Reactions from all over the country
Killing Kirk caused a wide condemnation of political violence on both sides of the political spectrum. The TPUSA was told in an emotional statement, “We all lost the leader, mentor and friends. Above all, our hearts are with Eric and their two children.” Donald Trump promised Kirk posthumously get a loose loose, most civilian decoration in the United States.
