Turning Point USA released a statement on Thursday, following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, declaring its founder “America’s greatest martyr to the freedom of speech he so adored.”

“Every one of us at Turning Point USA is crushed and devastated by the hateful murder of our founder and guiding light, Charlie Kirk. All of us have lost a leader, a mentor, and a friend,” the organization began in its statement.

“Above all, our hearts are with Erika and their two children,” Turning Point USA continued. “Charlie was the ideal husband and the perfect father.”

“Above all else, we ask you to pray for the Kirks after the incomprehensible loss they have suffered,” the organization added.
