President Trump on Wednesday night said that he was "filled with grief and anger" at the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a Utah college campus, and called Kirk a "martyr for truth and freedom."
Trump, in a Wednesday night video posted online, also vowed to "find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence."
"He fought for liberty, democracy, justice, and the American people," Trump said in the video. "He's a martyr for truth and freedom, and there's never been anyone who was so respected by youth. Charlie was also a man of deep, deep faith. And we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace with God in heaven."
