Utah governor renews call for ‘civility’ one year after Charlie Kirk assassination

One year after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Utah Governor Spencer Cox joined Governor Josh Shapiro in Philadelphia to renew his calls for civility. Kirk, an ultraconservative figure, evolved from a youth culture war character into a symbolic avatar for the right's vision of America. Following his death, he became a patron saint for patriots, with supporters citing his final messages as a call to dismantle radical left organizations that they claim are fomenting violence.
