US EditionHumboldt County GOP, Democrats Respond to Charlie Kirk Slaying
Tyler Robinson, 22, is charged with aggravated murder after assassinating Charlie Kirk at a Utah university; Stephen Miller pledges to combat the radical left as urged by Kirk.
- Earlier this week, Charlie Kirk was fatally shot by 22-year-old Tyler Robinson while addressing university students in Utah; Robinson has been arrested and faces charges including aggravated murder.
- The killing prompted President Donald Trump to order flags at half-staff and have Air Force Two transport Kirk's body with a color guard, while immediately blaming the radical left for the assassination.
- White House adviser Stephen Miller shared that Kirk’s final directive to him was to confront and break down radical left-wing groups, and both Miller and the administration promised to hold accountable those involved in political violence as well as anyone glorifying Kirk’s death.
- Secretary of War Pete Hegseth called celebrations from some military personnel around Kirk's death 'completely unacceptable' and said the Pentagon is actively seeking to discipline those detractors, responding to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell.
- The assassination has intensified political tensions as Trump vowed to find those funding political violence, while some critics say the honors given to Kirk and related rhetoric risk cheapening true martyrdom and inflaming divisions.
