Pelosi and Giffords react to Kirk’s shootingpublished at 21:03 British Summer Time
US politicians are sharing their shock after the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, says she is praying for Kirk’s recovery.
“Political violence has absolutely no place in our nation.
All Americans should pray for Charlie Kirk’s recovery and hold the entire UVU community in our hearts as they endure the trauma of this gun violence,” she wrote on X.
Former US representative Gabby Giffords also posted, condemning violent responses to political differences. In 2011, Giffords was shot in the head during a meeting with constituents in a grocery store parking lot. She survived, but resigned from office due to a brain injury.
“Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence,” she said.
