“He was a joyful warrior for our country,” Vance said. “He loved America, he devoted himself tirelessly to making our country a better place. He was a critical part of getting Donald Trump elected as president, getting me elected as Vice President.”
Vance further noted that Kirk was the “smartest political operative I’ve ever met.” He also described the honor and the privilege he had of flying to Utah where Kirk was shot and to bring his body back to Arizona. He said that upon meeting Kirk’s widow, Erika,t she discussed how much she loved Charlie and what a kind man he was behind-the-scenes of his public profile.
“She said to me that Charlie never raised his voice. That he never cussed at her, that he was never cross or mean-spirited to her,” Vance noted.
Now, Vance is calling on Americans to build upon the legacy that Charlie Kirk left behind.
“We have to build upon it. We have to add to it. We have to make sure that the next generation of young people feels confident and courageous to speak their mind and to speak the truth,” he said.
