Charlie Kirk was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, leaving a hole in the conservative movement that will not be easily filled. The Turning Point USA founder built a generation of activists who believed in faith, family, and the American story, and his assassination was an attack on the liberty-loving youth he inspired. This was not a random tragedy; it was an attempted gag on a movement that refuses to be silenced.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott — speaking the truth conservatives have been saying in private for years — told Newsmax that Kirk’s mission “continues to live on” and that his work will outlast the cowardly act that tried to snuff it. Abbott’s swift, solemn response showed leadership when too many in the establishment waffle or equivocate, and it comforted millions who knew Charlie as a fearless truth-teller. We should be grateful for governors who stand with patriots, not with the noisy mobs who traffic in hatred.
The left’s toxic rhetoric has consequences, and watching too many in media and on campuses celebrate the death of a young father and Christian is proof that our cultural war has turned poisonous. Conservatives must call out this moral rot without apology — demand accountability, defend free speech, and refuse to let political violence become normalized. Charlie did not build his movement by cowering; he did it by pushing for conviction and courage, and we owe it to him to do the same.
Governor Abbott is also reminding America that law and order matters — and that includes supporting federal agents doing their jobs. Texas has repeatedly coordinated with federal immigration authorities and empowered state forces to backstop border enforcement so that communities are safer and cartels and smugglers have fewer routes to exploit. We need governors who will partner with ICE and the Border Patrol instead of pandering to open-border ideology that invites chaos at our doorstep.
Texas is drawing a line in the sand on leftist lawlessness inside our schools too, as Abbott and the Texas Education Agency review hundreds of reports of educators celebrating Kirk’s murder. Teachers who trade in violence and bigotry under the cover of “activism” have no business shaping young minds in public schools, and Texas is right to investigate and hold them to account. If our institutions won’t police themselves, patriotic leaders must — and they must do it now to protect students and restore basic civic decency.
Turning Point USA isn’t folding its tent; the campus tour and the movement Charlie built will carry on, stronger for the sacrifice and determination of those he led. TPUSA’s resolve to keep engaging students shows what real leadership looks like — faith over fear, action over surrender, and an unshakable belief that American youth deserve the truth about liberty and heritage. Let the left tremble: intimidation will not stop the renewal of a movement that put God, country, and family first.
This moment is a test for every conservative who believes in the rule of law and the sanctity of life. We must demand justice for Charlie, push back against the poisonous rhetoric that feeds violence, and support leaders like Gov. Abbott who refuse to let radicalism dictate civic life. Stand up, get informed, and make sure Charlie’s fight — for free speech, faith, and a proud American future — is the one that wins.
