A Testament to His LegacyI expect scholarly people will write extensively about why Charlie Kirk had such an impact across America, and I don’t count myself among them. I have to believe Charlie Kirk would be proud of us, and no doubt he’d be out in the crowd asking great questions to people who don’t quite get it yet. That’s the Charlie Kirk I’ll remember: not the partisan warrior his critics painted him as, but the patient teacher who believed every person – even that green-haired college student – deserved to have a real conversation.
