Elected officials and political activists in Rhode Island responded to the murder of GOP organizer Charlie Kirk in Utah on Wednesday by denouncing political violence. “Political violence is never the answer. The Rhode Island chapter of Kirk’s group, Turning Point USA, announced plans for a 6:30 pm vigil on the mall side of the Statehouse Friday. Political violence is unacceptable and doesn’t solve disagreements. Regardless of our differences, we must come together to condemn gun violence, reject political violence, and work to become a stronger community and more unified nation.”
