I condemn the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann says "In America, we settle our differences through the ballot box, not through threats or violence." Not anymore, we used to. To this day, Donald Trump has not accepted his election loss of 2020, the most secure presidential election in our history. Charlie Kirk promoted "The Big Lie." I thought bearing false witness was a sin. The deadly political violence that occurred on Jan. 6, 2021 was the result of Donald J. Trump refusing to accept the will of the people.
