Thursday on ABC’s “The View,” the co-hosts reacted to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg said, “It’s just beyond devastating. Our hearts, of course, go out to the family of Charlie Kirk. I mean, isn’t a fundamental part of being an American that we are able to express our opinions to each other without fear? Without this kind of horror happening? And it seems to be something we’re seeing more and more of. And it’s not even left or right; it’s just people being taken out because of their beliefs.”
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “Today, my heart just breaks for his young wife Erika, their two kidsListen, regardless of your politics, we have got to get to a place in this country where we see people we disagree with not as our enemies, but as fellow Americans with different viewpoints that we are willing to engage.”
Co-host Sara Haines said, “Also, even though we don’t all align with his views, what I deeply aligned with was he said, ‘When we stop talking, that’s when things get bad.’”
Co-host Sunny Hostin said, “This country, there’s just no place for this kind of violence in this country. I am heartbroken over it. I cannot believe that someone would kill another person because they were speaking their beliefs. This is antithetical to who we are as Americans.”
Co-host Joy Behar said, “We’re having a traumatic period right now.”
Goldberg said, “This is not the way we do it. And we say this every time. But somehow, it’s not resonating. And I hope that young Republicans never forget that they have a voice.”
