The assassination of Charlie Kirk has left many questioning what the future of live events will look like for conservative commentators. Ben Shapiro says he won’t be deterred.
During the latest episode of The Ben Shapiro Show, The Daily Wire co-founder shared that he had been made aware of rumors that he had canceled upcoming appearances on college campuses in the wake of Kirk’s murder.
He firmly shot them down.
“I saw a lot of rumors online today. I was made aware of this by my team that I canceled some sort of college tour. That’s bulls—,” Shapiro said. “I saw those rumors. They are false. I will be coming to college campuses, many of them this year. We’re not going to be deterred.”
Shapiro continued by stating that the assassination of Kirk has only emboldened him to continue the work he’s been doing.
“Charlie’s voice is not silent,” he stated. “We’re going to pick up that blood-stained microphone where Charlie left it. And to those who would intimidate, who would seek to stop us, who would seek to end free discussion, who believe that they have ownership over public spaces, and can violently threaten and kill people who speak freely. We are not going to stop. I have two words: f— you.
“We will not stop telling the truth, we will never stop debating and discussing, we will never stop standing up for what America is and for what you should be,” Shapiro concluded. “And we will never let Charlie Kirk’s voice die.”
