Later that evening, he posted: “The murder of Charlie Kirk while speaking in Utah is horrific and unacceptable—an attack not only on him, but on the principles of free speech and civil discourse.

A similar statement was made in another tweet at nearly the same time: “The murder of Charlie Kirk while speaking in Utah is horrific and unacceptable—an attack not only on him, but on the principles of free speech and civil discourse.
