Political Quotes

On the recordSeptember 15, 2025
a lot has been said the last few days about the horrible assassination of Charlie Kirk. I was able to attend two ceremonies over the weekend in which people gathered to memorialize him. I hear a lot of people talking about Charlie Kirk exercising his right to political free speech, and we have to respect people's ability to engage in political speech. I think if you look at some of his videos, and certainly if you attended these ceremonies, Charlie Kirk was a much more religious person than a political person. I think that is lost on a lot of people, lost on a lot of political commentators. I think particularly in this era of declining church attendance, a time when so many young people are raised in families that don't even go to church, I think his speaking about Christianity and his faith and the importance to carry on his mission is more important than his political statements.

I would like to interject a little bit of common sense in the deportation debate we have had going on here. No one knows exactly how many people are in this country illegally. I think it is safe to say that under President Biden that…
