Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked for his reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk while speaking at an event at the University of Southern California on Monday.
“I was very, very upset that someone’s life was taken because they have a different opinion. It’s just unbelievable,” the actor and former California governor told USC’s interim president Beong-Soo Kim. “This was a great communicator, a great advocate for the right — for Republican causes. He had such a great way of communicating with the students that agreed or disagreed with him.”
Kirk was shot on Sept. 10 while debating students at Utah Valley University as part of his “Prove Me Wrong” campaign. The conservative pundit and Turning Point USA leader was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead about 90 minutes later.
