Andy Surabian says Charlie Kirk ‘was one of one’ after campus assassination

A friend of intimacy and colleague Charlie Kirk says that the conservative leader and media star “was one of them” and he will be replaced at all.

But Andy Surabian, a senior political advisor for both JD Vance and Donald Trump JR.

Kirk, who was shot and killed last Wednesday, during a university campus event in Utah, was a conservative activist, culture warrior, and the Rockstar media for millions of Maga and right -wing followers.

A decisive ally of President Donald Trump, Fase, and Donald Trump Junior, Kerk has turned the Turning Point Usa youth, which he participated in its establishment at the age of 18 into a very influential political force and a demand machine for voters in the presidential elections last year.

“I don’t think anyone will replace Charlie Kerk,” Sorabian said.

But Surabian, referring to the source of Kirk’s inspiration for a generation of young conservatives, “This is the thing that Charlie will be proud of, it is the thing that makes me proud of my evil.”

Sorabian said he met Kerk for the first time in 2018 and soon became “sidewalks between generations.”

“We were constantly verifying things with each other … each of us respects the political instincts of the other,” Sorabian said. “There was implicit confidence.”

In a post on social media, Sorabian wrote that he and Kirk “are quickly associated with our similar political views and our closeness, and in the end they developed a close friendship. We always had each other.

Sorabian said that Kirk was the person he presented to Vans, before the 2022 Verse campaign for the Senate in Ohio.

“I was skeptical, but since Charlie was affected by it, I was on the phone with the JD within an hour. After 90 minutes, after I got out of JD and decided to work together, Charlie told me enthusiastically that I would not regret it – and he was definitely right in it.”

Speaking with Fox News, Surabian was included from the many political features of Kirx.

“Charlie was a great mosque to collect donations. He was loved by donors. Charlie was very attractive and was very impressive in discussions. Charlie was very talented in the work of the media. It was a great host of dialogue programs. Politics rarely come numbers that could combine all these things in the way Charlie put together.”

“You don’t care about the fact that, in addition to all these things, he was very smart. And most of all, he was essentially fit,” Sorabian added.

“Despite its influence, despite its famous, I fully believe that he is still at the beginning of his rise and not in the end,” he said.

Sorabian said that Kirk “was reaching a place where I think that within a few years, he had the ability to be Rush Limbo, and when I say that, anyone who understood the influence that Rush Limbo had on the conservative movement knows what is a great statement.”
