The ramifications of Charlie Kirk’s sick assassination are being felt across the nation—and across the world—as gobs of leftists celebrate, while most on the right are filled with shock, horror, and anger.
President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were both personal friends with the conservative pioneer and have expressed their profound sadness over his killing, and their undying support for his widow, Erika.
In light of that, on Friday evening, the White House released a profound and moving tribute to the Turning Point USA co-founder and CEO.
Watch:
In loving memory of Charlie Kirk, a fearless patriot & man of unwavering faith who dedicated his life to America.
“It’s bigger than you, I want you to remember that… It’s bigger than me – you are here to make somebody else’s life better, the pursuit of liberty & freedom.”❤️ pic.twitter.com/3Xrf5dcFlP

The video was released not long before Kirk’s wife Erika spoke to the nation from Charlie’s office and delivered one of the most heart-wrenching speeches you’ll ever see.
HEARTACHE: ‘We Will Never Surrender’: Erika Kirk Delivers Powerful Words to America After Her Husband’s Killing
The White House video was equally touching:
President Donald Trump’s White House released the heartfelt collage of 31-year-old Kirk’s life and message on Friday evening before Kirk’s wife Erika was scheduled to make her first public address since her husband was shot and killed in a horrific, public murder. Kirk, a conservative firebrand and devout follower of Jesus Christ, is survived by his wife Erika and his two young children. The suspect in Kirk’s assassination has since been arrested and identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
“In loving memory of Charlie Kirk, a fearless patriot & man of unwavering faith who dedicated his life to America,” the White House wrote above the video posted to X.
As a parent, the footage in the WH video of the Kirks’ daughter running across the TV studio stage to hug her father broke my heart. What kind of sick individual—and sick philosophy—would endorse such an atrocity? Even if you’ve never believed in Satan, it’s hard not to believe that celebrating such depravity is plainly satanic.
Watch this without Kleenex, I dare you:

I wrote earlier Saturday about my experience at a 2022 TPUSA event, and what I wasn’t able to get to in that article is this: I saw no hate. I saw no calls for the stoning of gays. I saw no stoking of violence. What I did see was love, a vision for a better future, and a deep respect for the soul of this great country.
The video includes footage of Kirk at Turning Point USA events, taking the stage to arenas of thousands of young people, and engaging with students on college campuses. The video also includes a glimpse at his private life, with heart-wrenching photos of his wedding and a snippet of his toddler daughter gleefully flinging herself into her father’s arms.
“Take that risk. Take that leap of faith. Stay involved. Trust God, and act obediently,” Kirk’s voice is heard in the background.
“It’s bigger than you. I want you to remember it is bigger than you. It’s bigger than me. You are here to make somebody else’s life better in the pursuit of liberty and freedom,” he said.
The Reality: They Want Us to Live in Fear
It has now been announced that Kirk’s funeral is scheduled for Sept. 21 at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals. President Trump has said that he will be there.
RedState will keep you updated as the repercussions from this terrible story continue. In the meantime, God bless Trump and the White House for this powerful video that actually tells the truth about who this man was.
