LAGOP: A STATEMENT ON THE ASSASSINATION OF CHARLIE KIRK

It is with profound grief and righteous anger that we mourn the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. America has lost a bold truth-teller, a courageous leader, and a patriot who never shied away from defending the values that built this nation.

Charlie’s voice resonated with millions because he spoke with conviction about the eternal truths of God, liberty, and personal responsibility. He reminded us that the foundation of our Republic rests not on the shifting sands of cultural fads, but on the unchanging, God-fearing principles of our Founding Fathers.

To the young men and women whom Charlie inspired: his mission is now yours. The enemies of truth may have silenced his voice, but they cannot extinguish the fire he lit in your hearts. In this dark hour, I urge you to rise up, carry forward the torch of faith and freedom, and show this nation that Charlie Kirk’s legacy will not be buried with him. It will live on in you.

As Scripture reminds us: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). Charlie carried that light into a world desperate for truth. Now it is our responsibility to ensure that light shines even brighter through our actions, courage, and faith.

And let us be clear: this kind of evil must be condemned by all Americans, Democrats and Republicans alike. Violence has no place in our political discourse or in our communities. We may disagree on policy, but we must stand united in affirming the value of every human life and the sacred right of free speech.

We honor Charlie’s life best not by mourning alone, but by taking action. Stand boldly in your schools, your communities, and your careers as champions of truth. Defend freedom, faith, and family against every attack. Refuse to let evil intimidate you into silence.

May God comfort Charlie’s family, friends, and the countless Americans he influenced. And may He raise up a new generation of leaders who will take this tragic loss and turn it into a movement that reclaims our country and secures the blessings of liberty for generations to come.

Chairman Derek Babcock
