From Fox News:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio likened the assassination of Charlie Kirk to a “death in the family” for the White House, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that such political violence only threatens democracy around the world during a joint press conference Monday.
Rubio and Netanyahu were delivering joint remarks in Jerusalem after holding a meeting to discuss the ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza, when a reporter asked them about the ramifications of Kirk’s assassination. Rubio called the assassination “horrifying” and “shocking” to those in the White House, including President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who were both close with Kirk. Kirk’s work had him engage in debates with people with opposing views and ideologies across college campuses and online. He was shot and killed while engaging in a debate on the campus of Utah Valley University on Wednesday at a Turning Point USA event.
