Opinions and an Update on the Charlie Kirk Assassination 

From Eric Rosen, The Rosen Report
“As a nation, we are divided on a myriad of major topics (border, crime, abortion, deficits, vaccines, wealth distribution, DEI, climate change, men in women’s sports, healthcare, gun laws, wealth distribution, Israel, Ukraine, trade, and the list continues. Great nations don’t stay great forever, and I fear ours is cracking under the weight of division and hate. The cornerstone of this nation is the freedom of free speech. If we lose the ability to have differing political viewpoints, and if the answer to our differences of opinion is violence, we will not survive as a free and democratic nation. Let’s hope Kirk’s needless assassination is a wake-up call to allow people to find commonalities rather than exploit differences.”

From Will Rhan, The Free Press
“We’ve all heard a version of this sentence in the last couple days. The hedging, from those who are keen to express their horror at the assassination of a 31-year-old conservative activist – but even keener to reject any possible association with his views. (Views that, it’s worth mentioning, he shared with millions of Americans.) Perhaps America’s problem is encapsulated by these caveats: Signaling our tribe is more important than basic human decency.

”From California Governor Gavin Newsom
“We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today…. I knew Charlie, and I admired his passion and commitment to debate. His senseless murder is a reminder of how important it is for all of us, across the political spectrum, to foster genuine discourse on issues that deeply affect us all without resorting to political violence.”
