Gov. Spencer Cox, speaking after FBI Director Kash Patel, has called Charlie Kirk’s shooting “an attack on the American experiment” and asked for a safe exchange of ideas.
Gov. Spencer Fox said, “This cuts to the very foundation of who we are, of who we have been and who we could be in better times,” he said.
“Political violence is different than any other type of violence for lots of different reasons. One because in the very act that Charlie championed of expression, that freedom of expression that is enshrined in our founding documents, in having his life taken in that very act, makes it more difficult for people to feel like they can share their ideas, that they can speak freely”.
“We will never be able to solve all the other problems, including the violence problems that people are are worried about, if we can’t have a clash of ideas safely and securely, even especially, especially those ideas with which you disagree. That’s why this matters so much.”
Earlier, American President, Donald Trump declared that the murder of Charlie Kirk suspects has been apprehended by the FBI and in custody.
