President Donald Trump has vowed to pursue not only the assassin of conservative activist Charlie Kirk but also those he accused of funding and fueling “radical left” political violence across the United States.
In a video statement posted Wednesday night on Truth Social, Trump described Kirk, 31, as a “patriot”and a “martyr for truth and freedom,”praising him for inspiring young Americans through debates on college campuses nationwide.
“Charlie was the best of America, and the monster who attacked him was attacking our whole country,” Trump said. “An assassin tried to silence him with a bullet, but he failed, because together we will ensure that his voice, his message, and his legacy will live on for countless generations to come.”
