RJC Statement on the Murder of Charlie Kirk

Washington, DC - The Republican Jewish Coalition is shocked and grieving at the murder of our dear friend Charlie Kirk. Political violence has no place in this country. There is no reason, no excuse, no political view, no issue that justifies violence against a fellow American.

Charlie has been a shining light in these troubled times for the American Jewish community, and we are deeply saddened at his passing. All people of good will must condemn this horrific murder and demand justice for Charlie.

Charlie was a fearless advocate for freedom, a supporter of Israel and the Jewish people, and a friend. He was cut down while doing what he loved to do, communicating with the next generation of American leaders on college campuses about the issues that affect us all. We will not let this murderer win. We will continue Charlie's work, alongside Turning Point USA and other strong conservative voices.

Our thoughts are with his family, including his wife and two young children. We are diminished by his loss. May his memory be a blessing.
