, is the oxygen of democracy. ”

“They killed him because they couldn’t debate him.”

We’ll leave you with these words from Charlie, words that ring so heartbreakingly true today, as we mourn the assassination of a great young man who devoted his life to teaching America to debate, not hate.
