“I was disappointed with President Trump’s rhetoric. Kirk’s tragic murder should give us pause as a country and be a wake-up call to use less divisive language and to, as Kirk did, encourage respectful dialogue. President Trump’s speech did not reflect those values. And in what has become expected of his words, was more focused on self-aggrandizing and attacking his opponents than reflections on Charlie Kirk and the positive contributions he made in our country. While much of the evangelical language of Erika Kirk’s speech does not speak to me as a non-Christian, she was, in contrast to Trump, speaking to her husband’s vision, mission and impact.”
