"Make no mistake about it: Charlie Kirk was assassinated. He was an incredibly effective force in American politics. He was beloved for his Socratic style of going to college campuses and gently, charitably asking questions and engaging in respectful dialogue with those with whom he disagreed, Onder said, adding: Most of all, he was a very convincing advocate for love of God, family, and country, the hatred of which is a sacred creed of the left. They could not have it. They killed him."
"Yesterday, a social media post of mine hit a nerve when I called Charlie a martyr. Without question, he was. The Athenians put Socrates to death for the simple crime of asking questions about culture and society and the meaning of life itself. Socrates was, in that sense, a martyr to the truth. And so was Charlie Kirk. But Charlie was also a martyr for Jesus Christ."
"A priest friend of mine sent me this short passage from Saint Bede, referring to John the Baptist: There is no doubt that blessed John suffered imprisonment and chains as a witness to our Redeemer, whose forerunner he was, and gave his life for him. His persecutor demanded not that John should deny Christ, but only that he should keep silent about the truth. Nevertheless, he died for Christ."
Assertions characterized Charlie Kirk as assassinated and portrayed him as an influential political figure beloved for Socratic engagement on college campuses.

Assertions linked Kirk's death to opposition to transgender ideology and invoked religious testimony to cast the killing as martyrdom.
