There is bipartisan mourning for the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said he was killed for his words and for what he stood for.
Republican and Democrat lawmakers alike mourned the „horrific“ sudden fatal shooting of conservative leader Charlie Kirk on Wednesday.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., praised Kirk’s faith and positive message to young people, saying he „leaves a huge legacy.“
„It’s going to be hard for anybody to fill his shoes“, she said. „He’s extremely important. Students all over the country would get very excited if they found out he was coming to their college campus. He brought in thousands of people to hear him speak. Even people that didn’t agree with him would come, ask questions, even argue with him.“
„He would go on college campuses and tell young people to get married and have children and just talk about how wonderful it is to be married and to have children“, she went on. „He shared the word of God. He was a Christian, and he shared the gospel of Jesus Christ, and encouraged young people.“
Greene added that she believes Kirk was „killed for the words that he says and the things that he stood for.“
„He was always about the debate and Charlie Kirk was never for violence and to see him murdered in such a graphic way in front of the camera and that video is too gruesome“, said Greene.
