Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) issued a statement in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Kirk, described by Lummis as “a young leader, a husband, a father,” had previously visited the University of Wyoming to speak with students about the nation’s future.
Lummis condemned the act, stating: “Today’s assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah is sickening and horrific. Charlie Kirk was a young leader, a husband, a father, and someone who had visited the University of Wyoming earlier this year to talk and engage with our students about the future of our country. Political violence is completely unacceptable. The perpetrator must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I hope you will join me in praying for Charlie’s wife, young kids, family, and friends. John 13:34.”
No additional details about the incident or ongoing investigation were provided in her statement.
