On Fox News, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany delivered a heartfelt and deeply spiritual tribute to Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old conservative activist who was fatally shot during a campus event at Utah Valley University. Speaking with reverence, McEnany remembered Kirk not just as a political leader, but as a devoted Christian, husband, and father of two whose impact reached far beyond headlines.

McEnany recounted meeting Kirk when he was just 18 years old, a young man with a bold vision to mobilize conservative students. “This young man with an idea that became a movement,” she said, referring to Turning Point USA, which he founded in 2012. Over the years, Kirk built the largest conservative student organization in the country, energizing youth engagement on thousands of campuses and reshaping national discourse.

But for McEnany, Kirk’s influence extended far beyond politics. “Charlie would point up,” she said, emphasizing his commitment to his faith. His conservative values, she explained, were not rooted in partisanship but in his love for Jesus Christ. He spoke directly to students who felt isolated and disillusioned, offering not only political arguments but hope through faith.

Kirk’s ability to connect with young people was profound, McEnany added. He often ministered to those struggling with depression or spiritual emptiness, using his platform to share messages of salvation and purpose. “He would give them hope in Jesus Christ,” she said, describing his outreach as deeply personal and transformative.

As her tribute came to a close, McEnany reflected on Kirk’s legacy in the afterlife. With conviction, she said, “Charlie Kirk did not die today… When he took his last breath, the first words that he heard were Jesus Christ saying, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant.’” She expressed deep compassion for Kirk’s wife Erika and their two children, praising Erika as a “beautiful mom, beautiful writer,” and woman of strength.

In the wake of Kirk’s death, tributes have poured in nationwide, including from President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. Yet for McEnany and many others, Charlie Kirk’s greatest legacy lies not only in his political work, but in his unshakable devotion to God, his family, and a mission that continues to inspire millions.
