Republican lawmakers have co-sponsored a resolution by Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) memorializing Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
The resolution, called “Honoring Charlie Kirk Following His Assassination on September 10, 2025, in Orem, Utah,” stated that a “gunman opened fire at a Turning Point USA event hosted by Charlie Kirk, a faith-based conservative spokesman and thought leader, targeting him specifically.”
The filing declares that the House of Representatives “condemns in the strongest possible terms this horrific political assassination, which occurred at Utah Valley University, of Charlie Kirk, on September 10, 2025,” and “offers its heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Charlie Kirk, who was killed in the attack.”
It further “recognizes the service of the security team, first responders, and the health care professionals who jumped into action” and “reaffirms the bedrock principle of American democracy and representative government, which is memorialized in the First Amendment to the Constitution,” which the resolution notes includes the “right of the people peaceably to assemble.”
The House of Representatives commits to standing firm “in its belief in a democracy in which all can participate and in which intimidation and threats of violence cannot silence the voice of any American.”
President Donald Trump confirmed the arrest of the suspected assassin in a Friday interview on Fox & Friends. “I think with a high-degree of certainty, we have him,” Trump said, adding, “essentially, someone who knew him turned him in.”
“We have the person that we think is the person we’re looking for, but they drove into the police headquarters, and he’s there now,” Trump said.
