Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered powerful public remarks about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Thursday night, praising the "grace and strength" she said was espoused by Kirk's wife, Erika, in the days after his killing.

Barrett, who spoke on stage during the Federalist Society’s annual National Lawyers Convention dinner, said she was particularly struck by Erika Kirk's act of forgiving her husband's killer.

"Fighting poison with poison doesn't work," she said, and "leads to more poison."

She urged students to "take the high road like Erika Kirk and show grace and strength in the face of hatred."
