4. Tucker Carlson: 'The only real solution is Jesus'

Conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson drew parallels between Kirk's legacy and that of Jesus Christ, noting both of them were murdered by people who wanted to silence the truth.

Words of WISDOM from the one and only Tucker Carlson:

Carlson, who spoke for about five minutes, said Kirk was ultimately "a Christian evangelist" and that his assassination echoed the actions of people who have tried to stifle the Gospel for thousands of years.

"It actually reminds me of my favorite story ever," he said. "So, it's about 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, and Jesus shows up, and He starts talking about the people in power. And He starts doing the worst thing that you can do, which is telling the truth about people."

"And they hate it, and they just go bonkers," he said, presumably referring to the religious authorities of the time. "They hate it, and they become obsessed with making Him stop: 'This guy's got to stop talking. We've got to shut this guy up.'"

Noting that killing Jesus was the solution those in power mistakenly thought would "fix the problem," Carlson added that the Beatitudes show that God inverts the intentions of the wicked and that "everything is sort of the opposite of what you think it's going to be."

Carlson went on to say he believes that while Kirk's message was often political, it also transcended politics because he knew society’s deepest problems were spiritual.

"The main thing about Charlie and his message: he was bringing the Gospel to the country," he said. "He was doing the thing that the people in charge hate most, which is calling for them to repent."

"Charlie was a political person who was deeply interested in coalition building and in getting the right people in office, because he knew that vast improvements are possible politically," said Carlson. "But he also knew that politics is not the final answer. It can't answer the deepest questions, actually; that the only real solution is Jesus."
