President Donald Trump addressed the nation following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Kirk was fatally shot on Wednesday while speaking at Utah Valley University during his American Comeback Tour.
In a somber video message, Trump called the shooter a “monster” and described the incident as a “dark moment for America.”
Trump praised Kirk as a devoted patriot who championed liberty, justice, and open debate.
The assassination occurred when a gunman fired from a rooftop, striking Kirk in the neck and causing chaos among attendees.
Trump linked the killing to a broader rise in political violence fueled by toxic rhetoric and media demonization of conservatives.
He warned that hateful political discourse can lead to tragic consequences like murder.
Despite the loss, Trump vowed that Kirk’s mission and message would continue to inspire others.
He declared that Kirk’s voice is now “bigger and grander” because of the attempt to silence him.
