JD Vance about Charlie Kirk. “You did well”
Jd Vance devoted a comprehensive entry on the portal X. who wrote that their friendship began in 2017, when Charlie Kirk wrote to him after an interview he gave to Tucker Carlson. “After the program, a person I almost did not know sent me a private message on Twitter and said that I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk,” we read. It was he who introduced Vance to Donald Trump Junior. “Don answered my phone because Charlie asked him,” Vance admitted.
He also wrote that, like him, Kirk was skeptical of Trump and later believed in him the same. “When others were right, he studied from them. When he was right – and it was usually so – he was generous. Charlie never said:” and I didn't say? “. He said:” Hello “” – we read.
Vance wrote that the deceased activist supported his family very much when he felt overwhelmed with a new situation after he became a vice president. “Charlie was still calling and sent SMSs, checking what was at our family, offering tips and prayers,” he recalled.
“I talked to President Trump in the oval office today, and he said:” I know he was your very good friend “. I nodded in silence, and President Trump noticed that Charlie really loved his family,” he added. He ended the entry with the words: “You did well, my friend. Now we are taking over the baton.”
Donald Trump had previously referred to Charlie Kirk's death. “The great, or even legendary Charlie Kirk is dead. Nobody understood or had a heart for young people in the United States more than Charlie. He was loved and admired by everyone, especially by me, and now, when he is gone with us, Melania and I comply with his beautiful wife Erice and the family,” wrote the President of the United States on his platform. In turn, in the message he announced that his administration would find anyone who contributed to Kirk's murder.
