“For me, I lost a friend, but my heart hurts even more for our country,” Pearson said. “This guy, when I was 12 years old, I had no one on social media. I had a few viral videos, but he reached out and said, ‘Hey, let me guide you. Let me guide you, go to our conference because he is so committed to improving the next generation of conservative leaders in this country, and this is his country.
Campus Reform correspondent Emily Sturge alerted about security concerns expressing opinions like Kirk’s at the university, saying it was conservative on college campuses because “putting your goals on your back.”
“Charlie Kirk is not in the political business,” Stegg said. “He is in the business of building relationships, friendships, marriages, families – he did. Just in the last eight months of this administration, we have seen the revival of Generation Z in conservatism, patriotism, and beliefs and family values. Charlie Kirk witnessed this – he fought against the battle of goodness and then Jehovah called him home.”

“It’s a realization that the future of this country is conservative youth,” Pearson said. “And if we are going to really take this country back, if we are going to make America great again, it will start with the young people in America.”
“But I think now, many of us in many of our young conservative movements continue his work, working harder because they want to instill fear in us. We have to keep fighting.”
