Representative Dan Crenshaw posted a series of statements on September 11, 2025, reflecting on the death of Charlie Kirk and addressing reactions to the event.

In his first post at 01:05 UTC, Crenshaw shared personal memories of Kirk: “This was the Charlie I knew. An intellectual. A fierce debater. Unafraid of any subject.

Later that morning, at 11:58 UTC, Crenshaw criticized those who responded to Kirk’s death with celebration: “Ghouls.

Morally deficient heartless monsters who are celebrating the death of someone because they disagree on politics and policy- not realizing they are what drives political violence.”

At 12:54 UTC, Crenshaw referenced both the anniversary of September 11th and recent events in another post: “September 11th reminds us that freedom has enemies. We saw it in the skies over New York and Washington in 2001. We saw it yesterday in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Dan Crenshaw is a U.S. Representative who has consistently secured reelection since first winning office in 2018, including victories over Peter Filler in 2024 (65.7% to 34.3%), Robin Fulford in 2022 (65.9% to 34%), Sima Ladjevardian in 2020 (55.6% to 42.8%), and Todd Litton in 2018 (52.8% to 45.6%).
