David Smith: Washington DC bureau chief for The Guardian on the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

The Governor of Utah is calling for calm, following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The 31-year-old was killed while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Thursday. The alleged killer 22-year-old Tyler Robinson is now in custody. Governor Spencer Cox says the U.S must end a chapter of violent division. The Guardian's David Smith says Cox's voice adds to others all calling for unity. "These remarks were welcomed by others who are making that case, who are just sick of the divisiveness, the default to the anger, the hatred."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
