Representative Dan Crenshaw posted a series of tweets on September 10, 2025, addressing an incident involving Charlie Kirk and expressing his reaction to the news.
In a tweet posted at 19:04 UTC, Crenshaw wrote, “God Bless Charlie Kirk, I can’t believe what I’m hearing right now. I’ve known Charlie since 2018. *His first son just turned one. His daughter is only 4.* I don’t care how much you hate his opinions or rhetorical tactics, this is the most despicable act of hate imaginable.” Earlier in the day at 14:11 UTC, he shared a post containing two links without additional commentary: “https://t.co/KwZeZ90FH7 https://t.co/lBu7UM7QR2”. Later at 19:43 UTC, Crenshaw added another message referencing his immediate response to the situation: “My initial thoughts on what happened today. https://t.co/WfeNY68Ful”.
Dan Crenshaw has represented Texas’s 2nd congressional district since winning election in 2018. He secured re-election in subsequent cycles with significant margins over his opponents—defeating Peter Filler in 2024 with nearly two-thirds of the vote and previously overcoming Robin Fulford in 2022, Sima Ladjevardian in 2020, and Todd Litton in 2018.
Charlie Kirk is a conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA. Crenshaw’s reference to knowing Kirk since 2018 highlights their longstanding acquaintance.
