Crapo Statement on Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Washington, D.C.--U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) issued the following statement on the assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder and conservative political activist, Charlie Kirk, at Utah Valley University.

"Charlie was a leader in the conservative political movement with many promising years to come. His assassination is a vile and reprehensible act of political violence. Charlie promoted open dialogue and invited conversation from people of all backgrounds--especially with those with whom he disagreed. This loss to the conservative movement is deep.

My heart, as well as many hundreds of thousands of others, breaks for his family as he cannot be replaced as a husband and a father. I offer my deepest condolences to his wife, Erika, and their two small children. May God hold them close."
