Summary

The assassination of a conservative political giant, Turning Point Founder Charlie Kirk, has rocked the political world and America at large as reactions pour in and many wonder what exactly comes of his death. On Wednesday, President Trump published a recorded video statement, praising Charlie's impact on the country and announcing Kirk would be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss the heavy week, from the killing of Charlie Kirk to the murder of a young woman on a North Carolina commuter rail. Millions of people are mourning the death of conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, particularly the many college students and Gen Zers who admired him. Campus Reform reporter Emily Sturge and Leadership Institute regional field recruiter Cooper Brown join the Rundown to reflect on Charlie Kirk’s enduring influence on the conservative movement, his efforts to restore free speech and political discourse on college campuses, and whether his assassination could prompt a moment of political unity. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary from political commentator and best-selling author Brilyn Hollyhand. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices.
