President Donald Trump delivered a solemn message to the nation in the wake of influencer Charlie Kirk's assassination on a college campus in Utah.
The president spoke from the Oval Office as he criticized the 'demonization' of political opponents during a four-minute video posted to his Truth Social account.
'To my great fellow Americans, I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions and tonight, all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror,' the president said.
He then spoke about Kirk as a man of faith who loved his country and talking to the American people.
'Charlie was a patriot who devoted his life to the cause of open debate and the country that he loved so much, the United States of America. He fought for liberty, democracy, justice and the American people.'
