Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are

After yet another Colorado school shooting, an eighth grader named Winston tells @KDVR: āI only moved here a few months ago, and I didnāt think this would happen so soon.ā So soon. This is the heartbreaking effect gun violence is having on our kids. They now just EXPECT it.
