“When discourse ends, violence begins.” - Charlie Kirk All he wanted to do is talk to you people, and you fucking shot him for it. I feel sick seeing what this country has become.

Of all possible targets, they chose Charlie Kirk, a man who, despite holding strong views, was among the few political influencers who always made the effort to engage civilly and in good faith with people who disagreed with him. Perhaps this is why he was feared.

This is such a good point. If you actually watch Charlie’s events—as opposed to the fake summaries—they are one of the few places with open and honest dialogue between left and right. He would answer any question and talk to everyone.

“When discourse ends, violence begins.” - Charlie Kirk. He was murdered for choosing peace. He is now a martyr.

All of us in Alabama are wrapping the Kirk family in prayer during this unimaginable time of loss. Charlie was a husband, father and patriot. I hope and pray his mission to have good dialogue continues.

In the last few years we've seen: - The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer - The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC - The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi - Multiple assassination attempts against Trump - The assassination

Charlie Kirk was a true patriot who loved this country. I enjoyed going on his podcast, serving on boards together, and working side by side to advance the conservative movement. My heart breaks for Erika, his two kids, and the Kirk family. Their world – and ours – will never be

My heart is with Charlie Kirk’s family, and with the United States. Politics has become a disease in this country, and it’s deadly. But don’t listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure. There is a cure. It is inside of us. We must find our better angels and walk back

Cold Take: Just because someone said things you dislike or are against doesn't mean they deserve to die. Violence breeds violence

He was right and now he's dead.

Then why did you try to scream over the prayer for him?

I genuinely hope platforms use this moment to finally address unhinged violent threats masquerading as content and enforce their own ToS - but I fear some may use this opportunity to become even more of a biased echo chamber.

This will be remembered as one of the darkest days in American history. Charlie Kirk was murdered today for standing up for what he believed in. Put politics aside — this isn’t about left or right. He believed in free speech. He believed in the peaceful exchange of ideas. And

I’ve gotten a ton of people asking if I’m going to be cancelling our campaign rallies or the live shows after what happened to Charlie. Absolutely not. I refuse to give these terrorists what they want. They want us silenced. They want us afraid. I will be louder than ever.

Joe Rogan warns Charlie Kirk’s death could ignite a “Rodney King moment.” “One of two things is going to happen,” he says. 1.) “People are going to realize how fucking insane this is, and we have to have a conversation about being able to have conversations.” 2.) “It’s going
