Rep. Nancy Mace today issued the following statement on the one-year anniversary of the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk:
"A year ago today, Charlie Kirk was brutally assassinated for doing what he loved: standing up for his faith, his country, and the principles he believed were worth defending.
"Charlie never backed down. He showed up campus after campus, crowd after crowd, and had the hard conversations others were too afraid to have. He understood something many have forgotten: if we want to save this country, we cannot be afraid to speak the truth.
“He was a man of deep faith who dedicated his life to spreading the word of God and fighting for a better America. Above all, he was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a man who lived his faith every day.
"His life was cut far too short, but his mission was not. We owe it to Charlie, his family, and this country to keep going. Speak the truth. Stand for what is right. Never let fear silence us.
"Rest in peace, Charlie. Your legacy will live on."
