Sen. Cruz Statement on Turning Point USA Founder, Charlie Kirk
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released a statement following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Sen. Cruz said, "Heidi and I are devastated and heartbroken. Charlie Kirk's murder was an act of unspeakable evil. Charlie was a close friend; we first met when he was just 18, and Turning Point was a nascent idea. Charlie was courageous, brilliant, compassionate, and powerfully honest. He was a strong Christian who boldly proclaimed the Gospel. Charlie loved our country deeply, and we will forever remember him and honor his legacy. Heidi and I are praying for his wife Erika and their two young children, and all of his family and loved ones. May God's comfort and love be upon them. May Charlie rest in peace, and may he forever rest in the loving embrace of the Lord."
