Ricketts Issues Statement on the Death of Charlie Kirk

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today,  U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) released the following statement after it was announced that Charlie Kirk died following a shooting at Utah Valley University on Wednesday:

“Charlie Kirk was participating in the very American act of political dialogue when he was taken from us. He was a husband, son, and father of two little children. Political violence is anti-American. It’s an attack against our very values. It’s an attack on our republic. In our great country, we settle our disagreements with ballots, not bullets. Please join me in prayer for his family as they mourn.”
