"This is not about politics. The assassination was political. But it's a constitutional right to be have to have free speech it's our foundation, and if we don't all, organizations, the culture, don't draw a line in the sand to say, That cannot happen ever again, then it will continue. I think for the most part, the culture is getting it right."
"This is not long ago, four years ago, the league was encouraging everyone to take a knee while the national anthem was up. And hailing, uh hailing, uhh Colin Kaepernick, and now you have them saying if you want every team, it's up to you, if you want to salute a conservative thinker who lived a brilliant life and really transcended everything. That's gonna be your call. And a lot of them 12 of them said, Yeah, we're gonna do that."
Brian Kilmeade suggested that NFL tributes to assassinated Charlie Kirk resembled the league's prior encouragement of kneeling during the national anthem, mentioning Colin Kaepernick by name. Lawrence Jones framed the assassination as political while emphasizing constitutional free speech and the need for cultural boundaries to prevent recurrence. Kilmeade said teams could decide whether to salute Kirk and stated that about 12 teams planned to do so. Tributes to Kirk occurred before college and NFL games. The Fox & Friends panel included Kilmeade, Lawrence Jones, and Ainsley Earhardt, and reactions on the panel varied between praise and political framing.
