AG Rokita on Charlie Kirk: “We must pick up the baton he carried”

Submitted by Office of AG Todd Rokita

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita released the following statement Thursday morning regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk.

“This assassination wasn’t just an attack on one man, it was assault on the very soul of our republic – just like President Trump said. They couldn’t beat Charlie in a debate with words, so a force of evil took him out with a bullet.

“To his family, shattered by this unimaginable loss, and to every patriot grieving, let your sorrow fuel a righteous fury. Channel that outrage, not into despair but into the kind of bold, unyielding action Charlie embodied himself. Win hearts and minds through fearless dialogue and debate, just as he did on stages nationwide.

“We must pick up the baton he carried. God bless Charlie, God bless his cherished family, and the enduring spirit of freedom he leaves behind.”
