The Blood of the Martyrs: Charlie Kirk’s Witness and Movement

Paul Kengor, The American Spectator

The eloquent and impressive governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, observed at the Friday

morning press conference announcing the shooter’s arrest that we are in a period of “darkness,” with the only question being whether we’re at the beginning or end. I would hasten to add that we’ve been in it for a very long time, and it will continue until the last day. But lately, yes, you can really feel it. It is very palpable. The blood of this martyr may well inspire and unleash a movement far bigger than Charlie Kirk’s evil shooter could have imagined.
