"We want to start off tonight by saying that, as I'm sure you've heard by now, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was murdered yesterday at a college event in Utah. We're horrified by this grotesque tragedy, and our condolences go out to his family and loved ones. It should never be a matter of political ideology to mourn and to extend our fullest and deepest empathy to those who are suffering."
"Political violence is abhorrent and anathema to the highest ideals of this country. It corrodes us and threatens the very foundations of our democracy. The great promise of our democratic experiment is that we can engage with one another and resolve our differences through dialogue, not violence. We must hold true to that promise and strive toward it with our fullest effort, even when it feels furthest away."
Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot during a college event in Utah and later died from his injuries. Political and media circles reacted with shock. National leaders must show dignity and compassion and condemn political violence, beginning with President Donald Trump. Political violence corrodes democratic foundations and undermines the promise of resolving differences through dialogue. Several students were shot in Colorado, and a school shooting in Minnesota recently killed two children and injured 21 more. There have been over 300 mass shootings and 47 school shootings this year. Stricter gun violence laws and immediate action are necessary to prevent further bloodshed.
