WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican Governors Association Chair Georgia Governor Brian Kemp released the following statement on behalf of the nation’s Republican governors on the death of Charlie Kirk:
“We are absolutely devastated by the news that America has lost Charlie Kirk.
“Charlie recently said, ‘leave a legacy and be courageous,’ and that’s exactly what he did. Charlie was a true American patriot who started a movement all across America that brought young people into the public square like we haven’t seen in decades. His passion for our nation, for free speech, and for vigorous debate was evident in everything he did and every cause he touched.
“We Republican governors join millions of Americans in mourning Charlie’s death, and our strongest prayers are with his wife Erika and their young children. Charlie taught young people to not only love their country, but to also prioritize faith and family — and that’s how he lived his life.
“Charlie’s horrific assassination is nothing short of evil. Political violence is never the answer, and it must stop. Charlie demonstrated how to debate our differences — through words and through action. His passing leaves a gigantic void in our national dialogue.”

What does Spanberger do? Another empty vapid press release despite telling Democrats behind closed doors to
Jay Jones wished death on children and fantasized about killing people.
Abigail Spanberger’s response was empty—she condemned the rhetoric but stopped short of saying what any serious leader would: Jay Jones must drop out.
Her response is simply not good enough. https://t.co/7QPTjV3D8l
