Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Marco Rubio articulated one of our biggest challenges during Charlie Kirk’s amazing memorial service in Phoenix, Arizona.
“Just days before Kirk passed away, he sent a message from abroad stating, ‘I am in South Korea. When I return to the U.S., I want to discuss various concerns.’ Kirk constantly strived to broaden his perspective and, despite his youth, possessed not just knowledge but remarkable wisdom,” Rubio said.
Secretary Rubio was referring to what had become Kirk’s Korean Campaign. Perhaps more than any other national figure, Kirk understood that the new South Korean government seems determined to destroy its opponents and Christianity. It seems equally determined to establish a closed, government-dominated state akin to North Korea and Communist China. The new government is not behaving anything like the democratic society with which America has been allied for 75 years – and previously saved from communist rule.
