Sen. Kelly on Charlie Kirk: The One Thing We Agreed on, Is ‘His Right To Be Out There Speaking About Issues on College Campuses’

‘He was one of my constituents’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KELLY: "Well, Charlie Kirk and I didn’t agree much politically. I’m a Democrat, he’s clearly a Republican. He was one of my constituents. The one thing we did agree on is his right to be out there speaking about issues on college campuses like he was last Wednesday. He had every right to be there, and I will give him a lot of credit. He gave people a platform, and he would listen to people across the aisle. I had a difference of a opinion from him. I think it’s hard to say. This was one of those moments, I think, that people will remember. I think it will have a long-term impact. I hope it can be a positive one. I hope people go and start to think about are they getting their information from people who are trying to exploit us or people who are trying to unify us? We’ve seen this this week. We’ve seen the governor of Utah who I got to give a lot of credit to who has tried to bring this country together. We have not seen that from the president of the United States, and I don’t think we can expect to. I’ve seen it from my Senate colleague from Utah, John Curtis, you know, who is – you know, very thoughtful about how he’s approaching this. So my hope is that people go to those individuals that are not trying to exploit this tragic event."
