The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, has not only shaken conservatives across the nation but has also revealed troubling responses from individuals in positions of influence.

In the aftermath of his murder, social media was filled with both mourning and, disturbingly, celebration. Some mocked Kirk’s death, while others openly rejoiced at the loss of a fellow American.

In response, Pentagon officials announced they are monitoring the online activity of service members and War Department employees to ensure accountability for those who have expressed such sentiments. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated plainly, “It is unacceptable for military personnel and Department of War civilians to celebrate or mock the assassination of a fellow American. The Department of War has zero tolerance for it.”

War Chief Pete Hegseth reinforced the message, saying they are “tracking all these very closely” and will address violations immediately.

The controversy also reached the political arena. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), in a recent interview, expressed limited empathy, stating she felt sympathy for Kirk’s widow and children but not for the activist himself, citing his past positions on race and history. Her remarks have fueled further outrage among conservatives who see such responses as a glaring lack of compassion.

Consequences have already come for some who mocked Kirk’s death. Laura Sosh-Lightsy, former Associate Dean of Students at Middle Tennessee State University, was fired after posting that Kirk “spoke his fate into existence” and that she had “ZERO sympathy.” Similarly, Florida’s Commissioner of Education, Anastasios Kamoutsas, issued a stern memo warning educators that any such “vile, sanctionable behavior” would be investigated and dealt with severely.

The assassination of a young conservative leader should have been an occasion for universal condemnation of violence, yet it has exposed a shocking willingness among some to celebrate political death. The Pentagon and other institutions are now grappling with how to enforce civility in the digital public square, particularly among those serving in official or educational capacities.

We come to you Holy and blessed Father through your Son Jesus Christ. To hear our prayers and help us to trust fully on your sovereignty. In your word it says to let vengeance be Yours. We can have peace because of your unfailing love and justice. thank you. Also in proverbs 17:13 Whoever rewards evil for good, Evil will not depart from his house.
(help us not stop seeking your will)
14 The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts.
(let us return evil with evil but return evil with good)
15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord
(expose the mockers for who they are, to see their shame and brought to a halt.)
thank you Father for all you do even when we don’t live a life online with your word. Your patience with us is impeccable. May your people learn to love you deeply and surrender daily in Jesus name we pray Amen

Who do we call to see if evil rhetoric spewing Ilhan Omar is really legal in our country today? Also the other female communists in our government. First are they all legal? Second, let’s campaign against them and others that obviously hate America. FATHER GOD please remove from congress and the courts all that truly hate America and Americans. Expose them all and let them be voted out or removed from congress in JESUS NAME! Amen!

Lord God,
We pray for Charlie Kirk’s family. We thank President Trump and the leaders for taking actions against political violence, mocking, and celebrating evil after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. President Trump regarded Kirk as “Like A Son”, publicly praised him as a “Giant Of His Generation” and a “Champion Of Liberty”, as well as Flags were lowered to half in recognition of his contributions to Make America Great Again. They both were bold fighters, represent faith-driven leadership, patriotic dedication, and the aligned hearts and shared purpose. Vice President Vance condemned “Left-Wing Extremism”is part of the reason behind Kirk’s killing and emphasized that the actual killer must be brought to justice. The Pentagon started to track mockery of Kirk’s death. Conservatives pray for Kirk instead of rioting like the left did after George Floyd. Charlie Kirk’s tragic death ignited a spiritual and cultural awakening, especially among conservatives, young activists, and faith-driven communities. His blood will not be shed in vain, it becomes a catalyst for a great revival in America and all over the world. Each one of us needs to ask ourselves: Am I willing to pay the price for the Truth? God, Grant us strength to continue the work Charlie Kirk began, living with the same dedication, courage, and faith. We ask You to heal our divided nation, and make America a united and holy nation. Amen

Lord, I pray that your children will show a distinct difference from the world in how we communicate with others regarding this issue.
May Charlie’s death bear abundant fruit for the kingdom of Christ, and may hate filled rhetoric be silenced by the compassionate prayers of your people.
In Jesus’ name, Amen!

So sad that Ilhan Omar and others still cling to the evil of hatred that satan has inflicted them with. This tragic event could be a chance for them to break free of satan by expressing true sympathy for Charlie Kirk and the shooter who is possessed by a powerful evil. Jesus died on a cross so that we can save our soul by living ad Jesus did. I pray for them all to seek God mercy and power to free them from the evils that possess them. God’s gift of free will means the choice is theirs I pray they choose God. I trust in God’s will. 🙏😇🙏❤️
