Florida Democrats Condemn the Murder of Conservative Activist, Charlie Kirk

Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried released the following statement after receiving news that conservative activist Charlie Kirk was killed during an event in Utah.: 

“I am deeply disturbed by the murder of Charlie Kirk. Violence has NO place in our politics, and the Florida Democratic Party condemns this despicable and heinous act in the strongest of terms.

Our country is great because we value different perspectives and the fierce debate of ideas in the public square. As Americans, we may not all agree on everything, but one thing we can agree on is that, no matter how deep the ideological difference, disagreements shouldn’t turn to political violence. 

I will keep Charlie’s wife, Erika, and their young children in my prayers.”
