The murder of Charlie Kirk has sparked a vast amount of political comment over the last 12 days. A murder committed by what President Trump has called the “radical left”, and celebrated by the heinous words of the punk duo Bob Vylan, the political divide has been particularly apparent.
In the aftermath of his death, many have pointed to his immense contribution to the conservative cause: his necessary role in the success of MAGA, and his ability to speak to a generation tired of the decadence embraced by the one before them. Some have also eulogised Kirk’s Christian witness and what Chris Tomlin described as his “bold and unashamed” faith.
