Cassie is one of the most decent, kind-hearted and brightest people I know — not just in politics, but in life. Prayers for her and for all those affected by this tragedy that is beyond words to describe or make sense of. God, be near to the broken-hearted, as You promise us You will be. 🙏

Cecilia and I are heartbroken by the assassination and passing of Charlie Kirk. Charlie’s voice was a beacon for millions of young Americans searching for truth, courage, and conviction. This senseless act of violence has no place in America. Our prayers are with Charlie’s family and his loved ones, especially the two young children he leaves behind. Texas stands with them in mourning and in honoring Charlie's enduring legacy.
