"While responsibility for violence rests with the perpetrator, we must confront the broader cultural intolerance that enabled such a tragedy. Hateful rhetoric from the Left has created a toxic environment where one side finds it acceptable to stoke fear and violence to silence civil dissent. We must be clear: They are the hate they claim to fight. Their words caused this. Their hate caused this."
"To honor this legacy, we call upon you to direct a statue of Charlie Kirk be placed in the United States Capitol. This is not a symbolic gesture, but a permanent testament to his life's work, his courage, and his sacrifice. It will stand a s a reminder that political disagreement must never be answered with violence, and that the fight for truth must carry on."
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has circulated a letter asking House Speaker Mike Johnson to direct that a statue of Charlie Kirk be placed in the United States Capitol. Luna described Kirk as a patriot, a father, and a fearless conservative voice who was senselessly assassinated on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University. Luna blamed broader cultural intolerance and hateful rhetoric from the Left for creating a toxic environment that enabled violence. Luna called the statue a permanent testament to Kirk's life, courage, and sacrifice and a reminder that political disagreement must never be answered with violence. An email to Luna's office was not immediately returned.
