The Daily Signal - The Daily Signal Presents “The “Signal Sitdown – Charlie Kirk Was ‘the Best of Us’ | Steve Deace
The conservative movement lost “the best of us" last week after Charlie Kirk was assassinated for his conservative values and martyred for his unyielding faith in Jesus Christ.
Steve Deace, a BlazeTV host, joined “The Signal Sitdown” where he responded to the death of his personal friend and Turning Point USA founder.
Because Charlie was such a bright light, “the enemy wanted to take him out,” Deace said.
To honor Charlie’s memory, it’s time for conservatives to “get more aggressive,” Deace continued.
“We need to mourn, and it's OK to mourn," he said. "Frankly, his legacy demands that we do. And then, when we're done, we clean off our faces, we wipe the last bit of tears from our eyes and snot from our nose, and we get up, and we get back on offense.”
