MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin leaders condemn the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

State Democratic Party Chair Devin Remiker released a statement condemning the violence and extending condolences to Kirk’s family.

Republican state Representative Calvin Callahan said “political violence has no place in America,” and “disagreement must never cross the line into violence.”

Others took to the ‘X’ social media platform, where Governor Tony Evers posted that “violence is never the answer for resolving our differences or disagreements,” while Assembly Speaker Robin Vos offered prayers for Kirk’s family but added (quote) “sad that the left has been radicalized to believe violence like this is okay — it never is.”
