BRENT BOZELL: Where Were You When Charlie Died?

“Where were you when Charlie died?” Like the JFK assassination, this brutal murder will not be forgotten, not for many years to come.

You just felt it [Wednesday]. Something happened that pierced America’s soul — deeply. The non-stop media coverage across the dial (and the political spectrum) all afternoon and into the night. One analyst after the next choking back tears. The beautiful, heartfelt notes of sympathy from his political rivals. The announcement of his passing delivered to a shocked nation by the President of the United States himself, who then ordered all flags lowered to half staff.

Like Kennedy’s assassination, and the attempted assassinations of Reagan and Trump, 9/11, and the Challenger explosion, Kirk’s death is one of those moments we’ll all remember where we were when the news first broke, and then the dreadful news, about an hour and a half later that he was gone. RIP.
