GLENDALE, California (PNN) - September 10, 2025 - It is with profound sorrow we mourn the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk following today’s horrific assassination attack at Utah Valley University. This was a cowardly and vile act of violence, carried out to silence one of America’s boldest Christian conservative voices.
Our hearts are shattered for Charlie’s wife, family, friends, colleagues, and the countless people whose lives he touched through his words, his work and his unwavering commitment to faith and country.
Charlie was more than a broadcaster - he was a fearless defender of truth and a faithful servant of God. This assassination was not just an attack on Charlie; it was an attack on free speech and on the values Charlie championed every day. His absence leaves a tremendous void, but his legacy of faith, courage and conviction will continue to inspire generations.
Charlie’s partnership with Salem Media was defined by his uncompromising defense of biblical values, liberty and truth. He epitomized Salem’s mission to “impact lives and communities by amplifying truth, faith and self-governance through media.” We are blessed to have worked with such a man as Charlie and to have watched him grow into the legacy he became.
Salem Media extends its most heartfelt condolences to the Kirk family, Charlie’s friends, and the millions of Americans and people across the world who are grieving this senseless loss.
