On a day we remember an attack from enemies originating outside our borders, a new terror just struck from within. A patriot’s voice was silenced, and we must ask: what happens when political disagreements become a death sentence?
I remember 9/11. I bet you do, too. We all watched the towers fall. But in the days after, we came together. We were not liberals or conservatives. We were just Americans, standing united against a foreign enemy. That feeling is long gone, isn’t it?
Today, the fight is right here at home. The danger is not from overseas. It’s growing on our own college campuses and in our own cities. On this sacred day, a new kind of terror struck. And it came from inside our own country.
Charlie Kirk is dead. The conservative leader and founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated. He was shot and killed while giving a speech at Utah Valley University. He was only 31. He leaves behind a wife and two small children. What kind of monster orphans two children for politics?
A Voice for a Generation Is Silenced
Charlie Kirk wasn’t some stuffy commentator. He was a fighter. For a generation of young conservatives who felt shouted down, he was a hero. He reminded them it was okay to love America and to speak the truth. He built a movement that truly scared the establishment.
President Donald Trump knew how important Charlie was. He loved him. And he is heartbroken, just like the rest of us. Leaders from all over the world are saying the same thing. They knew he was a warrior for freedom. They knew he was murdered for telling the truth. Many Americans followed their lead.
From Fox News:
Vigils were held across the country following the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at an event in Utah on Wednesday.
Kirk, the 31-year-old co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed on the campus of Utah Valley University on Wednesday afternoon. He was transported to a hospital in critical condition before he was later pronounced dead.
Politicians, faith leaders, fellow conservative activists and others mourned Kirk’s death, with some announcing vigils to stand against political violence in the wake of his murder.
A Nation on Its Knees
And how did our side respond? With prayer. All across America, good people gathered for vigils. They lit candles. They prayed for Charlie’s family. They prayed for our nation.
Look at the difference. Our side prays. Their side preys. That’s the choice in America today. We can be a nation on our knees in prayer, or we can be a nation brought to its knees by violence.
The Inevitable Harvest of Hate
So, who did this? The police are hunting for the shooter. We know it was a “targeted attack” from a rooftop. But let’s be honest. We already know who is really to blame. President Trump spelled it out for everyone.
This was not a surprise. For years, the radical left has called people like Charlie “Nazis” and “fascists.” They scream about “dangerous words” from our side. Then they act shocked when the violence they encourage actually happens. Give me a break.
They wanted this. They created the toxic hate that loaded that gun and aimed it at a good man. When you spend years demonizing your opponents, you can’t wash your hands of the blood. This evil act is on them. It is that simple.
On 9/11, we knew who the enemy was. Today, the enemy is an idea. An idea that says it’s okay to hate, dehumanize, and even kill your political opponents. That poison is destroying our country from the inside out.
So, what are we going to do? Let them win? Let them scare us into silence? I don’t think so. We owe it to Charlie Kirk to fight harder than ever. His life was a battle for America’s soul. Now, that battle is ours to finish.
