Mike Lee Offers ‘Tribute to the Amazing Legacy of Charlie Kirk’ with Senate Resolution

In the wake of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, introduced a Senate resolution Thursday honoring the conservative activist’s memory.

“I look forward to my colleagues of both parties uniting to condemn this vile murder, and to offer a tribute to the amazing legacy of Charlie Kirk,” Lee told The Daily Signal. “His patriotic vision of America will win.”

Kirk was assassinated during a speaking event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday where he was debating university students. His death has galvanized the conservative movement and those hoping to see this chapter of political violence in America’s history come to an end.

Lee’s Senate resolution remembers Kirk as “a devoted husband, father, and Christian,” who “frequently engaged college students of all political backgrounds in open debates and discussion, encouraging civil discourse on college campuses and among college students.”

It also “condemns the assassination of Charlie Kirk in the strongest possible terms,” and “extends its deepest condolences and sympathies to Charlie Kirk’s family, including his wife Erika, and their two young children.”

Furthermore, Lee’s resolution “honors Charlie Kirk’s commitment to the constitutional principles of civil discussion and debate between all people of the United States, regardless of political affiliation.”

The manhunt for Kirk’s killer continues.
