“Praying for Charlie Kirk right now, for his wife and young children, for our country” Pratt tweeted after Kirk was shot. “We need God’s grace. God help us.”
Jimmy Kimmel
“Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human?” Kimmel wrote in a message he shared to Instagram. “On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.”
Stephen Colbert “After our scripts for tonight’s show were finished this afternoon, we here at The Late Show learned that Charlie Kirk, a prominent right-wing activist was killed at a speaking engagement in Utah,” Colbert’s statement read. “Our condolences go out to his family and all of his loved ones. I’m old enough to personally remember the political violence of the 1960s, and I hope it is obvious to everyone in America that political violence does not solve any of our political differences. Political violence only leads to more political violence, and I pray with all my heart that this is the abhorrent action of a mad man and not a sign of things to come.”

He was a good, strange Christian man. Dear God please comfort his family. This may be the Turning Point he dedicated his short life to.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
My heart is with Charlie Kirk’s family, and with the United States.
Politics has become a disease in this country, and it’s deadly. But don’t listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure.
There is a cure. It is inside of us. We must find our better angels and walk back…

But don’t listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure. There is a cure. It is inside of us. We must find our better angels and walk back from the extremes. If we can’t agree on anything else, we must find agreement that we don’t solve our debates with violence. This is a horrible tragedy. May it also be a moment for everyone to rediscover their humanity.”
Savannah Chrisley
“I am numb. I can’t believe I’m even writing these words,” Chrisley wrote in a lengthy Instagram post. “Charlie Kirk changed my life…he brought me into the Turning Point family this past year, and I was supposed to be standing next to him at every college this October.
