>Charlie was a fearless advocate for freedom, a supporter of Israel and the Jewish people, and a friend. He was cut down while doing what he loved to do, communicating with the next generation of American leaders on college campuses about the issues that affect us all. We will not let this murderer win. We will continue Charlie’s work, alongside Turning Point USA and other strong conservative voices.
>Kirk also visited Israel several times. During one trip in 2019, he delivered a speech at an event organised by a Zionist group at a pub in Jerusalem, saying: “I’m very pro-Israel, I’m an evangelical Christian, I’m a conservative, I’m a Trump supporter, I’m a Republican, and my whole life I have defended Israel.”
>In a post on X in August, Kirk called on his supporters to reject antisemitism: “Jew hate has no place in civil society. It rots the brain, reject it.”
