September 17, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11) spoke with the Daily Signal about his full support of Speaker Mike Johnson's congressional resolution to honor the life, leadership, and legacy of Charlie Kirk. The resolution condemns Kirk's murder as an act of domestic terrorism and demands swift justice for this attack on free speech and conservative values.

Chairman August Pfluger's full statement:

"The brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk is a direct assault on conservative voices and the constitutional rights we hold sacred. We will not be silenced or intimidated by this act of domestic terrorism. I commend Speaker Johnson for his unwavering leadership in advancing this resolution that demands justice and honors a true American patriot who died defending the principles that built this nation. Charlie Kirk was a man of unwavering conviction who lived out his faith while fearlessly championing American values—he was murdered for speaking the truth, and those who killed him have only hardened our resolve to win bigger and speak louder for the conservative movement he died defending.”
