Show-Me State Times

U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has issued a statement following the death of Charlie Kirk. In his remarks, Schmitt highlighted Kirk’s influence among young conservatives and his dedication to his family and faith.

“Charlie Kirk was a young father, a husband, a devoted Christian, and an inspiration for young conservatives across America. He was a happy warrior who dedicated his life to fighting for our country. He was an incredible friend — not just to me, but to so many of us. He touched the lives of millions. I’m heartbroken — for Charlie, for his family and loved ones, and for our country. He was a patriot in the fullest sense of the term. There are times when words fail — and all we can do is pray. Now is one of those times. Pray for Charlie. Pray for his family. Pray for our country,” said Senator Schmitt.

No further details about Kirk’s passing were provided in the statement.
