The killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Wednesday prompted a rare show of unity among every living former U.S. president, who joined President Donald Trump in publicly condemning the attack.
Kirk was fatally shot during a student Q&A at Utah Valley University in an attack that reverberated through Washington, with tributes and outrage pouring out across the political spectrum and past presidents releasing statements in the hours afterward.
Each one offered condolences while outright condemning the assassination.
Former President Bill Clinton wrote he was “saddened and angered by Charlie Kirk’s murder,” urging Americans to “redouble our efforts to engage in debate passionately, yet peacefully.”

I’m saddened and angered by Charlie Kirk’s murder. And I hope we all go through some serious introspection and redouble our efforts to engage in debate passionately, yet peacefully. Hillary and I are keeping Erika, their two young children, and their family in our prayers.

Statement by President George W. Bush:
"Today, a young man was murdered in cold blood while expressing his political views. It happened on a college campus, where the open exchange of opposing ideas should be sacrosanct. Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens. May God bless Charlie Kirk and his family, and may God guide America toward civility."

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
