Ambassador Mike Huckabee told viewers on Saturday that Charlie Kirk “just understood biblical convictions like no other,” and he spoke with the plainspoken clarity conservatives expect from a man of faith. Huckabee’s words weren’t the kind of tepid praise you get from the swamp; they were a recognition that Charlie lived what he preached and gave his life standing squarely for God and country. This is the language that moves real Americans who still believe in the God-given goodness of Western civilization.
Huckabee also made a striking point that should silence the naysayers: Charlie was loved abroad, including by countless Israelis who followed his work and his friendship with the Jewish state. As Huckabee recounted from a Shabbat dinner in Jerusalem, young people there considered Kirk a hero—and that says something about the breadth of his influence across the free world. Conservatives don’t apologize for standing with Israel, and neither did Charlie.
The brutal reality is that Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at a university event in Utah, a shocking act that has left the nation grieving and demanding answers. Authorities arrested a suspect who now faces serious charges, and the case underscores the lethal consequences of a culture that all too often tolerates hatred and dehumanization. Political violence is never acceptable, and every conservative who loves free speech must be horrified and determined to protect those who speak truth.
Turning Point USA has organized a public memorial at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where tens of thousands are expected to gather to honor a young man who mentored an entire generation of patriotic kids. The memorial will be a national moment—a chance for conservatives to come together in faith and resolve, not in fear. Security is understandably tight, and law enforcement is treating this as a major event, because when the left’s rhetoric crosses into violence the whole country pays the price.
Let’s be blunt: the blame for rising political hostility does not fall solely on fringe actors — elite media, campus radicals, and soft-on-law enforcement politicians all share responsibility for the toxic environment we live in. Too often the media glamorizes leftist mobs while treating conservative speech like an open target, and that double standard has consequences. If conservatives cave to intimidation, we lose the next generation to cowardice, not conviction.
Charlie Kirk built Turning Point into a movement that gave young Americans the tools to stand firm for life, faith, and liberty, and that grassroots power is not extinguished by an assassin’s bullet. TPUSA was his platform for turning good ideas into political muscle, and his influence will live on through the students and activists he inspired. We must channel our grief into action: defend our campuses, defend our churches, and elect leaders who will secure our streets and uphold the First Amendment.
To every hardworking American watching this tragedy unfold, hear me: do not turn Charlie’s death into a victory for the left. Honor him by being louder, prouder, and more faithful than ever before. Stand with Israel, defend religious liberty, protect free speech, and vote like your family’s future depends on it.
Mike Huckabee was right to name Charlie’s faith and conviction as central to his legacy, because faith is what steadies a people in a storm. Let grief sharpen our resolve rather than dull it; let Charlie’s example be the spark that ignites a renewed, unapologetic conservatism rooted in biblical truth.
